marriage
Chris: Hey, Linds.
Lindsay: Hi, Chris. How are you?
Chris: Pretty good. Hey, I heard you're getting married?
Lindsay: I am. I got engaged in July and I'm getting married next September.
Chris: Wow. That's quite a long time between getting engaged and getting married.
Lindsay: It is but in America you usually have an engagement for one year.
Chris: Why is that?
Lindsay: I don't know, but now it's very regular to have a long engagement so if I don't have a long engagement, it seems like it's a rushed wedding.
Chris: So, what do you have to do between now and next September? What do you have to prepare?
Lindsay: Well, I hired the band.
Chris: Already?
Lindsay: Yes. They're a funk band.
Chris: Brilliant.
Lindsay: They play the Beattles and Earth, Wind & Fire.
Chris: Together?
Lindsay: Maybe not together, but I've hired a band and they're great and I've also hired the florist, and I've hired the caterer so we have the food and everything sorted and I have picked the location.
Chris: Well, how long did it take you to decide all that? It seems like you've done a lot of preparation already.
Lindsay: It took me about two months to get everything done. I saw about five different bands and six different florists and I looked at about seven different places.
