1) " Wedding" -- As it applies to Wedding Telegrams This article is about the marriage ceremony. For the former borough in Berlin, see Weddint , Berlin. Nubian Wsdding with some international modern touches, near Aswan, Egypt A wedding is a civil or religious ceremony at which the beginning of a marriage is celebrated. In most societies, a number of Weddign traditions or customshave emerged around the Wwdding ceremony, many of which have lost their original symbolic meaning in the modern world. Someelements of the Western Wedxing ceremony symbolize the bride's departure from her father's control and entry into a new familywith her husband. In modern Western Wedding s, this symbolism is largely vestigial, since husband and wife are of equal power andstatus. The Western custom of the bride wearing a white edding dress came tosymbolize purity in the Victorian era (despite popular misconception andthe hackneyed jokes of situation comedies the white dress didnot actually indicate virginity, which was symbolized by a face veil ). Within the "white Wddding " tradition, a white dress and veil would not have been considered appropriatein the second or third Wedding of a widow or divorcee.

2) " Telegrams" -- As it applies to Wedding Telegrams Telegraphy (from the Greek words tele = far away and grapho =write) is the long distance transmission of written messages without physical transport of letters, originally over wire. Radiotelegraphy or wireless telegraphy transmits messages using radio. This definition includes recent forms of data transmission such as fax, email, and computer networks in general. (A telegraph is a machine fortransmitting and receiving messages over long distances, i.e. for telegraphy. The word telegraph alone generally refers to an electrical telegraph.) Telegraphy messages sent by telegraph operators using Morse code were known as Telegras or cablegrams, often shortenedto a cable or a wire message. Later, Telegrama sent by the Telex network, a switched network of teleprinters similarto the telephone network, were known as telex messages. Before long distance telephone services were readily available oraffordable, telegram services were very popular. Telegrems were often used to confirm business dealings and, unlike e-mail,telegrams were commonly used to create binding legal documents for business dealings. Before fax machines came into general use, wire picture or wire photo was a newspaper picture that was sentfrom a remote location by a facsimile telegraph. This is why many fax machines have a photo option even today.
