My parents told me that when they married nearly 25 years ago they just desired three things, including radio, bike and sewing machine. Today, my brother is going to marry soon and he also wants three things. However, the things are completely different. The couple want to get a large house, a pretty car and beautiful furniture. In the past, bikes were the main tool of transportation in the wedding ceremony. As we all know, cars replaced them a long time ago. Besides, my parents’wedding ceremony was held at home and close relatives were the cook in order to save money. Most of our ceremonies are held in grand hotels and famous restaurants because it is more convenient nowadays. Honeymoon was very uncommon to my parents at the time. My brother is planning to travel to Europe to enjoy his honeymoon. I am 19 years now and begin to imagine what will happen when I am going to marry. It is sure that It would be better.
