A: I can’t believe that Anthony is finally getting married!

B: Yeah well it’s about time! He’s been living with his parents for 40 years!

A: Don’t be mean. Look here come the bridesmaids! Their dresses look beautiful!

B: Who are those kids walking down the aisle?

A: That’s the flower girl and the ring bearer. I’m pretty sure they’re the groom’s niece and nephew. Oh, they look so cute!

B: I just hope the priest makes it quick. I’m starving. I hope the food’s good at the reception.
