Few young couples even today marry without a united family blessing and a wedding affords an ideal family reunion. Everyone preens (打扮) in lounge

55、 suit, new gown and eye-alluring hat; food and drink mellow and en-liven. That compact privileged group, the family, surrounded by mere friends, probably gets the greatest pleasure out of celebrations. Note is taken of how Uncle Richard has aged and Aunt Margaret is putting on weight-wherever did sh
