Romance and marriage
Anna was a very romantic girl who often dreamed of love and marriage. She was especially attracted to a young man named Michael, who worked in the same office as she did, and he liked her too. They became friendly and one day Michael asked her to go out with him. Their first date was a visit to the cinema, and they both enjoyed the evening so much that they decided to go out together regularly. Everything went well, so Michael decided to propose to her. Anna accepted his proposal and they became engaged and he gave her a ring. After a year they decided to get married.
Some people have a religious ceremony with a priest, but Anna and Michael decided on a registry office. On the day of the wedding Anna, the bride, was very calm, but Michael, the groom, was nervous. Afterwards, at the reception, the guests drank a toast to the happy couple, who left for a honeymoon in Spain.
