Royal Wedding




Vocabulary



"Marriages in Britain are heavily tied to tradition. Usually the man proposes to his girlfriend and buys his new fiancée an engagement ring. It is their choice if they want to have a long or short engagement while they plan their wedding. Although it is expensive, many people have a big church wedding followed by a wedding reception (wedding party). On the big day, the bride wears a white dress and walks with her father up the aisle (area in-bewteen the chairs for people to walk) where the groom is nervously waiting. During the ceremony the couple exchange rings and at the end they kiss. People throw confetti over the newly-weds as they leave the church on the way to the reception. At the reception people eat, drink, dance and make speeches. Soon after the wedding, the husband and wife go somewhere special on honeymoon - usually to a romantic place. This is the start of their new life together!
If you discover that you and your wife hate each other, don’t worry! It is pretty simple (and common) for couples to get a divorce!"

Song: Molly Malone



In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eye on sweet Molly Malone
As she pushed her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Singing A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!

A-live a-live O!

She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
That so were her mother and father before
As they each wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Singing A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
A-live a-live O!

She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Singing A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
A-live a-live O!
