Wendi: Talk about the best wedding you've ever been to and if you can kind of think about what it was and and what the atmosphere was like when you walked in.
 
James: OK, the actual wedding ceremony?
 
Wendi: Yeah, sure.
 
James: OK.
 
Wendi: Tell me about it.
 
James: Now?
 
Wendi: Yeah.
 
James: My sister's wedding. It was in a small village church near her house. I was giving her away, so it was wonderful. We walked into the church, and I led her down the aisle 1 and they were listening to, they didn't have traditional music. They had Beattles music playing.
 
Wendi: Really.
 
James: And it was really beautiful and yeah, it was an amazing wedding.
 
Wendi: Yeah.
 
Pause 1
 
James: She looked absolutely stunning 2 and my family were there, just close friends of my sister and then after the wedding they had the reception at my sister's back garden.
 
Wendi: Right.
 
James: And it was just wonderful.
 
Wendi: That sounds really beautiful.
 
James: No fuss, just really easy. Just a big family gathering 3 and it was really, really a lovely day. It rained all day as well.
 
Wendi: Did it really?
 
James: And it made no difference whatsoever 4.
 
Wendi: Wow, that sounds pretty special.
 
James: Yeah, the next-door neighbors did all the food and they were caterers so the food was magnificent.
 
Wendi: Wow.
 
James: It was special because of the atmosphere rather than anything else? It didn't cost much money, but it was just perfect.
 
Wendi: That sounds beautiful.
 
Pause 2
 
Wendi: So what was it like to give away your sister, like do you feel that as being a big responsibility.
 
James: Yeah, I was really ch**ffed when she asked me. It really, really meant a lot so, cause she had a difficult decision to choose who to give her away, so yeah it was a really big, yeah, it was a real big honor to do. And, it's an easy thing to do. You walk down the aisle and you sit down and that's it.
 
Pause 3
 
Wendi: What's your best kind of memory from that whole wedding - that whole experience?
 
James: Ah, seeing my sister in her wedding dress, that morning. She just looked so beautiful.
 
Wendi: Yeah.
 
James: And also seeing how nervous my brother-in-law was before the wedding in the pub. He was so nervous and it was really sweet and also because it's a village and she's a hairdresser, all the old ladies had come and stood outside the church to have a look at her.
 
Wendi: Oh, that's so awesome 5.
 
James: And to wish her luck on the way in.
 
Wendi: That's really cool
 
James: Cause it was only for family, really and they'd all come to see her in bride's gown.
 
Wendi: Oh that sounds really special.
