THE best part of every person’s education is that which they give to themselves, the right reading wakes up slumbers and gives needed goals to those who still have none. It is good to read things that count, notice things that count and remember them.
All these things can only be found by reading the north-east-west-south-papers daily it has started many on the main road and off the detours. It will always be a remarkable influence upon one’s life.
It will open a new world because you will resolve at the time of reading it, and then you would immediately commence to devote your life to the acquisition of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. It is wise to read copy for keep, to remember and later to use while researching.
There is something about turning memories into meaningful keepsakes that get us bowled over by a romantic wave of sentimentality; and the thought of an entirely custom-made wedding newspaper theme – filled with memories-does just that and this will forever be a memorable wedding.
You do not need to be a journalist to put up such a theme; it works well for every human being whatever the career.
When I was doing my primary education, we had manual work once a week and our class teacher always told us to go with a copy of a newspaper,
to be used for cleaning windows, failure to this, one received a beating. She took it as gospel truth that it was the number one window cleaner.
It was difficult for me to carry a newspaper because my late father did not allow any copy to leave his home library. He bought a copy every single day which was delivered to him at 05:30 hours sharp, whatever the season, even if it was raining cats-and-dogs.
I did not understand why he kept newspapers so nicely and orderly, so being ignorant got a copy without his permission for fear of being beaten at school. I became comfortable cleaning window with newspapers, at the market every item l bought was wrapped in a corn shaped handmade newspaper, all these made me to believe that was the main use a newspaper.
My turning point came when my late father discovered that some newspapers were missing from his home library and I took the newspaper of the day, he bought it at 05:30 hours, and on the same day, I got it at 13:00 hours and cleaned school windows. He explained to me how much information the newspaper carries, since then my attitude changed, I have appreciated how powerful, organised, educational and informative the newspaper is, it teaches a lot about the world in which we live in.
Four years ago, I attended a women’s entrepreneurship workshop, one of the facilitators said cutting newspapers into triangular shapes can be made into nice bracelets because it can bring a lot of money in return, to the ignorant excellent idea. Cutting the newspapers means that we do not care about ourselves, children and grandchildren; they need newspapers kept for them in order to be better informed.
If I was that facilitator my lesson to the women would have been; buy beads, make bracelets out of them by giving them a touch of individuality, make them distinctive so that they are unique and far much better than the ones we are familiar with. Use the newspaper to be heard and discover business opportunities throughout the country and the world at large as it will bring you into exceedingly close contact with people in practically all walks of life.
Read a newspaper when you wake up or before you retire at night for more ideas that can bring in money and take your business to the next level, while your competitors will be cutting it into smaller pieces and watching a pirated movie.
Having a newspaper is like having the whole world in your hands as it also helps your imagination to grow, this is why when you go to a new place you feel so comfortable as if you have been there before, reading newspapers has taken us places.
It is sad to note that the newspaper is still used by many people to clean windows, wrap fritters, kapenta, when painting the walls they are put on the floor to avoid paint from dripping on the ceramic tiles, used for bracelets, lighting up a fire, wrapping breakables.
Three outstanding powers in the world of organised efforts are churches, schools and newspapers they are powerful, have been organised throughout the years and still are, having a newspaper inspired wedding theme surely shows how organised, well planned your wedding is. The newspaper keepsake that honors all that is special to the couple in love by capturing your love stories, bridal party features and other sweet bits for the delight of your wedding guests.
With show stopping newspaper-style headlines, each custom written wedding newspaper is printed on the finest newsprint creating the feel of a known black and white newspaper and then having it crafted in a newspaper style of your preference to suit any wedding theme from vintage to contemporary.
For those lovely decorations, bridal party wear black and white will surely make a statement. Yohji Yamamoto, Japanese designer says the colour black is modest and arrogant at the same time black is lazy and easy but mysterious. Above all black says: “l don’t bother you-don’t bother me”.
Sometimes the greatest colour theme statements don’t have to be yelled out but merely whispered. These colours aren’t about attracting attention but their role is simply to make guests feel special, loved as they give a very strong ambience. They also have the winning combination of affordability, sophisticated and modern. Black and white symbolises groom and bride living together in harmony.
In celebration of your wedding journey together as the bride and groom why not choose to share your happy news with your guests in good life long fashionable vintage style by featuring in your very own newspaper, overflowing with memories and love, the untold stories gathered stories and preserved in print for the couple and guests to treasure always.
The number of pages can be reduced to suit the length of the story.
Remember the newspaper is all about you, front and inside pages should be your story, and those who helped you can be appreciated at the back page.
Starring on the cover page of your own newspaper perfectly suited to your romantic vintage wedding theme, it will share your love story and dishes the romantic details of the proposal. Building upon your theme that wedding love story can continue with matching wedding programme, favourite scripture, song and food everything so close to your hearts,
put inside can be joyfully presented to your guests upon arrival at the wedding ceremony.
Put the whole wedding planning, church service program, sermon and vows put in newspaper, so that even those who never attend the service can know how important it is and will never miss next time they are invited.
For a long time people have believed that weddings are all about photos, we love to view them but to those lovely photos a story should accompany to explain how you planned, budget even if it is a shoestring, the generation to come will not understand those pictures alone some are just too busy, newspaper wedding story will benefit even the generation to come.
As guests enter the reception venue, a wedding newspaper should be given to them or nicely displayed on elegant tables and all names of guests written and table numbers as most wedding don’t start on time so will have something to keep them busy. They will be grateful to hit the road with a favor with a difference.
While waiting for an appointment atcompanies, schools, I was made to sit idly looking at the receptionist and wondering whether she plated Brazilian or Indian or none of the above, i have stopped letting the grass grow around me my putting waiting time to work and never be doing nothing, I am a moving library to make use of every opportunity.
I came across a gentleman who runs a barber shop, has added newspaper library.
Every customer who goes there reads a copy while having their hair done, he does not care about what everyone is saying that the reading culture is bad, boys and men go there in large numbers, not only is he making money but making the world a better place to live in by improving the reading culture.
Read something worthwhile for at least one hour in unexpected ways does reading give many a goal in life and to many others it gives a fresh start, lack of reading has caused common decorators, common caterers and common master of ceremonies because they do not concentrate on new things that count, they put in more working hours a day, but their production remains common as they do not read, reading is the secrete for becoming uncommon.
Keep a supply of newspapers around where children can see them as they cover a variety of subjects so expose young people to the stimulation of reading. There is no telling where it may lead, leaders are readers.
As the wedding celebration comes to a close, that newspaper wedding inspiration will bring your love story to a sweet ending as you begin the next chapter of your lives together. That copy is perfect for each guests hand, it’s a memorable wedding keepsake for all to treasure and l would love to have one for my home library.
