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.
What possible difference is suggested between a church and a civil wedding?
选项
A、Civil weddings are less commonly followed by a reception.
B、It is less usual for guests to attend the civil wedding formalities.
C、Guests at civil weddings are less formally dressed.
D、There could be less attention paid at the latter to convention and picturesque effect.
答案
D
解析
文章第二段的最后一句话提到在婚姻登记处举行的市政婚礼上也会出现这种情况(新娘身穿白色的婚纱礼服,并由身着鲜艳礼服的小孩子来充当伴娘),但是并不多见。由这句话可以判断:教堂婚礼要比市政婚礼隆重,场面也更独特。因此应该选D)。其他三个选项在文章中都没有提及;选项D)中要注意理解convention(习俗)和picturesque(独特的)两个词的含义。
