Last week I attended a wedding ceremony. The new couple are from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The bridegroom is a wrestler who has taken part in the national wrestling competition, and the bride is the archery champion. Both of them have represented the autonomous region in national competitions. They love each other, respect each other and have faith or belief in each other. They have a lot in common. To be frank, they are absolutely well matched. The wedding was held in a tent on the grassland, reflecting a warm atmosphere. The bride showed unique grace in her fancy robe. After the host delivered a brief speech, all the guests clapped their hands. Just at that moment, an eagle flew through the air, giving people a horrible feeling. Except for this, everything went well. After the wedding, the guests began to go off and the new couple set off for home, too. After that, the media reported on the wedding.
