Susan: OK. Let's see. Something borrowed. That's this dress. Borrowed from Marilyn.
Ellen: Something blue. My wristband. I wore it when I married your father. [She puts it on Susan's left wrist.]
Susan: Oh, Mother. I forgot you still had it. It's just so lovely.

Ellen: Yes, honey. I did.
Marilyn: Are we ever going to finish?
[They all laugh and cry. ]

Marilyn: And when you both say,“I do. ”, Harry will lift this veil over your head and kiss the bride.
Ellen: Oh, I'm so excited!
Susan: When you said, “I do.”Marilyn, it suddenly became real.
Marilyn: That's all right, Susan. You've got the wedding-day jitters! In less than two hours, you will be Mrs. Harry Bennett.
Ellen: Oh, that reminds me. If we don't get dressed, we won't be there to see Susan become Mrs. Harry Bennett.
Susan: Before you leave -- do I look all right?
Ellen: You never looked better.
Susan: Mom.
Marilyn: She's right. [She hugs Susan. Suddenly, Marilyn's baby starts to cry in another room. ] And that's dear little Max. Got to go and feed him.

Susan: Are you kidding? Relax?
[Ellen and Marilyn leave.]

【语言点精讲】
1. When you said, “I do.” Marilyn, it suddenly became real.
你刚才一说出了“我愿意”的时候，Marilyn，我忽然明白这事是真的了。
when you said: 注意这里的时态，一般过去时，指刚才Marilyn所说的“And when you both say, “I do. ”, Harry will lift this veil over your head and kiss the bride. ” Susan这时神经高度紧张，故Marilyn所描述的情况突然使她醒悟，她再过一会儿就要真地成为Harry的妻子了。
2. You've got the wedding-day jitters! In less than two hours, you will be Mrs. Harry Bennett.
你是得了婚礼日的心慌症！再有不到两小时，你将成为Harry Bennett夫人了。
许多美国妇女在婚后改用丈夫的姓。Susan的娘家姓为Stewart，她婚后的姓应为Bennett。一些美国妇女还愿意保留娘家姓，一些妇女用两家的姓。因此在Susan跟 Harry Bennett结婚后，她有以下几个姓名的选择:
Susan Stewart（不改变），
Susan Bennett（换成丈夫的姓），
Susan Stewart Bennett（娘家姓+夫家姓），
Mrs. Harry Bennett（在正式的场合用）。
3. Oh, that reminds me.
That reminds me. : 这给我提了个醒（使我想起来了）。句型是 remind sb. of sth.， 如请别人在将来某时提醒自己去做一件事，句型为 Please remind me to do sth.或Please remind me about sth.
4. You never looked better.
你从来没有现在这么好看。这是常用的给别人打气的话，也可说: “You're looking better/younger/smarter/more handsome than ever.”
5. Got to go and feed him.
我得去给他喂奶了。
Got to go. : 我得走。在这里相当于“I've got to go. ”这是个非正式但常用的句子。表示“我必须走了”或“我不得不走”。
6. Are you kidding? Relax?
你是在说笑话吧？我怎能放松得了？这里的意思是How can I relax?
7. Susan Stewart…you are about to become Susan Bennett-Mrs. Harry Bennett.
