INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some enamel and acrylic paints will only need to dry for a long time in order for the paint to fully set. Leave them somewhere warm and dry for up to a week before using or displaying your painted glass. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines when curing the paint. Some paints that dry to be cured can only be washed by hand with soap and warm water. Some paints will require you to bake your glass to fully cure it and set the paint forever. Put your glass in the oven and set it to the temperature stated on your paint bottle. Let the glass cure for around 30 minutes, before turning the oven off and leaving it to cool before removing it. Always put your glass into and remove it from a cool oven. Suddenly changing the temperature of the glass can cause it to break.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Usually, if you book your tickets several months in advance, you can secure the best possible price for your trip. Planning ahead is especially important in the summer, when tourism in Santorini is at its height. So if you’re looking to travel in July or August, try to have your exact travel dates set in January or February. Sites like Expedia and Kayak gather fare information from a wide range of carriers. These sites help you shop for the best fares. If you want to travel with a specific airline, you can search for tickets on their website. Expect to pay somewhere between 30 and 150 euros for each ticket. The carriers that offer direct flights from Athens to Santorini are Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, Ryanair, and Volotea. If you’re traveling on a budget, make sure to check out the fares for Ryanair, as they usually have the cheapest tickets. Save the confirmation email you receive and print out a copy. It’s usually a good idea to have a paper copy of your ticket information, in case you need to show it to someone at the airport when you’re traveling. You can save a copy of this information on your phone, but make sure you’ll be able to access it when you’re traveling. If you don’t live in Greece or Europe, your phone may not have service while you’re in Athens, or it may be expensive to use. Most airlines allow you to check in online before your flight. Your airline will usually send you an email giving you the information about checking in online. If you can’t check in online, make sure you have your flight confirmation number so you can retrieve your boarding pass at the airport. When you’re traveling abroad, you need to have your passport with you every time you fly. Keep your passport somewhere that you can access it easily, as you will need to show it to airport security before getting on your flight. Public transportation is the most cost-effective option for getting to the airport. If you’re taking the metro, take line 3 and get off at the stop for the Athens International Airport. There are also four express buses that go to the airport: X93, X95, X96, and X97. If you have a lot of luggage, you may want to take a taxi.  Any licensed taxi driver in the city should be able to bring you to the airport without any trouble. Plan to arrive at the airport at least an hour and a half before your flight. If you didn’t check in online, retrieve your boarding pass at the airport. Then check any luggage you can’t bring on the plane. The attendants at your airline’s service desk should be able to help you with these tasks. Look at your boarding pass to find what gate your plane is leaving from, and head there after you pass through security.

SUMMARY: Set the dates you want to fly 3-6 months in advance. Research flights on travel websites. Print out and save copies of your ticket information. Get your boarding pass online or plan to get it at the airport. Pack your passport when going to the airport. Get to the Athens airport by metro, bus, or taxi. Wait for the plane at your gate.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your marriage, whether you have a wedding or elope, is a moment you and your spouse will want to look back on. Ask a professional to document your vow ceremony or the ring exchange. If you really want to keep the wedding intimate, ask a friend or family member to take photos. You can wear the traditional wedding dress or tux, or you could wear something fun that expresses your personality (like a button-down with suspenders, a frilly knee-length dress, or an outfit with personal meaning). Eloping doesn't have to mean jeans and a t-shirt at the city clerk's office. If you've chosen to elope, you might not be up for the usual reception party. Instead, treat a few friends to a party after the ceremony. You can make a small registry, or you can ask guests to just bring themselves. Order a wedding cake, pop open a few bottles of champagne, and relax at your own mini-reception. Alternatively, go to dinner with your loved ones at a fancy restaurant after the ceremony. After the ceremony and after-party, go on a romantic getaway with your new husband or wife. Because elopement is so inexpensive, you can use some of the money you might have spent on a really nice honeymoon. If you're under time or cost restraints, spend a weekend in a nearby bed-and-breakfast or plan a staycation.

SUMMARY: Hire a professional photographer or videographer. Wear whatever clothes make you feel happiest. Have an "I Do" party in lieu of a reception. Go on a honeymoon.
