时间：2018-11-30 作者：英语课 分类：生活英语情景口语
J: what was your wedding ceremony like, Abigail?
A: my husband and I got married in a registry office with just two friends there as witnesses. But then we had three parties to celebrate.
J: three parties? That's quite a lot. That must have been expensive!
A: well, since my husband and I are from two different countries, and we live in a third country, we decided 1 to have one in each country. It wasn't actually that expensive.
J: were your parents upset that they weren't there to see you get married?
A: I would have liked them to be there, but they couldn’t afford to fly out to see us, and we couldn't afford to fly out to see them, so they understood.
J: did your husband's family get to meet your family?
A: my husband's parents flew out to meet my family when we got married in my hometown, so that was great. Some people spend ridiculous amounts of money on extravagant 2 wedding receptions, but we agreed that the wedding party should be less about money and more about family.
J: that makes sense. Did you go on a honeymoon 3?
A: we waited until our one-year anniversary to go on our honeymoon to Africa.
J: you really didn't have a very traditional wedding, did you?
A: not at all, but we don’t have a very traditional marriage either, so it suited us perfectly 4!
盖布莉加尔，你们的结婚典礼怎么样？
我和我丈夫请了2戈朋友做见证人，去婚姻注册处注了册。可是，接着我们要办3场酒席。
三场？太多了，一定要花很多钱！
嗯，因为我和我丈夫来自不同国家，而且我们又在第三个国家生活。所以，我们打算在每个国家请一次客。实际上花费也不会太多。
你们的父母没能出席你们的婚礼，他们不会觉得有点失望吗？
我其实很希望他们能来，但是他们负担不了飞过来看我们的机票费用，我们去看他们也同样飞不起，所以我们就互相理解吧。
你公公婆婆和你父母见过面吗？
我们在我家乡结婚的时候，我公公婆婆飞过来和我父母见了一面，非常愉快。有些人为了办个豪华婚礼不惜一掷千金，可是我们还是觉得婚礼应该多一点家庭的温馨，少一点金钱的装点。
有道理。你们去度蜜月了吗？
我们想结婚一周年的时候去非洲度蜜月。
你们的婚礼真的跟传统式不沾边，对吧？
没错，而且我们也不是普通的婚姻，所以，这种婚礼和我们正好相配。
