How many people get married in June each year in the United States?
W: Almost five million people are married each year in the United States. About one in every eight of these weddings takes place in June, the traditional month for weddings.
Getting married can be as simple as a five-minute ceremony performed by a judge in a law office. Or it can be a traditional religious ceremony at home, or in a church.
The average age of an American woman being married for the first time is about twenty-four years. The average age for a man is twenty-five. Most young men and women get engaged about a year before the wedding.
In the Nineteen-Sixties and Seventies, many young Americans decided not to have traditional, formal weddings. Many brides and grooms wrote their own wedding ceremonies. These often included poetry and personal statements about their goals in marriage. Some grooms wore old blue jeans to their weddings. More than a few brides were married in their bare feet. It was not unusual to be married on a sandy beach or on a mountainside.
In the last ten years, however, big formal weddings have become popular again. Experts say the average size of formal weddings now is two-hundred guests. Most formal wedding patties are held at hotels or high-priced eating places. There are fresh flowers and paid photographers. Musicians play for dancing, and hired servants present the wedding dinner.
A big wedding takes months to plan, and it can cost thousands of dollars.
选项
A、They wrote their own books to mark their wedding ceremonies.
B、They didn’t wear special clothes or went even without shoes.
C、They had their wedding ceremonies in a church or a law office.
D、They spent their honeymoons on a sandy beach or on a mountainside.
答案
B
解析
本题考查判断是非。根据短文中间的信息:“许多新郎、新娘用诗歌和自述的方式写下婚姻的目标,记录自己的婚礼仪式。有些新郎穿着旧牛仔裤来参加婚礼。很多新娘光着脚举办婚礼。在沙滩和山坡上举办婚礼是非常常见的”,可以看出,只有选项B 的内容与短文符合,为正确答案。其他选项或多或少与短文内容有出入。
