It was love at first sight for Jack and Caroline when they met on St. Valentine’s Day five years ago. They chatted and Jack asked the girl for her phone number. On the following day he called and asked her out for dinner. They fell in love and since then they have been together. Six months ago Jack gave Caroline a diamond ring, and she said “yes”. Last weekend they got married. Here is a picture of their wedding.
The bride and groom are leaving the church after the wedding ceremony. Caroline is wearing a long white dress and carrying a bouquet of flowers. Jack is wearing a tuxedo and a white rose. He’s holding Caroline’s hand. Their friends and relatives are throwing rice. The bride and groom are both smiling because they are happy.
In a few minutes, they are going to get into a white Cadillac decorated with flowers and a “Just Married” sign and drive to a hotel for the reception.They are going to have dinner, and the bride and groom are going to cut the cake. Caroline is going to throw her bouquet, and the girls are going to try to catch it. The girl who catches the bride’s bouquet is going to be the next to be married. The guests are going to take a lot of pictures. Some people are going to make speeches, and the parents of the bride and groom are going to cry! Then everyone is going to dance and play games.
Later on, Jack and Caroline are going to change their clothes. They are going to leave the reception, drive to the airport and fly to Acapulco in Mexico for their honeymoon. In Mexico they are going to stay at a luxurious hotel. In the morning they are going to sunbathe on superb beaches and swim in the clear blue water. In the evening they are going to do some sightseeing, buy souvenirs and write postcards to their family and friends. They aren’t going to tell anyone the address of their hotel!
