World's Most Expensive Weddings

An interesting forward from my dear friend Fahad.

Weddings aren't cheap. The average American wedding costs about $30,000. What if you could afford to spend that much (or more) on your wedding dress alone? Or spend $1.5 million just on wine for your reception? For some, money is no object. They can, and will, spend upwards of millions of dollars to show their love for their betrothed to the entire world. Below are some of the most expensive weddings ever recorded. Some of these became more costly, as they didn't survive very far past the nuptials, ending in divorce just a short time later. In those cases, the wedding ended up costing at least one party much more than the stated price tag.


Donald Trump and Melania Knauss

January 22, 2005
Cost: $1 million
Although it costs just a measly million dollars, the Palm Beach wedding of Donald Trump and Melania Knauss in 2005 was quite an opulent affair. The Grand Mariner cake weighed 200 lbs (!); and the bride's Dior dress cost $200,000 with a 13-foot train, 1500 rhinestones and pearls, and weighing 60 lbs. Performances by Tony Bennett and Billy Joel entertained the guests, consisting of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Shaquille O'Neal and Rudy Giulaini. So far, this one has lasted, not costing the Donald more in the long run like many of his prior marriages.








Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

November 18, 2006
Cost: $2 million
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' 2006 wedding at Italy?s 15th-century Odescalchi Castle was another spectacle of extravagance, to the tune of $2 million. The bridal party attire was designed by Giorgio Armani. Andrea Boccelli performed at the ceremony. And getting married at a castle, for God's sake ? makes your own fire hall reception seem a bit drab, doesn't it? The TomKat wedding ranks on Forbes' list of the most expensive, lavish weddings of any celebrity (or of anyone, for that matter).

The Right Way of Eating Fruits

A very useful information, this is a mail forward sent by a friend, but actually it is a conversation between a doctor and a patient.

Eating Fruit - this opened my eyes.

Dr Stephen Mak is a friend of mine at the BSF course. 

He told me he treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered.

 He explains to me before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. 

 He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.

Dear Shereen, 

Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer.

 As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%.

Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found.

It is whether you believe it or not.

 I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments. 

Thanks and ALLAH bless you. 

Dr Stephen Mak

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?
