Wendi: Yeah, sure.

James: OK.

Wendi: Tell me about it.

James: Now?

Wendi: Yeah.

James: My sister's wedding. It was in a small village church near her house. I was giving her away, so it was wonderful. We walked into the church, and I led her down the aisle¹ and they were listening to, they didn't have traditional music. They had Beattles music playing.

Wendi: Really.

James: And it was really beautiful and yeah, it was an amazing wedding.

Wendi: Yeah.

James: She looked absolutely stunning² and my family were there, just close friends of my sister and then after the wedding they had the reception at my sister's back garden.

Wendi: Right.

James: And it was just wonderful.

Wendi: That sounds really beautiful.

James: No fuss, just really easy. Just a big family gathering³ and it was really, really a lovely day. It rained all day as well.

Wendi: Did it really?

James: And it made no difference whatsoever⁴.

Wendi: Wow, that sounds pretty special.

James: Yeah, the next-door neighbors did all the food and they were caterers so the food was magnificent.

Wendi: Wow.

James: It was special because of the atmosphere rather than anything else? It didn't cost much money, but it was just perfect.

Wendi: That sounds beautiful.

Pause 2

Wendi: So what was it like to give away your sister, like do you feel that as being a big responsibility.

James: Yeah, I was really ch**ffed when she asked me. It really, really meant a lot so, cause she had a difficult decision to choose who to give her away, so yeah it was a really big, yeah, it was a real big honor to do. And, it's an easy thing to do. You walk down the aisle and you sit down and that's it.

Pause 3

Wendi: What's your best kind of memory from that whole wedding - that whole experience?

James: Ah, seeing my sister in her wedding dress, that morning. She just looked so beautiful.

Wendi: Yeah.

James: And also seeing how nervous my brother-in-law was before the wedding in the pub. He was so nervous and it was really sweet and also because it's a village and she's a hairdresser, all the old ladies had come and stood outside the church to have a look at her.

Wendi: Oh, that's so awesome⁵.

James: And to wish her luck on the way in.

Wendi: That's really cool

James: Cause it was only for family, really and they'd all come to see her in bride's gown.

Wendi: Oh that sounds really special.
