If you’d like to add a slice of your heritage to your wedding ceremony, you’re not alone. Millions of couples are embracing their ancestry and choosing to incorporate some of the best traditions from around the world in their ceremonies here at home. Here are some of the most interesting wedding traditions you might find if you attended a wedding in a Scandinavian country. If you or your family are from one of these countries, why not try adding some phrases from your ancestor’s native tongue in your wedding vows for a truly memorable touch?
Origin of the original Britons, the Vikings, and Hamlet, Scandinavia is a cluster of countries with a unique set of wedding customs. In Denmark, an arch of pine limbs called a Gate of Honor is built in front of the bride’s home. At some point in the reception, the groom will leave the room and all the male guests will get to kiss the bride. When he returns, she will depart and the female guests will kiss the groom.
In Viking times, the groom would pay a price for the bride, and the bride’s family would provide a dowry. These combined funds were then given to the couple at the end of the marriage ceremony in order to provide a starting point for the newlyweds. Today, the parents will tuck money into the bride’s shoes. The father contributes silver to the left shoe and the mother contributes gold to the right shoe. Also, the shoes are left untied in belief that this will ensure easy childbirth in the future.
Truly traditional Viking weddings are always held on Friday, which was considered the day of Frigga and therefore sacred. The couple is often sanctified at the beginning of the ceremony with a sprinkling from a fir bough dipped in wine. Rings may be presented by the bride and groom to each other on the tip of a ceremonial sword, and vows are often recited while both hands hold the hilt, reminding the couple that marriage is a lifelong commitment that is equally binding on both male and female.

[br] What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
选项
A、The Vikings are the ancestors of the Britons.
B、Hamlet is one of the countries in Scandinavia.
C、There are now three countries in Scandinavia.
D、The Britons were originated from Scandinavia.
答案
D
解析
第2段第1句中,主语是Scandinavia,结合前面的同位语origin of the original Britons可以知道Scandinavia is the origin of the original Britons,即选D。由第1句可知A错误;由于Hamlet与Britons.Vikings是并列的,故Hamlet应指“人”,排除B;原文虽然只提到了三个国家的人,但并不意味着Scandinavia只包括这三个国家,因此C也不正确。
