【英语趣味课堂】婚礼的准备-Wedding Prep

Wendi: So, yeah, I wanna talk about wedding experiences and one of the best wedding.

 

Rachel: The best wedding I've ever gone to was probably my friend, well, OK, wait, hold on, pause it for a second.

 

Wendi: No worries because

 

Rachel: What is our scale of best? Like most fun? Most emotional?

 

Wendi: That's a good question. I guess what ever was the most kind of rewarding wedding you've ever attended. And I guess you have to chose that based on your scale.

 

Rachel: What are the questions going to be so I can think of how to break it down.

 

Wendi: Anything. It's totally random¹ usually.

 

Rachel: Oh, OK.

 

Wendi: It's totally random. And actually, it's even good for the listener's for the people that are going to be listening to hear you thinking in your mind, like, "Ah," I don't really know. Just total natural conversation.

 

Rachel: No cause like there are three weddings where I can think of: The Wiccan wedding. My friend Amanda's wedding which was just massive². There as like 13 bridesmaids and thirteen and the other one that was on a ship.

 

Wendi: Wow. Was it like on a cruise³ boat kind of thing, or?

 

Rachel: Not a cruise boat. It was a smaller kind of like sail boat, sailing around the Netherlands.

 

Wendi: That sounds crazy. Was it like a super quaint⁴ wedding kind of thing?

 

Rachel: No, it was kind of like a metal wedding.

 

Wendi: A metal wedding?

 

Rachel: Yeah.

 

Wendi: What do you mean?

 

Rachel: Well, it was a whole bunch of metal heads on a boat...

 

Wendi: Seriously?

 

Rachel: Eating vegetarian⁵ food.

 

Wendi: That sounds crazy.

 

Rachel: Yeah it was pretty brilliant.

 

Wendi: Wow. So out of all of the weddings you've been ever experienced in your whole life does anyone kind of ring out to you at all as that's the wedding I want to have.

 

Rachel: No.

 

Wendi: No.

 

Rachel: First off, I think I would elope.

 

Wendi: OK.

 

Rachel: And then just throw kind of like big parties all over the world because I have a feeling that my wedding would pretty much be international.

 

Wendi: Right.

 

Rachel: I think that, well the ceremony, I don't even know what kind of a traditional per se ceremony that I would want.

 

Wendi: Yeah.

 

Rachel: Yeah, I think I'd rather it just be a private more intimate thing between me and whoever I'd be marrying.

 

Wendi: Right.

 

Rachel: And then just have a party for everybody to celebrate it with.
