Rex, a black German Shepherd in Lynchburg, was among the first dogs on the state's new Dangerous Dog Registry.
The Dangerous Dog Registry stems from legislation passed last year, in the wake of a Sposylvania County woman being killed by a dog in 2005.
it works much like a sex offender database. Any dog considered dangerous by a court must now be registered online, and it's visible to anyone.
"I think it's pretty much fair to know if they have any violent dogs in the neighborhood, especially if they have kids around," said Mazi Ochayon, who owns two dogs of her own.
The site allows visitors to search by county or zip code. Profiles for dogs that are registered include photos of the animal, the breed or mix, and what the animal did to wind up on the registry in the first place.
But while most say the intention of the site is good, it may go a bit too far in some cases.
"I think it depends where you're living, possibly if you're out on a farm maybe it wouldn't be as necessary," said Laura Granito, who was walking her two small dogs on the downtown mall Wednesday.
Along with the registry, dangerous dog owners will have to post signs on their property about the dog, and must also carry $100,000 in liability insurance. The pet will also have to wear a special dangerous dog tag.
But critics of the site point out that there's no way to specifically search for dogs that have attacked people, as opposed to dogs that have attacked other animals.
And some say there are numerous responsibilities that can't be taught through and online database.
"I think it's a combination of parents teaching their children how to approach a dog, and also the pet owners responsibility as far as what they allow their pet to do, and what kind of contact they allow them to have with the public as well," said Granito.
Owners also have to pay $100 to the state to register the dog. Then each year there's a $35 annual renewal fee.
Owners who don't follow the rules, could face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
The state hopes to have all the dangerous dogs in Virginia registered and on the web site by October.

We're going for gold as I welcome back Brides Up North Sponsor Claire of Calligraphy For Weddings. She's making our pages even prettier this afternoon as she launches her stunning new gold calligraphy service.
You saw it here first… get ready to glisten.
claire says: Gold calligraphy glistening in the sunshine on handwritten menus, place cards, tags and table cards – a wonderful counterpoint to a messy, richly coloured natural setting. I wanted to show brides how to work with a natural theme and bring together sophisticated details and a messy, rustic background. I went back to nature and this intimate shoot took place on the shores of England's deepest lake on a sunny autumn morning.
The tablescape is all about rich, natural colours: a palette of burgundy and pink tones with mossy greens and glowing gold. The lettering sparkles in the sunshine: metallic gold calligraphy inks are super luxurious and oh so wonderful to see – rub your finger across the letters and you can feel the raised gold swirls under your fingertips.
A rich and colourful place setting was created using mixed textures and materials: moss and branches in their natural setting were complemented by ombre brocades, vintage china plates and rich pink gilded glassware. All of the styling elements were locally sourced from independent businesses – from forks to flowers! Counterbalancing the natural backdrop and messy tangles of brocade was the elegant calligraphy: loops and swirls of gorgeous gold on luxury burgundy paper stock.
I really wanted to create a look which can be remade by DIY brides: vintage china and glassware is everywhere; and mixing natural textures of wood and moss with just a few bought flowers can add magic to every wedding table. It's what tablescapes are all about – combining elements in a creative way to make unique and charming place settings for your guests. Replace my lakeshore 'table' with the real tables at your venue and you'll have an enchanting reception style your guests will love!

I'm firmly of the opinion that your wedding day should be the very best party that you've ever been to.
It looks like Jessica and Craig took the same view when they said 'I do' at the gorgeous Thornton Manor on The Wirral earlier this year. Gorgeous outfits, good food, vibrant flowers and plenty of fun and games left their guests in the mood for a very beautiful all night party.
Alka-Seltzer anyone?
With images by Elbowroom Photography.
jessica says: We got engaged in Rome, Italy. After a romantic candlelit dinner we caught a taxi to the Trevi Fountain. We found a quiet spot to the side in an alcove and he got to one knee. This was after a day walking around the Vatican.
We were married on 23rd May 2014 at Thornton Manor – the beautiful setting & extensive grounds coupled with the exquisite manor house made it an easy decision. It's spectacular venue with so much history.
We chose careful colour palettes throughout the day using white and cream for purity and innocence during the Ceremony, and then the Wedding Breakfast & my bouquet were extremely colourful to reflect our personalities!
I chose a plain but elegant champagne/oyster dress with a long cathedral veil from Blush Bridal.
Craig wore a purple kilt from MacKenzie Menswear in Glasgow and my bridesmaids were in floor length purple gowns by Mori Lee, also from Blush Bridal.
Flower Design created the most beautiful of bouquets, button holes and displays throughout the venue, using orchids and other vibrant flowers. Flower Design worked with my ideas really well and produced the most splendid arrangements.
Elbowroom Photography were our photographers. They were fantastic – beautiful pictures, lots of coordination on the day and part of the party!
Chapman Holmes were our caters and were fantastic! Craig's favourite food is steak, so decided that we really wanted the menu to reflect what we love to eat. We decided on Goats Cheese with Pesto Credot, Roast Sirloin of Steak with Dauphenois Potatoes and our cake as dessert.
Our pretty wedding cake was by The Frostery in Uppermill. It was Lemon Drizzle and we served it as our dessert with Raspberry Coulis. We had a cheesecake for the evening so the evening guests could enjoy an alternative wedding cake.
We had David Buckingham, a guitarist from the ceremony through to the end of the meal. My father has always played the guitar and when we came across him at a wedding fair he was playing the very piece that my father used to play to me as a child.
Soul Apostle were the band providing lots of fun and great music. Tom was our DJ and listened to our tastes and played us the best music which meant I danced all night!
We had a photobooth which people stuck into a book and left us their best wishes and messages.
We hired the lakeside marquee for the evening reception so we could have a big party and part of the marquee is a nightclub so we could create the party atmosphere. My favourite part of the day was dancing all night!
We took a week's mini moon in Barbados but plan to go to South America in September for 3.5 weeks.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to make sure you take time out on the day to spend together and have a moment of reflection.

Designed and shot by husband and wife team Kristin & Mark (collectively Mr & Mrs W), I've a styled bridal treat lined up for you today! With rich colours, dramatically dark styling and texture galore, this is a decadent close to an autumnal Thursday afternoon.
Wrap up warm…
With styling and images by Mr & Mrs W.
Kristin says: Our inspiration for the shoot was in essence 'Tweed and Country'. With tweed being seen more and more in wedding fashion, I wanted to incorporate it with the Bride as well as the Bridegroom and nothing encompasses tweed and country than a Cheshire farm shoot, in both senses of the word.
I wanted to start with outdoor pursuits and end with a debauched party and feast with a dark undertone, using antlers, feathers and the odd skull here and there.
The team we used for the shoot are local to the area. We worked together before and I knew that each supplier would provide exactly what I envisaged, which sometimes even I can't do!
To realise my concept, the venue was always going to be Owen House as its so rustic, quirky and rural and there is nowhere quite like it in the North West.
For menswear it was no contest with the tweed experts at Whitfield and Ward being close at hand, and the beautiful wedding dresses came from The Wedding Boutique Cheshire. Fiona actually hand designs and makes her own styles so was able to make all the little extras I needed.
The outstanding hair and make up was by Nicholas Austen, the flowers were by Living Colour Floral Design and our props came from The Authentic Hire Company and Pretty Little Trio.
The shoot was such good fun. Everyone got so involved and really understood the brief. We hope that you like the results! Going forward I have another couple of shoots in mind and I might even go a bit darker next time, but in the meantime I am looking forward to creating some enchanted woodlands and a sequin extravaganza in a Tipi for some real life brides.
All the suppliers, props and styling are all available in and around the Knutsford area.

Packing a zesty punch to end the week on a vibrant high, we welcome Miriam and Richard to the blog with their opulent, colourful and champagne fuelled Algerian inspired wedding.
Get ready to pop the fizz… this looks like my kind of celebration.
With images by Matt Horan.
Miriam says: Richard proposed when we went away for the weekend to the lakes, it was actually my brother in law's 30th Birthday which Rick kyboshed. We walked up to the room and the bed was laid out with flowers, it took me a while to comprehend what they said and the first thing that came out my mouth was " I think we are in the wrong room!" anyway, on closer inspection the rose petals said "Will you marry me?" and I turned round and Rick was on one knee. It was a surreal moment but I of course said yes and the champagne got opened.
We were married on Thursday 17th July 2014 at Colshaw Hall in Pever. We just fell in love with this place. It is a stately home and was just beautiful. The owner is also very down to earth which made us want to go with them even more.
It is just the most beautiful venue, gorgeous gardens and you felt you were a million miles away even though you weren't.
My dress was a Heritage gown, by Amanda Wyatt and Charlotte Balbier. I got it from Love Bridal Boutique and I just fell in love with it. Rick wore a tailored suit that he had especially made for him and my fabulous bridesmaids all wore dresses from Debenhams.
We had a Algerian theme as my dad is Algerian and also a fizz theme as I love Champagne, so all the tables were named after Champagnes. The colours were all middle eastern and the food followed this theme.
Our flowers were from Red Floral Architecture and were very blingy with diamante in them! We also had lanterns and candles.
Matt Horan was our photographer and we'd certainly recommend him! He was very natural and really caught the moment.
We had a videographer, Tom from Silk Wedding Films who was great, you didn't even know he was there.
We used a wedding planner called Janice who really supported and helped us through the whole process.
We carried the Algerian theme into our wedding breakfast so served a mezze to start which included taboluh, merguez sasuage, humous, feta with harissa, flat breads, we then had lamb and couscous with roasted veg and a trio of desserts.
My dad picked all the wine which included red, white, fizz and champagne.
We gave Algerian sweets as favours and instead of a wedding cake we had lots of mini pavlovas, they were lovely!
We had a jazz band in the day called Gypsies of Bohemia and a band called The Rush in the evening – we all had a good dance!
The whole day was just amazing but it just went very quickly. We are both foodies so I would have to say the food part was lovely, even though Rick was too nervous to eat as he knew he was going to do his speech!
We went to France, Italy and Spain for our honeymoon.
In France we stayed in a Michelin starred chateaux for 4 nights, we then got the train to Italy for 4 nights where we visited Lake Maggorie and finally relaxed in a villa in the Andalusian mountains for a week.
It was great that we visited a few different places.
I am sure all brides say this but my top tip for other Brides Up North would be to ENJOY every second as it flies by!

This morning we join newlyweds Kerry and Anthony for their oh-so-pretty wedding in the North West. A gorgeous gown, beautiful blooms and a softly romantic colour palette proved the perfect recipe for a stunning celebration.
Le sigh.
With images by Julie Lomax Photography.
Kerry says: We got engaged in Barcelona. Anthony took me away for the week after my birthday, he made a scrap book with pictures and quotes in it of our time together over the previous 5 years. It included our first Christmas and our first holiday together along with other special occasions. On the back page it read 'Will you marry me?' and he was down on one knee when I looked up.
The women in my family all share our wedding anniversary in August. Keeping up with family tradition we chose 9th August 2014. We were married at St Peters Church RC, Middleton. This is a family church, my dad and my granddad made built the entrance to this church and the original altar.
The wedding had a rustic country garden feel, with a vintage twist. We are both very down to earth people and wanted people to feel comfortable and enjoy the day. We feel like this came across on the day, a lot of people commented on the feeling of romance in the theme and style.
We chose a colour scheme of vintage mauve, in keeping with the country feel.
My wedding dress was a Jenny Packham gown, called Ruby (also my birth stone)! I only tried three wedding dresses on and knew straight away that 'she' was the one. It was in keeping with the style and feel of the wedding and I felt a million dollars wearing it.
I bought her from the girls at The White Closet in Didsbury.
Anthony wore a morning suit, in deep navy, with an ivory cravat from Groom in Manchester.
The girls wore twobirds Bridesmaid dresses, They loved them! Everyone commented on how gorgeous they looked. The girls wore their dresses differently, to reflect their different personalities and styles. The colour I wanted had not been released in the UK so had to be shipped to the shop from America.
We had a VW camper Van, our all-time favourite! We hired her from Nick Connah Camper Hire. The guests travelled in a 1961 AEC Bridge Master vintage bus hired from Yorkshire Heritage Bus Company.
Our photographer was Julie Lomax, We met her at a wedding fair in Manchester. She was very approachable and very professional, however after spending time with her felt like she was a long-time friend. She knew exactly how we wanted our wedding photographing and it really felt like she was one of our guests on our wedding day. We were totally at ease working with her.
Rebecca Reville was our videographer. We cant wait to see her master piece from our wedding day, another amazingly talented person who made our day so special. She worked amazingly well with Julie our photographer!
We had birdcages with tea lights hanging from the inner side of the cage. This sat on a bed of flowers (in keeping with flowers in my bouquet) and in the centre was a layer of moss, sitting on a tree trunk plinth.
Scattered on the table were numerous tea light holder in different sizes and styles. These really added to the country garden effect and added that extra romance in the evening once it had gone dark.
Our flowers were by the amazing Victoria from Lancashire Floristry. Her hard work and commitment in the run up to our wedding day was outstanding. I loved my flowers!
Everyone received a scratch card and a miniature spirit bottle, these were in a personalised favour box with our names and the date of the wedding. These were printed by Cotton Letterpress. We individualised the favour boxes by giving each person their favourite spirit.
Our cake was four tiers made by the wonderful Rachel Hanna, owner of Marie Antoinette Cakes.
Sheila O'Sullivan our wedding singer sang in the Church, adding to the romance with her perfect voice. There wasn't a dry eye in the church! Our wedding guests still comment on her talent.
We hired a casino and a magician to keep everyone entertained whilst we had our pictures.
Our band for the evening cancelled on us on the week before the wedding, after being booked for 14months. After everyone chipping in to help find a replacement, Champagne Skies came to the rescue. They were amazing and totally pulled it out of the bag for us.
My favourite part of the day was walking down the aisle. It was day I dreamt about for so long. I couldn't wait to see Anthony and his reaction when he saw me, but I also knew that once I got to the end of the aisle and met him, I'd soon be his wife. After 9 years together, it was a moment I was so looking forward to.
For our honeymoon we went to Mexico, Rivera Maya. It was total luxury and relaxation. We had both worked so hard in the 12 months before the wedding and it was just what we needed. We spent two weeks bonding and being together. Plus Anthony surprised me to swimming with Dolphins during our second week out there, number one on my bucket list! Daily massages on the beach, tea on the beach in the evenings and plenty of drunken nights on tequila.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be that although at times the planning can be very stressful, remember the main reason why you are doing it. It really will be the best day of your lives if you relax and take it all in. Make sure you make time for each other on the day too! It goes so quickly and before you know it, it's the last dance, but make sure to enjoy the day together, we stayed by each other's side throughout the day.
If I had the chance to do it all again tomorrow… I would!

This afternoon its all about the finishing touches, as we join Brides Up North exhibitor Rocks For Frocks as the debut their gorgeous new collection on these pages. What will be your crowning glory? With images by Morgan Wiltshire Photography.
Gail says: Our Rocks For Frocks collection this year is called So Pretty Bride and features pieces with hand made Swarovski crystal and freshwater pearl flowers. Coming slightly away from the heavy vintage influence, it has plenty of sparkle, beading and subtle shades of colour, including pale golds, chalk white, ivory and white opals.
The brand new 30 James Street Hotel were delighted to be involved in our collection launch and gave us free reign in the hotel to shoot whereever we wanted. We made the most of their amazing roof terraces and entrances which have stunning views of the Liverpool skyline and the river. We started the shoot with a "pretty princess" feel and finished with a dark and dramatic look, which so suited the interior of the hotel lobby. A large field next to our boutique at The Wedding House had been planted with poppies and wildflowers for the Remembrance Sunday and it looked so pretty that we stayed outdoors for the first shots, before moving to the hotel.
Morgan Wiltshire Photography created these beautiful images. Based in Shropshire, Morgan has a serene, relaxed working style, she is so easy to work with and she captures the details and the backgrounds wonderfully. Make Up was by Cathryn Kerwin Rawlinson. The brief given to Cathryn was very much a 'pretty and romantic bride'. Cathryn used Airbase airbrush makeup to give our model the perfect flawless base and for the eyes she opted for a lovely pinky/lilac look using a Kiko Cosmetics quad palette in lilacs, pinks and dark burgundy. For contour Cathryn used her HD Makeup contour palette and on cheeks she used a pinky glow using Illasmasqua shades Lover and Hussy. Finally for the lips she finished with two different colours starting with Lollitint by Benefit and moving onto a lip gloss by Mac. Hair was by Carol Ellis Thompson. A stylist with over 21 years experience, Carol is a Rocks For Frocks bride. With a passion for wedding hair, she creates wonderful curls, up dos and plaits and is not phased at all by the constant need for hair changes on the go in photo shoots. All gowns were from Cloud 9, and accessories by Rocks For Frocks.

Today I'm really proud to make your acquaintance with one of our lovely Brides Up North sponsors, Fairclough Photography. Katie and James, the awesome husband and wife team behind these amazing images: fabulous photographers and all round lovely souls.
Get them booked for your big day, and your wedding pictures could look as good as this little lot.
Katie and James are also offering a free 20" x 14" museum quality canvas print if you quote 'Brides Up North Is The Best Wedding Blog!' when making your booking. Can't argue with that!
All images by Fairclough Photography.
How did you get into wedding photography?
We are both self-taught photographers; Katie's passion for photography developed through a side project on her graphic design degree course, and after developing her street photography in New York as a student, discovered that people and emotional storytelling were her passion and inspiration to voice through photography. James fell in love with the photography of National Geographic, and after a lot of wet, muddy outings and ruined 35mm film, started applying some of his theatre experience and techno-geekery to the creative lighting we are constantly developing to use with our couples.
Why wedding photography specifically?
Since getting married ourselves in March 2013, we have both been obsessed with weddings! We are fascinated by the whole process, from planning up until the 'i do' (and the shenanigans that come after that of course!) and the amazing people you get to meet. We just didn't want it to end. So to combine both of our passions for photography with another love of ours is the dream.
What is your favourite thing about being a wedding photographer?
There are so many things! If we had to choose one though, it would be sharing our Bride and Groom's special day, it always feels like such a privilege to be chosen to share in such an momentous occasion. It always brings back lovely memories from our day too!
How do you get couples to relax on the day?
Having been recently married ourselves, we know how the nerves and emotions feel on the morning of the wedding – we don't go in shooting away straight away, we just become part of the day right from the beginning, which let's us all be comfortable and relaxed for the rest of the day.
Any advice to any brides who don't like to have their picture taken?
Definitely come and have a pre wedding/engagement shoot – it's very important to get to know your photographers, and once you're used to the camera being around, when it comes to the wedding day you'll be a natural, and it won't be such a shock to have a photographer around.
What sort of makeup should a bride wear to look great in her pictures?
Any good make up artist will be able to work with you to create the look you want on your day – it can also influence the types of pictures you want to make on your day too – for example, if you create a film noir look with high contrasts, that's really going to shine through in the pictures.
Anything to avoid which might look bad in the wedding pictures?
Using too much fake tan can sometimes create an awkward contrast between skin and the white of the wedding dress – also under tungsten lighting in reception venues, it tends to naturally bring out the orange tone, which isn't desirable for a natural look.
Which celebrity wedding would you most like to photograph and why?
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter's! We're both huge lovers of their work and just imagine the type of wedding they'd have with both of their styles and imaginations fused together!
Any really memorable weddings that you have captured?
One of the most memorable was a really intimate, small outdoor wedding in cambridge, perfectly elegant, with the bride and groom walking down the aisle together. We love an elaborate wedding, but when it's simply driven by the emotion of a tight group of close family and friends, there seems to be a certain magic we can't get enough of.
Are you married? Tell us about your day.
YES! We said 'I do' in Ashton Memorial on 19th March 2013, a beautiful but freezing cold afternoon at the top of Lancaster. We chose the folly as we wanted a grand yet intimate building for our small party of 45, and after a beautiful and emotion-charged ceremony and portraits around Williamson Park, we retired to The Grand Hotel in our home town of St Anne's for the reception. With a purple, black and white colour scheme, Katie pulled off a stunningly elegant look, with flowers by Flower Design throughout. We had a superb string quartet and a 5 piece jazz band for the evening entertainment, and then headed out to the seafront to let off Chinese lanterns to round off the evening.
Any funny stories to share?
We were recently doing an engagement shoot with a lovely Bride and Groom to be in a little village called Downham in Clitheroe. James was stood in the river photographing (as you do) and Katie is at the side. A 'lady' pulls up in her car just beside Katie, gets out and very indiscreetly lets one off! James instantly (and very loudly) blames Katie! How very rude?! Luckilly the couple heard none of this, obliviously schmoozing on the bridge over the river.
What sets you apart from other wedding photographers?
As a husband and wife team, we can be in two places at once on a wedding day, capturing twice the emotion and little moments which make the day special. Katie follows the bridal party from first prep all the way to the ceremony, while James hangs around with the groom and checks out the venue. We can then get two angles on the ceremony, and create more complex and elaborate lighting setups between us to really add some sparkle.
What can a couple who book you expect on the day?
We like to be as unobtrusive as possible on the big day and the fact that we're a husband and wife team helps us to achieve this; neither of us has a set thing to photograph, we just lurk like photographic ninjas, capturing the fun and emotion in a spontaneous fashion. In the morning, Katie is hanging out with the Bridal party capturing the goings-on, whilst James checks out the venue and photographs the groomsmen's antics. We then come together to shoot the ceremony. Whilst James is at the front with the Groom nervously waiting, Katie is capturing the emotional last moments before the Bride walks down the aisle. After the happy couple are declared Mr & Mrs, we love to take them away from the hustle and bustle of the wedding party for a portrait session that gives them time to reflect on 'wow, we are married!' Even though we're there, our couples always seem oblivious to that fact and they tell us how magical those moments of alone time are – we always find we make the most natural beautiful pictures this way too. The rest of the day is usually party time, where we continue stalking the guests, photographing the laughter and fun up until the first dance as husband and wife.
What is included in your "package"?
Our most popular package is the Full Day Package and included in that is the following:
*A face-to-face chat about your wedding day and what we could do for you and then two consultations leading up to your wedding so we all know what we're doing!
*Two photographers (Mr & Mrs Fairclough!) to capture each and every special moment of your big day (up to 12 hours coverage);
*Pre-wedding portrait shoot in a location of your choice – a fun way to build up to the big day and get to know us;
*Professional editing of your images;
*A private password protected gallery for you to view, share and download your images after the wedding;
*Large print quality images on a USB stick presented to you in a stunning presentation box (see the image below
*A CD with a slideshow of the best images from your big day.
Can you give us an idea on price?

November 3rd, 2014 | Julia Braime
I'm putting my feet up (or running around after my 19 month old) today after closing our Brides Up North season of luxury wedding exhibitions with a busy and very, very beautiful event in Altrincham yesterday. Massive thanks to everyone who supported us during this – our very best yet – season, whether as some of our talented suppliers or fabulous visiting brides and grooms. I'm so proud of each and every event that we've hosted this autumn, and hope that we brought the pages of this wedding blog alive for you.
The pretty doesn't stop there though… we've updated our Wedding Fairs page with all the details of our 2015 events and would love to see you all there. Go see. Let's do it all over again.!
First things first though, I'm having a day off, and leaving you in the hands of Brides Up North Sponsor James Jebson Photography, and his gorgeous girls, Carla and Sarah, who designed their vintage inspired wedding day their own way. Be inspired!
Carla says: We got engaged in June 2013 in Lytham, the place of our first date, and were married on 31st August 2014 at The Villa, Wrea Green.
We opted for a dusky pink, ivory and grey colour scheme. We chose a vintage travel theme with an English country garden look for the flowers. We sourced vintage black and white postcard for places we had traveled together and used them as our centrepieces, writing the postcards out to our guests, explaining why that place is special to us.
We both wore dresses. We did not discuss what style we were going to wear, we just agreed on ivory as the colour. Sarah wore a vintage lace style dress with buttoned back from Lottie's Bridal Boutique. I wore a simpler dress with straps and a v neckline, with buttoned back and pearl detail, from The Dressing Room, Winmarleigh.
We both carried bouquets by Flower Design, which were the same yet opposites of each other. One had more pinks and the other had more ivory colours. They included English roses, hydrangea, gypsophila, carnations (these were the flowers that my Dad used to buy my Mum), foliage and rosemary as this is a flower associated with lost loved ones.
I also had a locket attached to my bouquet, which Sarah had bought me, with a picture of my Dad inside. It was so nice to have that with me as my Mum walked me down the aisle. These little touches made it feel as though he was close to us throughout the day.
The moment we walked in to the ceremony we both felt was so special. We each made our own entrance to the same song, 'How Long Will I Love You', by Ellie Goulding. We both agreed it was extremely emotional and hard to keep the tears back! We also wrote our own vows, which made the entire ceremony even more special and personal. The whole day was incredible, the first dance, the speeches, seeing all our guests… too many amazing moments to mention!
We hired 'Barney' a VW camper van through Little Limos. We wanted all our bridal party to travel to the venue on the day, so we had 4 trips, the ushers and page boys traveling first. After the ceremony they gave us a personalised bottle of champagne with our names and date of our wedding to enjoy on our first anniversary, which was a lovely touch.
We opted for a four tier cake, each tier a different flavoured sponge. We designed each tier differently, including indented hearts, vintage lace and edible lace. We also had iced hearts made and dusted with the pink to match our colour scheme. We kept the top tier for ourselves for the following day!
We did a lot of things homemade, including our favours which were leather luggage tags with a personalised travel quote inside.
We included a memory table and decided to have an extra button hole placed here in memory of my Dad.
We chose to use James Jebson Photography. James is such a genuine and charismatic guy who will capture all the moments you don't get to see in the day. He worked tirelessly from the moment he arrived to last thing at night. He is extremely talented and captured our day perfectly. The quality of his photos was incredible and he has made memories we will look back on for years to come.
James met up with us on a number of occasions before the big day which helped us all get to know one another. He helped us a lot with our timings and used his expertise to help us plan out our day. By the wedding day, it felt like James had become a friend not just a service and it certainly made us feel relaxed which I feel contributed towards our wonderful images. On the day he was always there if we needed him, whether it be photography related or anything else to do with our day. He played such a huge role and we can't thank him enough!
We selected our DJ as having a full dance floor was so important to us! Our DJ allowed us to specifically request the genre of music we thought our guests would enjoy the most.
We also thought a photo booth (we used The Mighty Boof!) would be lots of fun for our guests and it brought everyone together as the evening went on. The photo book we received the following day was fantastic, with everyone's photos and messages! We have recieved so many compliments since the wedding on how much our friends and family enjoyed the booth! A great little extra to your evening.
We also decided to have a sparkler send off towards the end of the night as we thought this would be an amazing photo opportunity. We provided sparklers for all our guests and our photographer orchestrated and captured the moment perfectly.
For our honeymoon we spent 3 weeks in America and Mexico, visiting Florida, Cancun and Las Vegas.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to start planning early. Take the time to make homemade things. Not only will it save you money but the sense of satisfaction is definitely worth the hard work!
Don't have any regrets… you only do this day once so do everything the way you want to. We went slightly over budget but were so pleased with the results in the day it was certainyg worth spending that little bit extra.
Finally, it is YOUR day. People will try to influence you but make sure you stay true to yourselves and what YOU and your partner want.

Earlier this week I introduced you to lovely Brides Up North Sponsor Rachel Joyce Photography, and couldn't resist sharing a few sneak peek pics from Saoirse and William's cute and quirky nuptials.
Today I'm back with the beautiful rose gold and ribbons celebration in all it's gorgeous glory.
Brides Up North, if you're wondering how you can work both pretty and original styling elements into your big day, here's an absolute masterclass.
With images by Rachel Joyce Photography.
Saoirse says: Though we had discussed getting married, we had not made it public or official. So the proposal either occurred on Chinese New Year when I demanded of William: 'Are you going to propose yet? I can't spend every day waking up thinking is this the day I get engaged?' or two days later, when we got engaged 'officially' in a coffee shop in London. The decision to look for a ring was mutual but after trying on a few and then almost deciding on one, we went to a coffee shop to decide. Then William said "Do you like that ring? Shall we buy it? Will you marry me?" I cried and we went to buy the ring.
We were married on 14th September 2014. Our ceremony was in the Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington. We didn't want to get married in a church, or in an 'all-in-one' venue so we researched venues with wedding licences. The room was small, but it fitted our guest number perfectly.
Also, we were looking for somewhere where our money might do some good – Haworth Art Gallery is open to the public and I remember going when I was younger. Barley Village Hall was also a childhood destination of mine and is run and maintained by volunteers.
If there was a theme, it was 'colour'. Everything was bright and that was intentional. It's the north in September. We had no control over the weather but we wanted the day to be bright in any way it could.
In addition, a few of the motifs were 'words & music' due to my love of poetry and William's of music. It was very DIY but it wasn't intentionally meant to look that way, just that the day had our mark on it.
My wedding dress was from Vintage Lane Boutique in Bolton. I wanted a 50s/60s style dress with sleeves and luckily this was the first dress I tried on. I was only looking for 'style' but having tried it on and her friend, who is not a squealer, squealing, she was torn. One cream tea later, I went back to buy it.
It was perfect; a simple 1960s dress. Lace, long-sleeved but with a chiffon train.
My now mother-in-law made me a beautiful lace knit shawl in pale blue and my pink flat pointy shoes were from Russell & Bromley.
My hat was yellow, my flowers had multi-coloured ribbons and there were balloons! I chose a hat as a love them and it would be the only chance I really had to get one designed for me. The sister of a good friend is a miliner and I went and tried on a variety of styles. The one I chose was 'the wild card'. Mary Franck – the miliner – then helped me changed the colour and shape. I love my hat and Mary was fabulous.
William wore a bespoke suit from Cad & The Dandy on Savile Row. His shoes were from Office and shirt and tie from Hawes & Curtis.
Our bridesmaids and groomsmen wore what they liked. We didn't want matching outfits for anyone. Three 'non-bridesmaids' wore Miss Piggy rose wrist corsages, as did the mother-in-laws, whilst the men wore Miss Piggy buttonholes.
My bouquet was simply amnesia roses with rosemary from Garlands Florist in Oswaldtwistle. Rachel at Garlands listened carefully to my design and produced exactly what I had in my head, choosing a lovely mixture of colour and texture for the various lengthed ribbons.
I arrived at the Gallery in a Morris Minor Traveller named Buttercup from Regent Classics. We both travelled from the venue to the reception in the same car.
We used Rachel from Rachel Joyce Photography. As you can see her photos are incredible. Everyone we have shown them to have remarked on how good they look. We heartily recommend her to anyone and everyone in the Lancashire area. And she is the only person who can make William smile in a posed shot!
For the reception, we had a variety of balloons from Party Glitz in Padiham. Other than that, we did all the decorations ourselves, from flowers in teacups, to bunting in the hall, and streamers, doileys, coloured table cloths and flowers from supermarkets. The flowers were in glass vases we had been collecting all year. The teacups were my grandmother's wedding set.
In fitting with the 'Words & Music' theme, we gave everyone a pencil with the words 'In Good Hands' on them (this was the title of our first reading at the service) and a 7" record, supplied by William's father who buys and sells records.
We had a three tiered cake, each with a different filling; one red velvet, one lemon and one Victoria sponge. It was made by a friend of William's mother's.
The food was supplied by Cabin Catering in Barley. Paula was brilliant in doing everything we asked for and providing a tasting session for us a few months before.
William's mother and father kindly supplied the wine which they bought in France. The white was a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the Champagne was Paul Goerg and the red has all been drunk so we can't remember what that was!
We had an additional poetry blessing before the meal, with five more poems. Also, as we allowed our friends to brng their children, we gave them each crayons, colouring books and the older ones got finger puppets of the bride and groom, kindly knitted by William's mother.
One set was stolen by a friend of the bride as she loved them so much!
We would definitely recommend Barley Village Hall. The couple who run it (John and Audrey) not only gave us free run of the place all of the day before and until lunchtime the day after, they also helped us set up.
In the evening, we hired a PA system and then Djed ourselves. It ended up that one friend did most of the music from his iPod.
William: My favourite part of the day was when Saoirse and I were first at the front of the wedding room in Haworth. We were holding hands and smiling to each other. It was wonderful to think that the decision we had made to be with each other was about to be made in front of all our family and friends.
Saoirse: My best bit was walking down the aisle. I had already met Will and said hello to most people so I was relaxed and thoroughly excited. I was so full of joy that I was to marry Will and these glorious people I loved were in one place that I got the biggest fit of giggles! I couldn't keep my joy in!
For our honeymoon we stayed in a cottage in Staithes in North Yorkshire. We spent the time pottering about in the village, walking on the beach and taking drives to Whitby and Scarborough. We are planning a grander honeymoon to Texas next year when we have a bit more money.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to put your own stamp on the day. As much as you think all wedding have to be the same or it is easier to let someone do the majority of the organising, putting the effort in will make your day even more special. We had a lot of people say how inventive our day was, but all we did was take control of the arrangements and not do anything that we didn't want to do. It caused quite a bit of stress (and a few tears) but knowing now how the day turned out, we would go through it all again.
Think how you want your wedding to feel and work on that. We made a list of what we wanted it to feel like (fun, easy, small) and a list of everything we didn't want and stuck to it.
Whilst hard at times, our day was so special. I won't ever stop smiling when I think about it. It was truly, truly glorious.

Lamb curry makes an easy dinner for the whole family and this slow-cooked version is particularly good for little kids because the slow cooking really mellows the flavours of the spices as well as making the lamb deliciously melt-in-the-mouth.

Mix all spices and the white vinegar in a mortar and pestle and bash all seeds until the mix resembles a paste.
Place lamb in a zip lock bag. Add the flour, seal the bag and shake until lamb is well-covered with flour.
Heat 1tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and then add lamb, brown in batches and transfer into slow cooker.
Keep the frying pan hot, add the other tablespoon of oil and soften the onions. Add the spice mixture and cook off all spices. Add evaporated coconut milk and simmer.

Canada should wake up to its UN advantage: Chapnick
Regardless of whether Stephen Harper speaks at UN General Assembly, Ottawa should do what it can to protect what integrity the UN has left.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Much will undoubtedly be made over the next week of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to once again forgo an opportunity to address the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on Canada's behalf.
UN critics will applaud the prime minister for not "wasting time" on a body that so regularly disappoints.
UN supporters will condemn him for snubbing an organization that for years has been critical to the development and implementation of Canadian foreign policy.
In both cases, their concerns will miss the point.
Critics of the UN regularly exaggerate its capacity to effect global change. The organization is limited by its structure – it can only be as effective as member states, in particular the great powers, allow it to be.
Nonetheless, respect for the UN's authority remains crucial to the stability of the international system – note, for instance, the Security Council's role in global efforts to rid Syria of chemical weapons – and supporting the legitimacy of the global governance regime is therefore consistent with the Canadian national interest.
As for the critics of Harper's decision, there is no genuine need for a Canadian prime minister to speak to the General Assembly directly. Even Brian Mulroney, so highly regarded in New York that he was informally recruited to become the next secretary general shortly before he retired from politics, regularly delegated this task to his foreign minister.
Significantly more important is whether Ottawa intends to revitalize its waning commitment to help sustain the current international order.
Last year, John Baird, who will once again represent Canada in New York, criticized the UN ruthlessly without offering any Canadian support to institute the reforms that he claimed were so badly needed.
Indeed, Canada has since withdrawn from a series of multilateral initiatives, including the Convention to Combat Desertification, further discrediting the organization as a whole, while also limiting its own voice at the international negotiating table.
The demise of the UN could only weaken Canada's relative influence in the world: it would be ludicrous to imagine that any replacement would provide three close Canadian allies with a veto over all matters of international security. It is therefore important that Ottawa does what it can when the meetings in New York are over to protect what integrity the organization has left.
Whether it is Baird or Prime Minister Harper who pledges Canada's renewed interest in the multilateral system, however, hardly matters.

By Dhruv Gupta, Director of Product Marketing at Perforce
This article was originally published on the Perforce Blog.
An interesting article came out recently, "Why Continuous Deployment may mean Continuous Disappointment for your Customers." It correctly identifies the human need for a shiny, new thing every so often. And it argues that the practice of continuous deployment could lead to disenchantment with incremental updates.
The article cites examples of companies whose customers were left disillusioned by incremental additions or subtractions to existing capability.
There are at least a couple of underlying issues to explore.
- What does it mean to continuously deliver? What are we delivering, to whom, and when?
- What are my customer's expectations? Are they being met?
First, it is important to understand that the "delivery" or "deployment" in continuous delivery doesn't necessarily imply delivery to the end customer. The bible on the subject, "Continuous Delivery" by Jez Humble and David Farley, suggests that continuous delivery simply implies maintaining a state of readiness. The state of readiness implies you did deliver an update to someone. It did go through quality control and stakeholder approvals. However, business gets to decide the what, the whom and the when. This works really well for verticals like cloud-based software, where you might want to deliver new functionality to a select group of customers to begin with, vet that functionality, and then roll out to a larger audience. Continuous delivery doesn't necessitate delivery of every update to the customer, the moment the code is deployed. In fact, you might deliver daily updates to only your product manager and QA team, and that is it. This distinction is subtle, but often overlooked, leading to confusion.
Second, most business-minded staff would agree that to grow brand appeal it helps to have big announcements at a regular cadence. Depending on the sector, the announcement could be yearly, or quarterly if you just have a primary product line, or at a higher frequency across several product lines. We have seen the likes of Apple announce a new phone, a new device, the one more thing, at least once a year. It builds a sense of mystique and excitement. People wouldn't wait in lines for a new version of a phone released every month. Building anticipation is essential if you want people to sit up and take notice. In other sectors, a constant stream of updates is more desirable. We see this phenomenon with mobile apps. No big announcements required — just updates. We are used to that. Major updates still come every so often.
This also brings to bear an important issue. Customers don't like big changes frequently. It takes time for us to get used to a new product. Some products come only at a considerable cost. A new update that arrives sooner than justified by the cost of acquisition can create a backlash. Release a new product too quickly on the heels of the last one—without advance notice—and you might cause angst in the customers who only recently bought the previous version. Loyal customers might feel burnt by the quick update. They might even abandon the brand altogether as a result of feeling the company is apathetic to them. This is especially the case with hardware products—cameras, computers and the like.
If practiced the right way, Continuous Delivery should allow marketers to balance the extremes. You can choose to release incremental updates as they become available to all customers. You can choose to limit major updates or new deliverables until you're convinced that they satisfy customer requirements, and go for the big launch. Either way, continuous delivery can help return control to the business.
That said, there is much to learn about the impact of Continuous Delivery on a business and its customers. With customers in many different verticals, we have a great vantage point to see how this practice evolves. Our data suggests there's a lot of movement to this practice. And we're excited to play an important role in the shift.
To learn more about Continuous Delivery, have a look at our CD Report.

No Butts About It: One Mom's Beach Clean-up Crusade
Here's a little gem for you today, sent over to us from our friend Sara Bayles at the Daily Ocean.
Inspired by Sara's beach clean-ups in Santa Monica, CA, mother of three Danielle R. started doing her own clean-ups in Wrightsville Beach, NC. She and her kids focus on collecting and counting the cigarette butts they find on the beach, and Destin Cretton created a short film about Danielle (and Sara). The film was chosen as a winner in the Brita FilterForGood Film Project, and will air on the Sundance Channel.
As you'll see when you watch it, it's astonishing just how many they find in a short amount of time. In just nine days, they collected almost 3,000 cigarette butts.
Watch the film, pass it on and check out Danielle's blog for even more inspiration. What might be your daily ritual for the oceans?

Another Marshall Allen interview, this one from Philly.com:
Herman "Sonny" Blount (1914-1993), the Afro-futurist jazz composer and bandleader who renamed himself Sun Ra after visiting Saturn in an interplanetary vision, would have turned 100 this year. To celebrate the centennial, Strut Records has released Marshall Allen Presents Sun Ra and His Arkestra: In the Orbit of Ra. This double-CD collection culls gems from a sprawling catalogue that takes in big-band swing, electronic noise, stride piano, and otherworldly doo-wop in one of the most astonishing oeuvres in 20th-century music.
