Dialog 29: Weddings
- Angelica: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
- Maria: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. Did you know that was where they went to school?
- Angelica: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
- Maria: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best wedding I’ve ever been to.

A few years ago, I was tlaking with some friends about weddings and marriage. Most thought that marriage, in addition to being unnecessary, was a martydom.
I always told them that their appoaches were true for those people who did not know how to choose their partner. But when you get your true better half, it’s worth celebrating and sharing our joys and loved with friends and loves ones. So, weddings allows us to formalize a relationship and receive the blessings of God and society by presenting ourselves as a new family that is just being born

”Weddings.”
Personally, I like a wedding ceremony. I love this colorful event very much. It is not easy to plan a wedding ceremony in our country ( Pakistan ). It is very important to get married in our culture. In our culture when a boy or girl completes their education and the boy starts his job the parents start searching girl for their son if he is not involved with someone. Muslim wedding or Shaadi consists of two main events, the Nikah and Wilma. Nowadays Pakistani weddings consist of too many events like
Mayoon, Mehdi, Nikah, Barat and walima.Mayoon
