Task:

Describe a wedding you attended

You should say:

whose wedding it was

who was there

where it was

and explain how you felt at this wedding.

Sample answer：

One of my cousins got married and had a magnificent(华丽的) celebration. Nearly 100 hundred relatives and friends attended it and I was there all along the way.

There are many steps to follow during a typical Chinese wedding, like both families cover any manholes, drains or wells nearby the houses with red paper as a local tradition. But I always find most interesting the part of how the groom win his way to his lover.

The wedding ceremony was on the national day last year.Around 9 am, we, as the groom family, set a fleet of cars towards the bride house. When we arrive at the brides house, the groom, along with his parents, cousins, aunts and uncles, went to the brides door. The groom knocked the door several times, calling out for his wife, but the bride's mother won’t not open it until the groom calls, "Mama" and paid the bride's mother some money.

Even then, the bride remained locked in her room with the bride's maids. The maids demanded the groom proved his love before they would open the door. This included singing correctly some ordered romantic songs, and some were tricky. My cousin was not a pop song lover, so it was time to display my music skills. My try was passed as OK, thankfully. Eventually the bride came out and the groom lifted her up into the waiting car during everyone’s applause.

In the weddings I have attended, there have been a few Western elements, like white gowns and wedding vows, but overall, I would characterize the weddings as very much Chinese in both form and style. It is a mix of tradition, spectacle, prestige, showing off, and romance all in one.

话题语料库:

1.A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs(习惯)vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups(民族), religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows(誓言) by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic(象征性)item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation(宣告) of marriage by an authority figure. Special wedding garments(服装)are often worn, and the ceremony is sometimes followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayers or readings from religious texts or literature are also commonly incorporated into the ceremony.

2.The use of a wedding ring has long been part of religious weddings in Europe and America, but the origin of the tradition is unclear. One possibility is the Roman belief in the Vena Amoris, which was believed to be a blood vessel that ran from the fourth finger (ring finger) directly to the heart, thus when a couple wore rings on this finger their hearts were connected. Historian Vicki Howard points out that the belief in the "ancient" quality of the practice is most likely a modern invention. "Double ring" ceremonies are also a modern practice, a groom's wedding band not appearing in the United States until the early 20th century.
