The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning.Another couple were being married at the same time.Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations:four luxurious cars brought bride,bridegroom,family and friends home,and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny living—room,hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures.A big meal was given;the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or sherry(葡萄酒)。And while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept,the four cars set out again,taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the country—side.
