ark smoke http://www.mermaid-bride.com/special-occasion-dresses-3-1.html , and you kept hearing the sirens of the fire trucks in the background.So we were thinking that at any minute they’d have things under control.It wasn’t until we had another knock on the door and the police were there to evacuate us that we went: Uh-oh.Q: Where was the groom?A: Getting the reception room ready.It was at the back of the main lodge, with gorgeous ocean views.Everything was in black linens, with pink runners.Our menu was supposed to be a buffet dinner with smoked mackerel, mussels, three bean salad, pasta salad and then, for the main course, planked salmon, roast beef, garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables.The wedding cake was a gorgeous dark pink, light pink and white cake.I’d only peeked at it under the corner of the box, so I hadn’t had a good look.Q: Everything was ready.A: I am a details person, and all of it was lost.But the staff at White Point, I haven’t been able to say enough about how good they were to us.They moved us to Lakeside Hall, on the other side of the resort.They made our wedding happen.Q: It might be the one wedding where you should have prayed for rain?A: Our wedding photographer had been teasing us for weeks that he had never shot a wedding where it rained.Don’t you wish it was raining?Q: There is a wedding photo with the happy couple in the foreground and the fire in the background.Will that end up in a drawer or on the mantelpiece?A: We will display it.We have some very unusual pictures.At one point the cops were wandering around and they said they had the perfect photo.and gave Michael a baton.Q: That’s a little racy.A: No matter how the day turned out we just wanted to embrace it all.We’ve also got a picture of us beside a lake, on a beautiful wooden bench, and a picture of us in front of a fire truck.By Bob ThompsonIt’s Twilight’s last gleaming, but what a way to glow.It opens to a great deal of anticipation Nov.with Part 2 following next November.It is Part 1 that contains the edginess, however, as all Twihards know: Robert Pattinson’s vampire Edward marries Kristen Stewart’s Bella, then, in rapid succession http://www.mermaid-bride.com/wedding-party-dresses-2-1.html , they have a honeymoon, a near-death birthing experience and a baby infatuated with Taylor Lautner’s Jacob.Pattinson, Stewart, Lautner, Condon and Meyer gathered recently at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel to discuss the latest effort.Breaking Dawn was the most difficult to transform to the big screen while avoiding an R-rating.Even the author admits the book has some strange moments.I’m not going to say Breaking Dawn doesn’t get weird;says Meyer, who has kept a low profile since the first Twilight hit theatres in 2008.have to familiarize himself with the Twilight world, he had to stay true to the fan base while maintaining the novel’s integrity.recalls of their two-week pre-filming preparation.He was absolutely amazing, and always talking to us all the time.I trusted him completely.It was really special, and now seeing the movie, I’m really happy, because Jacob starts here and he ends here.It’s just very exciting to see him in a completely different light than before.Jacob continues to be obsessed with Bella, just as he has been since the first Twilight.a smiling Lautner says.Bella’s married now.She’s on her honeymoon.It’s about time to move on.Pattinson says of the birthing sequence.It was terrifying, going into it, but it ended up being one of the most incredible scenes to do in this movie.Condon thought so, too, but avoided the jarring portions by filming it from Bella’s perspective, which heightened the tension without getting specific.We are only going to see what she is going to see.The wedding sequence is intended to be more playful.Still, Stewart says she got caught up in over-thinking the scene.says of filming the wedding.Actually have this experience, because you’re just about to ruin it.One face in the wedding scene happens to be the very shy Twilight author Meyer, who was persuaded to do a cameo.In fact, she was on set, off-camera http://www.mermaid-bride.com/weddings-1-1.html , for most of Breaking Dawn’s filming.She didn’t travel to Brazil, where the honeymoon was filmed, but did make it to most of the North American shoot: five months in Baton Rouge, La.for interiors, and two months in the Vancouver area for the exteriors.Most of Part 1 was also filmed out of sequence, which meant Stewart had the difficult task of being Bella in various stages of her life, one wildly different from the other.Everything felt more important and more relevant to me.The end of an incredibly popular film series hasn’t quite hit the three headliners, nor the author who created the characters.Meyer explains, referring to Part 2.As it is, there are rumours Meyer might write a post-Breaking Dawn novel, or release the unpublished Midnight Sun book, which is a version of the first Twilight narrative told through the eyes of Edward.Meyer says of writing another book.People ask all the time.There are pieces in my computer.Sometimes you want to get into a new world.characters are always going to be alive for me.Encyclopedia GothicaBy Liisa LadouceurECW Press336 pp;Reviewed by Tristin HopperAs Gothic tribes hacked and bludgeoned their way through the decaying remnants of the Roman Empire during the fourth century, they could hardly have imagined how little they would have in common with their modern namesakes.Far from Germanic warriors, the Goths of today have nurtured a reputation as one of the most explicitly weird subcultures in North America.Black-cloaked and moonboot-clad, they see the Addams Family as a style guide and have adopted Vincent Price and Bettie Page as unwitting prophets.However, while Goths may have been able to keep their lifestyles mysterious for a few years, nowadays they have become a full-fledged consumer segment.Hot Topic, a retailer of Goth-themed clothing and accessories, has more than 600 locations in the United States and Canada.Fashion labels, publishers and record labels specializing in Goth now number into the dozens.There’s even Bats Day, the (unsanctioned).
