ow about him and you, but I did OK. I would have expected parents of the bride and groom and other family members to be there, there will likely be a ceremony in China also. One of the strange things is that his bride is much taller and heavier than he is, maybe making two of him, but not really overweight, just big. The contrast was too large to ignore because I was one of the few people there that was taller than her. She seemed polite and friendly but still reserved, not saying a great deal. She is reasonably attractive, though certainly not to your degree. At first I wondered if she spoke English but I heard her speak very well, so she was probably just overwhelmed with so many new people.

（我开始是不怎么想去的，我知道你跟他的事，所以我觉得我去了也不会很开心，但我对婚礼感觉还不错。我以为新娘新郎的家人会出席婚礼，但没有，很可能他们在中国还要举行一个婚礼。有一件事很令我吃惊，新娘比新郎高，比新郎重，块头差不多有新郎两个大，两人对比太强烈，没人会注意不到，因为在场的人当中，像我一样比新娘高的没几个。新娘看上去很懂礼貌，很友好，但也很矜持，很少说话。她长相还比较吸引人，但比不上你。刚开始我不知道她会不会说英语，但后来听见她说英语了，说得很不错，所以她的沉默寡言大概是因为跟这么多陌生人在一起，有点不知所措。）
