问题     Most British couples, whether religious or not, have a church wedding, which combines the religious rite with the legal contract. Wedding arrangement for inviting and entertaining guests at a wedding are usually the【66】(responsible) of the bride’s family. In most cases it is mainly friends and re【67】of both families who are invited, but when the bride’s father is a person with pr【68】social standing or a businessman of some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social co【69】with those people whose goodwill may be of great advantage to him and his family. It is however, the bride’s mother who has the job of sending out the formal printed【70】(invite) cards.
    In the case of church wedding, the vicar of each pa【71】in which the bride and bridegroom live is normally informed about a month in【72】of the ceremony so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the church and the bride usually wears the tr【73】(tradition) long white dress and veil, while her br【74】, who are often children, wear long dresses in attractive colours. The wedding ceremony resembles a Christian se【75】during which the bride and bridegroom make promises to each other, according to which, whatever unforeseen difficulties they may encounter, they will remain l【76】to each other until they die. The wedding ceremony may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usual and more purely l【77】.
    After the ceremony, there is nearly always a "reception" consisting【78】a light meal, which is usually held in a restaurant, or in a local hall where a great number of guests attend. But it may also be held in the bride’s own home when there are few guests. Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding cake is cut and dis【79】to the guests, toasts and drink and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebration, the bride goes off to change into her everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their ho【80】, the journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad, during which they enjoy all the pleasure and none of the responsibilities of married life.
