  • As a young man looks on, a young girl poses with a Scottish piper in Gretna Green where Britain's wedding couples converge for a quickie marriage. Gretna Green is one of the world's most popular wedding destinations; hosting over 5000 weddings each year or one of every six Scottish weddings. Gretna's famous runaway marriages began in 1753 when an Act of Parliament, Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act, was passed in England, which stated that if both parties to a marriage were not at least 21 years old, then consent to the marriage had to be given by the parents. This Act did not apply in Scotland, where it was possible for boys to get married at 14 and girls at 12 years old with or without parental consent.

  • Daphene Louis, an accountant and her boyfriend Steve Babtiste  who works in  customer care at Digicel at the  Catrine -Flon Camp, Puit-Blain St, Delmar 75, Port Au Prince. "It was twenty-four hours after the quake before I saw my boyfriend. There were no communication networks and I had no way of knowing if he was dead or alive. When I saw him, I was so relieved I just jumped on him! Now we live in this camp under sheets held up with timber. It is very hard to get shelter from the sun,and when the rains come  there will be  no protection at all.  We need proper tents but even one month on we have been unable to get help. We have no privacy here, it's always noisy. We don't even have chance for a cuddle. It would be great to get a proper mattress, but we don't even have rice so that's not high up in our priorities."

  • A party girl walks past a fashion mannequin in a couture launch event. The full-size model seemingly looks down the back of the real woman who appears aloof but happy to be here among friends and work colleagues. The gathering is to celebrate the opening of the Voyage couture company's new store on the Fulham Road in a trendy area of Chelsea. The three girls are all beauties, seemingly keen to exchange gossip either about the industry in general or perhaps about mutual friends or boyfriends. It is dark and busy in this shop (store) in a very trendy locale of West London, where money is spent and the children of the social elite party and dance.
