An Extra Day for a Proposal!

Leap Years are needed to keep our modern day Gregorian Calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242199 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds – to circle once around the Sun. This is called a tropical year.

However, the Gregorian calendar has only 365 days in a year, so if we didn’t add a day on February 29 nearly every 4 years, we would lose almost six hours off our calendar every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days!

According to an old Irish legend, or possibly history, St Brigid

struck a deal with St Patrick to allow women to propose to men – and not just the other way around – every four years. This is believed to have been introduced to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how Leap Day balances the calendar.

Weddings BURR BRIDAL

Burr Bridal, based in the centre of Cambridge on King Street, is in its third year but the owner Kim Burr has been in the bridal industry for many years. Originally Kim was based in London as a photographic stylist working on the interior home pages of magazines. After relocating to Royston originally and starting her family, she then moved to Bassingbourn and a fluke meeting with Karen Forte began her journey into the fashion and bridal industry.

Business Profile

After many happy years at Karen’s, Kim branched out and opened bridal shops settling on her ultimate goal - Cambridge. Burr Bridal has bridal, bridesmaids, mother of the bride/groom outfits, and also a men’s hire department called The Stag Room, they also hold a range of Prom and evening wear - pretty much everything for the bridal party really, plus full seamstress alteration facility.

Customers are not always local girls, the location in Cambridge there are a huge amount of customers who are working or studying, and Kim has recently had two brides visited us from abroad specifically to buy a dress, one from Switzerland and another from Norway.

Burr Bridal has recently won an award for excellent Customer Service from The Cambridge Bid, and has also just been nominated for another service award from The Cambridge

News Business Excellence Awards.

Kim is rightly very proud that such a new business has been so successful.

Burr Bridal holds Designer Weekends throughout the year. The next event on 9th & 10th April showcasing Sophia Tolli Bridal with a preview of the newest collection and 10% discount on orders and accessories for the weekend.

Both events will be held at the shop. Please call to book your appointment.

Weddings Choosing & planning your first dance…

Congratulations on your engagement!

Now the planning begins!

Perhaps you already love a special song with which you’d like to start your marriage; but if you’re not sure which to choose, I can help inspire you.

Do you and your fiancé have an ‘Our Song’?

That song which makes you both burst into song whenever it comes on the radio? Choose that, nothing else will quite be as special to you.

Otherwise…

Do you and your fiancé have a favourite artist?

Perhaps you’ve been to a special gig together which holds lovely memories for you both. Go through the singer’s back catalogue and see if you can find a song which matches how you feel for each other.

consider how the Bride’s dress might limit her movement. Also, don’t forget that, just like that dance legend Ginger Rogers, the Bride will do everything the Groom does but “backwards and in high heels”. So choose a song that she can dance to comfortably!

Above all, choose a song that you both love and will want to dance to again and again. Make it the song that you have at your Golden Wedding Anniversary!

Worried about being the centre of attention?

It’s your wedding day! You’re supposed to be the focus of the room! Don’t be afraid of having all the eyes in the room on you. Everybody that you’ve invited to your big day loves you and wants you to have a lovely time. They are not your ‘audience’, they are your family and friends. Be encouraged by their love and

support for you. They’ll think you both look wonderful, I promise!

I can help create, with the happy couple, a dance that suits their personality, confidence and dance ability.

No previous dance skills are required, and lessons can be held locally or at a location of your choice.

Contact Naomi to discuss how you can begin to create a lovely surprise for your family and friends, and step out in style!

Or a favourite film? Did you go to the pictures on your first date? Check out the film soundtrack for inspirational tunes.

Still wondering..?

You need to consider…

Your confidence with dancing? Do you think you’d like a song with a gentle pace that you can sway to, or maybe you’re feeling more brave and would like something faster…

What’s your relationship’s ‘personality’? Are you the couple that’s always the life and soul of the party? Then maybe you should choose a song that you can really wow your guests with.

Funny, romantic, outrageous? You choose!

And finally, think about The Dress. Too many couples prepare their dance and never

The year of the Monkey - 8th February The Monkey is the 9th of the 12 positions on the Chinese Zodiac, the Monkey exhibits curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness. Forever playful, Monkeys are the masters of practical jokes. Even though their intentions are always good, this desire to be a prankster has a tendency to create ill will and hurt feelings.

Although they are inherently intellectual and creative, Monkeys at times have trouble exhibiting these qualities.

When that happens, they appear to others to be

confused. But nothing could be further from the truth as Monkeys thrive on being challenged.

Monkeys prefer urban life to rural, and their favourite pastime is people-watching.

Monkey’s lucky numbers are 1,7 & 8 and their ower is the chrysanthemum. White, gold and blue are lucky colours.
