Today, I’m gonna share with you a wedding of my friend that I attended. Last 
month, I received a wedding invitation from my old friend from primary school. The 
wedding was held at the beginning of April. We have been close to each other for 
over 15 years, therefore, I definitely wanted to attend at all costs, due to the fact 
that we hadn’t had a chance to get together for ages. 
Her wedding ceremony took place at The Sum Villa, located near my home in the 
heart of my city. It was decorated impressively with a lot of lights, candles and 
flowers around the room. There were three glamorous wedding photo albums, 
showing tables right at the centre of the official gate. The principal colours were 
likely to be white and violet, so all the guests were requested to wear clothes with 
one or both of these colours. Personally, I wore a white dress with 
small accessories. 
It was meant to be a casual wedding, which I had never attended before. It turned 
out to be refreshingly informal. One of the best moments that really touched me 
was when the bridegroom sang a song for the bride and all the guests sang along 
with him. Also, he made a photo clip by himself marking their 4-year romance, to 
show to everyone in the room. It was no surprise that everyone clapped their 
hands and cheered them. Of course, I was no exception. 
It was also a good chance to catch up with my old friends and we all had a great 
time. We definitely made the most of the occasion and took a lot of pictures with 
the bride and the bridegroom. I gave my friend a gift to celebrate her wedding day. 
I had given much thought to my wedding present when I was choosing it, and I 
wished her lots of happiness for the future.
