Th – pronunciation

Vocabulary

ceremony: 典礼；仪式

eg. a wedding graduation ceremony

grand: impressive and large

eg. They had a grand ceremony to celebrate the birth of their first-born child.

My wedding is very simple, just eat together with family and relatives. Only some important friends, less than ten. At that moment, my husband and I hadn’t a lot of money. We don’t want to use our parents’ money. They earn the money very hard, if we use it, we feel very bad. At that moment, we had a very simple, dinner with our friends and family, but we have travel to Bali.

So I think honeymoon is more important than the wedding. I think later on we would have kids but even though we would have travel and even if we have kids, I think the maybe not the same situation. I think the honeymoon is our own thing but the ceremony is not my thing. At most meaning like let other people know how happy you are. So I had a dinner to satisfy my parents and his parents. Some people told me honeymoon is not very necessary because they think they will have a lot of travel in the future but I think your opinions will change in the future.

Revised: 

My wedding was very simple, we just had dinner together with family and relatives. We also invited less than ten important friends. At that time, my husband and I didn’t have a lot of/much money. We didn’t want to use our parents’ money. They worked hard to earn money so if we used it, we would feel very bad. At that time, we had a very simple dinner with our friends and family, but we went to Bali for our honeymoon.

So I think the honeymoon is more important than the wedding. I thought, later on, we would have kids, but even though we would be able to travel and when we have kids, I felt that the situation would not be the same. I think that the honeymoon is between us but the ceremony is not just about us. It’s mostly about letting other people know how happy you are. So I hosted a dinner to satisfy my parents and his parents. Some people told me that the honeymoon is not very necessary because they think they will have a lot of time to travel in the future, but I think your opinions will change in the future.
