They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand. The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly. As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.  * * * * When in doubt, just take the next small step.    All About June Brides   Historically, many people married in the month of June to honor Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Others did it to time conception so child births wouldn't interfere with harvest work. Brides in the 15th century chose to marry in June because it coincided with their "annual bath" -- yes, you read that right -- thus ensuring a relatively sweet-smelling honeymoon. Today, many young people marry in June because it is the month of graduation from high school or college. Regardless, people love to refer to the "Lovely June Bride." There are more marriages in June than any other month.   In Roman mythology, Juno was an ancient Roman goddess. Queen of the gods, she was Jupiter's daughter. She was also his sister and his wife. She was the protector of women. The month of June is named after her. Juno was the protector and special counselor of the state. Closely associated with soldiers and the military, she often appeared sitting pictured with a peacock, armed and wearing a goatskin cloak. Through her association with the moon she governed feminine functions such as the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. As the goddess of marriage, she was sometimes called Cinxia (which means "she who loosens the bride's girdle"). The Pearl Is The June Birth Stone -- in spite of the fact that a lot of diamonds are given to brides. _______________________________________   Once In A Blue Moon This year the full June Moon will be visible June 2nd - 6th. When a month has two full moons, the second full moon is called a blue moon. It isn't really blue in color. The definition of a Blue Moon is simple: it is a full moon that rises twice in one month. It is said that blue moons happen every 33 months (about every 3 years). There will be no blue moons in 2012. Because of these rare occurrences, the saying "once in a blue moon" is common, meaning "not very often." ____________________________________________ Gems N' Loans The Upscale Place To Shop For Genuine Bargains of Quality And Turn Your "Spare" Items Into Cold Hard Cash Whether you want to sell or swap your seldom-worn jewelry, or you want to acquire some jewelry at a price far below mall store prices, you can find tremendous values in top quality jewelry you will be proud to wear anywhere.
