Would you prefer an expensive wedding with
lots of guests or a simple one?
Would you prefer to have an expensive and
ostentatious wedding with lots of guests or a
simple and quiet one?

Everyone has his own conception. These
viewpoints are quite different from each other,
especially in ceremonies and rites, for example,
in a wedding ceremony.

Last Sunday, one of my closest girlfriends invited
me to her wedding. The bride was born of a
middle-class family. Her parents are retired
government officials. To satisfy their daughter’s
wishes, they had to organize a pompous and
expensive wedding. The wedding was prepared
carefully: they had the house whitewashed and
decorated, lanterns and gorgeous flowers were
hung everywhere.

On the wedding day, the bride wore a full-length
pink dress, with a crown on her head just like a
queen. A great number of guests were invited to
the party. Delicious and rare main courses were
served in the deafening sounds of rock music.
Almost all guests drank so much whisky and
brandy that they got as drunk as lords, and the
wedding party lasted three days and three nights.
It was rumored that her wedding party cost half of
her parents’ fortune.

As for me, I have a quite different conception of
wedding. I prefer to have a very simple and quiet
wedding party rather than an ostentatious and
expensive one.

Before my wedding, I myself will decorate the
living-room in accordance with my taste. In my
wedding ceremony, I will wear a traditional dress
which represents chastity and purity. Only few
friends and relatives will be invited to my simple
wedding party. There will be no rock music and
no other kinds of festivals.

In summary, I conceive that the happiness of a
newly-married couple cannot be found in an
ostentatious and expensive wedding which only
ruins their health and their parent’s fortune.
