洋女婿
一、相识 1、I've received an invitation from my old classmate to go to the wedding ceremony of his daughter, Ya Nan. 2、What surprised me was that the son-in-law was a foreign man. 3、Ya Nan used to study at a foreign institution. 4、In order to improve her spoken English,she often goes to the English corner, where she met William, a student from the U.S.A. 5、After that, Ya Nan did not need to go to the English corner anymore be cause William and she seemed to have many things to talk about.
二、订婚 6、A few months later during a vacation, William visited Ya Nan's family, and then he went back to the United States. 7、Soon, he invited Ya Nan to the US, where she met William's parents. 8、After receiving the consent of the parents from both families, they got engaged.
三、结婚 9、William's parents and more than ten of his relatives came to China for their wedding. 10、Although the wedding made William very exhausted, he felt tremen dously happy. 11、One month before, they had had another wedding ceremony at a church in the US.
四、定居 12、At first, Ya Nan's parents worried that their only daughter would live in the United States now that she's married. 13、However, they no longer need to worry because William ,one of the four children of his family, decided to settle in China. 14、Now, William and his wife have opened an English school in Qing Dao.
