什么是“度假地婚礼”?
近年来年轻人都流行去度假地举行婚礼,马尔代夫、巴厘岛、欧洲教堂……都是举行婚礼的好地方。这种浪漫而不失庄重的婚礼形式就叫destination wedding(度假地婚礼)。
Destination wedding is a wedding that takes place out of town, usually at a vacation resort.
度假地婚礼是到外地去举行的婚礼,通常在度假胜地举行。
It is said that these so-called "destination weddings' are more popular for second marriages. But nowadays even first weddings are being held at resorts.
据说,二婚的人会更多地选择这种“度假地婚礼”。不过现在许多第一次结婚的人也选择在度假胜地举行婚礼。
Couples opt for destination weddings to avoid the usual hassles associated with wedding ceremonies (guest lists, bands, catering, etc.) and to give themselves an instantly romantic location for their honeymoon.
新人们选择在度假地举行婚礼是为了免去传统婚礼仪式的麻烦(宾客名单、乐队、酒席,诸如此类),也是为了让自己能迅速投入浪漫蜜月地的怀抱。
