West Virginia case could have implications in our judge elections

View the original

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in a case that could change how Washington elects judges – especially those for the state supreme court.

The case – Caperton v. Massey – is summarized in this Washington Post article. It involves the owner of a big coal mine in West Virginia who was sued by the owner of a small coal mine for driving him out of business. The little guy won initially but lost in a narrow state supreme court ruling.

In between the lower-court ruling and the supreme court ruling, however, was a campaign that saw an incumbent defeated with the help of $3 million from the owner of the big coal mine.

Tips to Having an Inexpensive Wedding
Now don't think just because your wedding is cheap it has to look cheap! My weddings total

cost including my women's dresses was about

$350.00. It was beautiful and I would not change anything about it even after looking back

13 years.
Here are a few tips you could use to help keep your wedding at a low price!

Bridesmaid Dress - really consider asking

family or friends if they know how to sew. This option gives you and your bridesmaids the

option of helping choose the style of their Bridesmaid Dress

and the fabric. Also try going to consignment stores where they have many Prom Dresses or

formal gowns to choose from at a very low price!

Wedding Gown - This was my favorite find! My cousin happens to be a model and she had

modeled a Wedding Dresses one evening and she

was able to keep the Wedding Dresses. She gave

it to me for FREE! Ask around and see if anyone is not interested in their old Informal Wedding

Dress, some women do not care to keep it and you can easily get it altered and made just

the way you like!

Tuxes - We found just looking around the area and finding the best deal on tuxes was our

only choice. This ended up being where most of our money went to. But always look around and

find the best deals!

Rings - We choose to pick inexpensive wedding bands that matched which was relatively cheap

and well my engagement ring was another story. He choose it and it meant a lot that picked

something special.

Invitations - If you don't find someone(friend or family) with a computer. In Microsoft Word

they give you an option of invitation templates to choose from. This is fun and you can make

it with your own special touches. You can choose more expensive paper or cheap paper but the

cost is so much less than having a printing company do it!

Place of ceremony - This is one of my favorite finds....We choose a restaurant that I had

grown up going to and the owners were friends of the family. It was a chicken restaurant,

sounds a little out there but it is a gorgeous little building and hardwood floors and

pillars all through out. Since we got married during winter they had already decorated the

inside with white lights and garland. It was perfect. Never throw out the ordinary places.

Place of reception - Just don't have one. We spent some time eating the cake with friends

and family but to be honest we wanted to get out of there and be alone!

Cake - Remember it is just a cake. All of it gets eaten. We choose a women who made cakes in

our community, not real expensive and it tasted great. Another option is asking if anyone

you know makes cakes and maybe they will even make it as a gift for you at no cost!

Music - We had a lot of people we know that can sing and were excited and happy to have them

sing in our wedding. They of course did it for free.

Food - Again ask the people around you to cook up a few dishes and have a day where you sit

down with them and talk about some things you would like on the menu.

Getting married is beautiful and a memorable event and of course should be special and look

special but don't forget that it is all about you and your spouse making a commitment to be

together forever. It is about you and your spouse making those vows and promising the rest

of your lives to one another. The cake well it will be gone in a flash but you two will

begin your new adventure together for the rest of your lives!
