WEDDING MISTAKES YOU SHOULDN’T MAKE

A wedding is a once in a lifetime event; so, it’s
good to have everything in order so you would
enjoy the memories that follow.
There are some wedding mistakes that you
should be wary of.
1. CHOOSING A FRIEND OVER A PRO
This is a common wedding day mistake that many
people make. You might have a friend who’s a DJ,
a photographer or a caterer. Because they are
your friends, you would be tempted to choose
them. However, this doesn’t go down well in
many cases. So many friends become so
unprofessional about their services, and there is
nothing you could do about it at that time.
2. SPENDING THE MONEY BUDGETED FOR
FASHION ON JUST THE DRESS
This is a common wedding mistake women make.
It’s good to have a budget for your wedding; this
keeps you in check. If you have money budgeted
for fashion, don’t get tempted to spend the
money on just your wedding dress alone.
Remember that there is also makeup, your hair,
accessories and shoes to contend with.
3. NOT HIRING A VIDEOGRAPHER
Photos are good but you would want that day to
be saved in video too. There are a lot of things
you would miss during your wedding, and
playing it over again on video would save you
special memories. If you can afford this, then
don’t leave it out.
4. STARTING YOUR MAKEUP LATE
Makeup takes time, and when it’s on your ‘D day’,
it takes more time. Starting your make-up late
could make you behind schedule for your
wedding, and you might end up rushing things.
This is a common mistake you should avoid.
5. SENDING OUT CARDS BEFORE PLANNING
Don’t be in a hurry to tell everyone about your
wedding or start giving out cards for your
wedding without planning on the kind of wedding
you want, the hall to be used and the number of
guests that you should invite.
Avoid these common wedding day mistakes and
enjoy the time of your life.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
