Read through the paragraphs and complete them with the correct missing words. I recommend reading the whole paragrpah once, then reading it again while trying to choose the right vocabulary.
Jack and Diane met at university. It was a case of love at first _1_. It was a whirlwind romance; they _2_ for just 3 months before getting engaged. Although Diane's parents were surprised that Diane had decided to tie the _3_ so soon (and at such a young age), they trusted her to make the right decision. Jack was nervous meeting them for the first time, but that's natural, meeting your future _4_ can be a nerve-wracking experience. Diane's parents took an instant shine to Jack and they were touched to hear that he had gotten down on one knee when he _5_ to her. 6 months after their first date, Diane and Jack got _6_. They didn't have a large wedding _7_, instead they got married at the local registry office and had a small _8_, for family and close fiends, in the local pub. Because they were both still busy with university, they didn't have the time or money for a big _9_. They made do with a weekend in the countryside.
Twenty years, and 3 children later, Jack and Diane today celebrate their 20th wedding _10_. Few of their friends are as happily married as Jack and Diane, in fact, many are of their friends are separated or even _11_. The happy couple say there is no secret to their successful marriage, they just both feel lucky to have found each other.

Just a lesson for me! In a few days I'm meeting ,for the first time, my future daughter in law in Australia. It won't be a nerve wracking experience, I'm sure. I'm always touched to hear her on the phone, she's so sweetie...
It's a whirlwind romance for them, so I'm not surprised that Filippo has decided to tie the knot. They will have a wedding ceremony in the Chapel of Melbourne University, where they met . It's romantic, isn't it?
Congratulations to Filippo and Trisha ; they make me feel extraordinarily happy !
By the way, 10/10 ! Thanks for lessons ,Chris , I need to learn ,you know...

A nice story - the happy marriage is getting rare nowadays. Many couples divorces. Many women have to raise up children on their own...
Have a nice day!
Marriage
