Speaking exercise

when was the last time you panicked?
The last time I panicked, before the wedding day, I asked my friend to come with me to sleep, because I knew she would be late on that day. I got up early on the wedding day and when I finished makeup, my friend got up. My cousin prepared some games to my husband, but my friend didn’t do anything. My cousin hide my shoes out the window. When my husband and his friends came, they gave us lots of red packs. They hit the door heavily so the door knob was broken. We spent one hour in play games, eating soup and drinking tea. Then my cousin carry me downstairs and we went to my husband’s house. Due to the short distance, we took the long way to get there. We spent one hour again to do the rituals. After that, my husband wanted to play games but I refused, so we had a rest. We went to take pictures at the hotel.
