Original:

I attended my classmate wedding today in the noon. She’s one of the classmates in my master degree course. She held her wedding in Pudong area, and six of our classmates went to her wedding today from very early morning we actually didn’t meet each other for quite a long time, so her wedding is also a very good opportunity for our classmates gathering. The wedding went really well, and everyone, including her family and friends, were really happy, and we were all touched, and also one of the classmate who attended the wedding left Shanghai since our graduation in 2012, so we haven’t seen each other for quite a long time. So it’s really exciting for us to meet each other, and we all feel really happy today.
