 READING COMPREHENSION

MY WEDDING

It was December 8, my Wedding Day. It was 10:05 a.m and I had woken up because the alarm clock had rung. I had only one hour to get ready and leave because the ceremony was at 11:00, but I hadn’t even taken a shower. I was nervous. By 10:45 I had already done it and also I had eaten breakfast but I hadn’t gone to the beauty salon yet. When I got there, it was open. My hairdresser had open early but he hasn`t receive me  because he got  sick. So, we went back home, and my mom helped me with my hair, makeup and dress.

Later, I received a call; it was the priest telling me that he had gone out of town and he couldn’t preach that day. Luckily, my mom could get another priest.

It was 12:00,  a big  car had picked us up yet. Immediately, we go out  to the church and arrived at 1:00p.m The guests had been waiting for three hours.

Finally, I got married and the reception was beautiful.
