Elementary ‐Daily Life ‐ Wedding Planning
(C0227)
A: Trina, will you marry me?
B: Yes! Yes! And yes! Jared of course I’ll marry you!
A: Oh Babe, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with
you! I can’t wait for all the adventures we’re going to have,
for all the fights and the laughter. I can’t wait to grow old
and wrinkly with you.
B: Oh Jared! I can’t wait for our wedding! I hope you
don’t mind, but I’ve already chosen a date! Six months
from now in the summer! Melissa saw you buying the ring
last month so I’ve had plenty of time to start planning!
A: She what?
B: Oh don’t worry sweetie, I didn’t know when you were
going to propose. It was still a nice surprise! As I was
saying, I’ve got it all planned out. There’s almost nothing
left to do! I wrote up our guest list and we will have
roughly four hundred guests
attending.
A: four hundred?
B: No need to sweat it My parents agreed to pay for most
of the wedding, which is going to be lowbudget anyway.
So roughly four hundred people, which means that the hall
at Northwood Heights will be our reception venue. I
thought it would be nice if we had the wedding at your
parents’ church and my uncle of course would be
officiating. We’ll meet with him soon for some
pre-wedding counseling. The music for the wedding
ceremony was a no-brainer. My step-sister and her string
quartet will take care of that. My cousin will be the official
photographer. I thought it would also be nice if his
daughter could sing a solo. Did you know that she’s going
to be a professional opera singer?
A: Ah...
B: And then of course the ladies at the church would love
to be our caterers for the banquet and we’ll get the Youth
Group to serve us. I was thinking that your friend’s band
could be our entertainment for the night. though they
might have to tone it down a bit. Or we could hire a DJ.
Your sister’s husband could get us a discount with that
company that does the decor at weddings. what’s their
name again? I was thinking that we could have an island
paradise- themed wedding and our theme color would be a
soothing blue like Aquamarine.
And there will be a huge seashell on the wall behind the
podium where we’ll make our toasts! What do you think
of small packages of drink mixes for our wedding favors?
Who else am I missing? Oh, your uncle could be our
florist and his wife could make our wedding cake!
A: Wow.
B: See? It’s going to be wonderful! Oh this wedding is
going to be everything I ever dreamed of.
A: If I survive the next six months.
