我还是喜欢传统的仪式
A young couple met with their pastor 1 to set a date for their wedding. When he asked whether they preferred a contemporary or a traditional service, they opted 2 for the contemporary. On the big day, a major storm forced the groom 3 to take an alternate route to the church. The streets were flooded, so he rolled up his pant legs to keep his trousers dry. When he finally reached the church, his best man rushed him into the sanctuary 4 and up to the altar, just as the ceremony was starting. "Pull down your pants, whispered the pastor. "Uh, Reverend, I've changed my mind," the groom responded. "I think I would prefer the traditional service."
