Speaking exercise

Tell me about a family celebration that you attended

It was happened in 10 years ago when I was in high school. My cousin brother‘s wedding was coming. I was invited to be the person to give the ring to the bride and at that time I was very shy and nervous, so my mom took take me to the bride and held my hand walking through the stage. When I was close to the bride, I scratched her clothes and the bride was smiling to me and my mother handed put the ring to the bride. So I didn’t finish my job duty and the music was so loud, after I climbed down the stage, I started to cry and I felt awkward. So (the wedding day) I was unhappy with about myself on the wedding day, I think I am a very shy person but at last we took a photo with the bride and she gave me the veil to try on. It was an unforgettable memory and was the first time I went to a wedding. I felt happy for them .


The friend was my colleague from my previous job and now she lives in Zhejiang, so on at the wedding day, I took the railway for two hours. I arrived at went to the wedding at 6pm. When I arrived at the hotel, it was about to start. The bride was very beautiful on at that day, she appeared from above in a clear box, just like a lift, was taking the lift and appearing from the sky and the light was is shining on her. She was wearing a very beautiful white dress with long train. And the wedding started a lot of videos showing us/telling us with show talking about their love stories. And the host started to invited the members to play games, like sing the song or pick up the dolls. So the wedding was just like a show but I can feel the love between their families and the couple. And my friend’s friend was crying when they attended the wedding. I think everyone was giving them their blessings blessing for them and wishing them can be together forever. And finally I received a red pocket. It was a nice day.
