Reading passage (Questions 19-23)
Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs vary from country to country.
The Wedding Rings: In most cultures, during the marriage ceremony, couples exchange their wedding rings with their life partner - usually made of gold or silver. The wedding rings are normally worn on the third finger of the left or right hand as a sign of being married. The circular shape of the ring is symbolic of the couple’s eternal relationship. In Brazil and some other communities, it is a tradition to have the rings engraved with the bride’s name on the groom’s ring, and vice versa.
The Wedding Flowers: Obviously, flowers play an important role in most weddings. In many areas, roses, especially the red roses are said to be the flowers of love, and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers – usually her single female friends. The lucky person who catches this bouquet is expected to be the next one to get married.
