...subtle art of cutting, draping, pinning and pleating, and what it can do for a postpartum figure. When Jayne walked down the aisle of a New Zealand church three fittings and a 12-hour flight later, there was no trace of the frazzled new mother in the gorgeously gowned bride. Even better, her custom-made dress set her back just $480, about half the cost of having a similar dress made in New Zealand...
...attract plenty of couples, but for larger weddings - 150 guests is about as big as destination weddings get - couples are more likely to remain closer to home. "It's less a case of getting married on a beach in the Caribbean these days," says Vikki Berg, travel editor at Brides magazine in the U.K. "People prefer to go off to a villa in Italy instead."

The inspiration for the turbines came on a calm day in 1997 when Richard Ayre, managing director of THG, was working for the marine national park in St. Bride's Bay, Pembrokeshire. Trying to place buoys in the water, he realized the current was dragging the boat sideways. "The energy here is absolutely astronomical," thought Ayre, who started wondering how to generate power from it without damaging the bay's pristine environment. He came up with the answer...
...notebook, witness to three weeks of chanting and marching and late-night vigils among banners and sleeping bags. In my time as a reporter for The Crimson, I have eaten lentil soup at Café Algiers with the Square’s living statue “The Bride,” seen the Rocky Horror Picture show, documented the quiet closing of countless stores. I watched women get injected with Botox at a swank Newbury Street clinic for my thesis, and have seen the sun rise while walking back from 14 Plympton St. to Eliot House...
