Speaking exercise

Original:

Before I enter this room, I was still preparing the rundown for my wedding. I think my wedding is the biggest event ever than I did for my work. At first I only want to have a very small-scale wedding party to invite my close friends and relatives, but my father want to announce to the friend or relative that he knew, so now have 250 guest will attend my wedding. So it’s a big party and lots of people will have dinner together and in for my preparation I have lots of details to pay attention to, like to arrange the seats of customers, and for customers not from Shanghai, we need to receive their hotels, so it’s quite complicated and I need to do job allocation to my friend, and my father and other relatives. I still have lots of concerns about my wedding, as it seems lots stuff still need to be prepared. But hopefully, everything will be okay.
