A：What was your wedding ceremony like, Abigail?蓋布莉加爾，你們的結(jié)婚典禮怎么樣?

B：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.我和我丈夫請(qǐng)了2個(gè)朋友做見證人，去婚姻注冊(cè)處注了冊(cè)?？墒?，接著我們要辦3場(chǎng)酒席。

A：Three parties? That's quite a lot. That must have been expensive!三場(chǎng)?太多了，一定要花很多錢!

B：Well, since my husband and I are from two different countries, and we live in a third country, we decided to have one in each country. It wasn't actually that expensive.嗯，因?yàn)槲液臀艺煞騺碜圆煌瑖?，而且我們又在第三個(gè)國家生活。所以，我們打算在每個(gè)國家請(qǐng)一次客。實(shí)際上花費(fèi)也不會(huì)太多。

A：Were your parents upset that they weren't there to see you get married?你們的父母沒能出席你們的婚禮，他們不會(huì)覺得有點(diǎn)失望嗎?

B：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.我其實(shí)很希望他們能來，但是他們負(fù)擔(dān)不了飛過來看我們的機(jī)票費(fèi)用，我們?nèi)タ此麄円餐瑯语w不起，所以我們就互相理解吧。

A：Did your husband's family get to meet your family?你公公婆婆和你父母見過面嗎?

B：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 wedding receptions, but we agreed that the wedding party should be less about money and more about family.我們?cè)谖壹亦l(xiāng)結(jié)婚的時(shí)候，我公公婆婆飛過來和我父母見了一面，非常愉快。有些人為了辦個(gè)豪華婚禮不惜一擲千金，可是我們還是覺得婚禮應(yīng)該多一點(diǎn)家庭的溫馨，少一點(diǎn)金錢的裝點(diǎn)。

A：That makes sense. Did you go on a honeymoon?有道理。你們?nèi)ザ让墼铝藛?

B：We waited until our one-year anniversary to go on our honeymoon to Africa.我們想結(jié)婚一周年的時(shí)候去非洲度蜜月。

A：You really didn't have a very traditional wedding, did you?你們的婚禮真的跟傳統(tǒng)式不沾邊，對(duì)吧?

B：Not at all, but we don’t have a very traditional marriage either, so it suited us perfectly!沒錯(cuò)，而且我們也不是普通的婚姻，所以，這種婚禮和我們正好相配。
