雅思阅读材料之最倒霉新娘

 

It is the biggest day of a girl's life, and often takes over a year to arrange. But Nicky Pretty from the UK was forced to cancel her wedding plans ten times before finally walking down the aisle。

 

　　According to the Daily Mail on January 25, Pretty, 41, from Bournemouth, UK, was first due to marry fiancé Trevor, three years ago, but a series of disasters prevented the couple from actually tying the knot. The pair called off their first wedding in Cyprus in 2008 because Nicky's brother and sister did not want to take their babies abroad。

 

　　Failed attempts included cancelling a home wedding after neighbors complained it would be too noisy. The couple were also forced to scrap plans to marry on a boat because the tide was out, and had to abandon plans to marry on a picturesque island off Fiji. One of Pretty's wedding cancellations was because their reception venue had been doubled booked。

 

　　The couple finally married last month in Edinburgh. "I was so upset we made a pact not to talk about getting married any more as I kept bursting into tears. When we finally said our vows it was perfect," said Pretty。

 

　　对每个女孩来说，一生中最重要的日子莫过于结婚的那。很多人甚至会花上一年的时间去准备婚礼庆典。但是，来自英国的妮奇?布莱迪却在踏上红地毯前，一波十折，被迫取消婚礼十次。

 

　　据英国《每日邮报》1月25日报道，来自英国伯恩茅斯的布莱迪次和未婚夫特雷弗筹备婚礼是在三年前，但是一系列的波折让这对新人未能“修成正果”。2008年，因为妮奇的兄弟姐妹不愿意把自己的孩子带出国，这对准新人被迫取消了婚礼。

 

　　有了次，以后的N次就接踵而来了。有一次是家庭婚礼，因为邻居投诉太吵，婚礼中途取消。另外一次，因为退潮，这对准新人被迫取消了在船上举行婚礼的计划，错过了斐济某风景如画的岛上婚礼。更离谱的一次是，举行婚礼的酒店被重订了两次，他们不得不重新择日结婚。

 

　　上个月，这对情侣终于如愿以偿在爱丁堡举行婚礼。布莱迪说：“我曾经非常难过。我们也说好再也不提结婚这档子事，当时我放声大哭。但是我们终于结婚了，宣誓的感觉太奇妙了”。
