Couple in UK`s first scientology church wedding


Couple in UK’s first Scientology church wedding

A couple have made history by becoming the first to marry in a Church of Scientology chapel, five years after they brought a legal case to have their religious rights recognised.
Newlyweds Alessandro Calcioli and Louisa Hodkin, both 25, described their marriage as a "momentous" victory against "inequality and unfairness" as they posed for photographs outside a Scientology church in London, surrounded by confetti and bridesmaids.
"It has been a long, five-year battle to achieve a simple freedom – the right to marry in our own church with a service in accordance with the rites and customs of our religion and surrounded by our friends and family," the couple said. "All weddings should be magical and momentous for the couple concerned, but we are conscious that ours, as the first for our religion in England, has its own place in history."
The newlyweds, both from East Grinstead, West Sussex, took their fight to the supreme court after officials refused to register the Scientology chapel in the City of London as a place of marriage.
Five supreme court justices ruled in December that the Church of Scientology was a "place of meeting for religious worship" and that a 1970 ruling that religious worship involved a supreme being was out of date.
On their website, the couple describe how they had been friends since they were infants, but grew closer when they started volunteering at the Church of Scientology in London after leaving school. The pair shared their first kiss on Hodkin's 18th birthday.
A Church of Scientology spokesman said it was a "historic day for religious equality and freedom for all in the UK". He added: "They have paved the way for other Scientologist couples. We extend our congratulations to the happy couple and wish them well in their future life together."

Interesting story

Baby birds in box
Start with the pots. This pots won't break. They're a good warm-up.

Get as many boxes as you need and never force anything inside. If it doesn't fit comfortably, it doesn't fit. You break something you have to buy it. you signed the same contract i did. I heard about this one girl who broke a vase that cost fifteen thousand dollars. She had to drop out of school.

I don't know if it's really true.But it's the policy, so.

You wrap the pots in this brown paper, same as everything. It doesn't matter that the pots aren't going to break. This is what they pay us for. To wrap everything in brown, like the most boring Christmas presents ever.
And you wad up more paper to stuff the open spaces, so nothing can shake around on the truck. The loading boys drive like they're losing a race.

You can't listen to music. Not while you're working. It doesn't matter that it's so quiet or that there's no one to talk to. They want you to hear if the client says something. Clients hate to see us listening to music, in general.

And turn off your phone! If they hear your phone even if you don`t answer it, they get mad.

The client will need you for something, i don't know for what. They're paying for care. Think of it like that. We care for their things, we care for them. If we could wrap them in brown and stow them away, we would. And they would tip us huge.

Just look at this place.

Never say stuff like that, "Just look at this place." Not to the loading boys and never, ever the client. they don't want to hear us gawking. And who knows why they're leaving? The money's all gone. Somebody had an affair. A kid died.

After the pots, the silverware. You wrap each fork, knife, and spoon separetely. You can't use enough brown paper.

Everything until now was just to clear the way for all the glass. People in houses like these love glass. they have tons of it. They don`t even call it glass. the call it crystal.

You take the glass one piece at a timr. both hands, ten fingers. Don't hold the glass up in the air any longer than you have to. Get it on the table or the floor as fast as you can, and wrap it thick in brown.

Think of tucking in baby birds. That's all you're doing

Maybe it isn't interesting story but you should write a comment :) thanks
