In Britain arrangement for inviting and entertaining guests at a wedding are usually the responsibility of the bride’s family. In most cases it is mainly friends and relations of both families who are invited but when the bride’s father is a businessman of some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social connections with clients or customers and other people whose good will may be of advantage to him. It is, however, the bride’s mother who has the job of preparing the formal printed invitation cards.
In the case of a church wedding, the vicar(牧师) of each parish in which the bride and bride groom lives is normally informed about a month in advance 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. Anyone who may know of an existing marriage of either partner is ordered to give information about it, though this means of avoiding bigamy(重婚罪) must have been more effective in the days when people moved about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her brides maid, who are often children, wear long dresses in attractive colors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usual.
The reception which follows may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are few guests, in the bride’s own home. Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding-cake is cut (usually to the accompaniment of speeches) and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes off to change into everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon, the journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad.
Why are the arrangements for a church wedding usually made some time before?
选项
A、To allow the necessary length of time for publicizing the wedding.
B、To provide time for organizing the reception.
C、To make sure that the guests can arrange to be free on the day.
D、To ensure a thorough investigation of the couple’s existing marital status.
答案
A
解析
文章第二段第一句后半句说so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place,与A)项所述一致,所以应该选A)。B)和C)在文中都没有提到;而D)与本段第二句的意思不符,文中并没有说要对双方已有的婚姻关系进行详细的调查,只是让知情人提出来。
