Made by Beqster

 

Helen Dews was born in Birmingham, England. She trained as a dancer with Maureen Smith, and went on to dance throughout the UK with the successful group "Impact." In addition to graduating from Birmingham University, in Textile Design, Helen undertook a summer season at Blackpool's world famous "Pleasure Beach."

In 2001 Belle joined the production team aboard Sun Cruises' Seawing and cruised the Eastern Mediterranean. Every 14 days, she would sail through the Dardanelles and pass the ancient site of Troy.

It was aboard this likkle ship, that she and Beqster met. The airy elements of the Libran Belle and Geminian Beqster proved to be a sure-fire success and they soon whipped up an effervescent froth of happiness and excitement. That summer Venus and Mercury entwined two souls in the blink of an eye.

Belle returned to the Seawing in 2002, as Head Dancer, and enjoyed a winter season in the Far East; travelling to India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. In the autumn of that year, Beqster and Belle went on a whirlwind tour of West Coast USA, visiting Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Seattle.

In 2003, Belle joined Princess Cruises and cruised Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Panama Canal. She missed her family, but was most upset about missing the birth of her nephews, Carter and Taylor. Mum, Dad and sister Debs sailed onboard the Sun Princess in the Caribbean, whilst Beqster joined Belle for cruises in Alaska, Hawaii and the Caribbean. During Helen's final contract, with an audience of 700 passengers, Beqster bent down on one knee and proposed marriage!

With wedding bells in the air, Belle headed back to the UK in February 2005 and embarked on a new career in Teaching. In her hometown of Birmingham, she spent a year as a learning support officer and made plans for the wedding.

Belle and Beqster were married on 3 September 2006 at Coughton Court, and immediately after the honeymoon, Belle moved to London and began her studies at Roehampton University to become a teacher. Belle passed her exams with flying colours and began working in London as a newly qualified teacher in August, 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helen of Troia, in Greek mythology, was the most beautiful woman in Greece. She was the daughter of Zeus. When she was a child, she was abducted by the hero Theseus, who hoped in time to marry her, but she was rescued by her brothers. Later, her fatal beauty was the direct cause of the Trojan War.

The story of the ten-year conflict began when the three goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite asked the Trojan prince Paris to choose the most beautiful among them. After each of the goddesses had attempted to influence his decision, Paris awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite, who had promised him the love of a woman of surpassing beauty.

Soon afterwards Paris sailed to Greece, where he was hospitably received by Helen and her husband, Menelaus, king of Sparta. Unfortunately, Helen, as the fairest of her sex, was the prize destined for Paris. Although she was living happily with Menelaus, she fell under the influence of Aphrodite and allowed Paris to persuade her to elope with him, and he carried her off to Troy.

 

 

 

 

As Psyche, the most beautiful of mortals, sleeps among the flowers, she dreams of beholding the perfect face of Eros, her lover. Having found true love in each other, they float down the river of life, forever.
