You probably do, and if you haven't yet, you will. Recent studies have shown that people your age make up a major part of the folks who buy things through the Internet. In fact, the number of people who bought things online last year was 22% more than in 2003.

Eventually, everybody will have bought something online!

A Hindu Ceremony

Xwhydivax shares the Hindu spirit!!

As I read a while ago in the Whyville Times, the Times Editor is getting married! He said that it was "a groovy Hindu ceremony" and that if anyone wanted to submit an article on weddings, they could do so. So, I decided to write one.

My friend at school is Hindu, and I have also been to many Hindu weddings since my mum's friend is Hindu.

A Christian wedding is quite different from a Hindu wedding in many ways. In my opinion, I think Hindu weddings are much more colorful, and have a great atmosphere. There are always lots of music, people and decorations around the time. And the food is great!

Long ago in the Hindu society, the parents of children would match up their child with a suitable husband or wife. Arranged marriages of this sort are still somewhat popular now, though in many cases the children have varying degrees of input in who they'll marry in the end.

The weddings have changed from time to time, but I am going to explain one that I went to last year. This wedding took place in London, England.
