蕾切爾：我參加過的最棒的婚禮應該是我朋友的婚禮，嗯，等一下，請等一下。

Wendi: No worries because.

溫迪：沒事。

Rachel: What is our scale of best? Like most fun? Most emotional?

蕾切爾：怎麼來界定最棒的？是最有意思的？還是最感人的？

Wendi: That's a good question. I guess what ever was the most kind of rewarding wedding you've ever attended. And I guess you have to chose that based on your scale.

溫迪：這是個好問題。我想你可以談談你參加過的最有意義的一場婚禮，你可以按照你自己的想法來說。

Rachel: What are the questions going to be so I can think of how to break it down.

蕾切爾：你會問些什麼問題，這樣我就知道我要如何分配內容。

Wendi: Anything. It's totally random usually.

溫迪：各種問題，通常我會隨機問問題。

Rachel: Oh, OK.

蕾切爾：哦，好。

Wendi: It's totally random. And actually, it's even good for the listener's for the people that are going to be listening to hear you thinking in your mind, like, "Ah," I don't really know. Just total natural conversation.

溫迪：問題完全是隨機的。實際上，對聽衆來說聽你說出腦海中想的話可能會更好，比如“啊”這種即時的反應。我也說不清楚。就是完全自然的談話。

Rachel: No cause like there are three weddings where I can think of: The Wiccan wedding. My friend Amanda's wedding which was just massive. There as like 13 bridesmaids and thirteen and the other one that was on a ship.

蕾切爾：嗯，我想到了三場婚禮，首先是威卡教徒的婚禮。還有我朋友阿曼達的婚禮，那場婚禮的規模非常大。他們邀請了13位伴娘和13位伴郎，另外一場婚禮是在船上舉行的婚禮。

Wendi: Wow. Was it like on a cruise boat kind of thing, or?

溫迪：哇，是那種遊艇嗎？

Rachel: Not a cruise boat. It was a smaller kind of like sail boat, sailing around the Netherlands.

蕾切爾：不是遊艇。是一種小型的帆船，婚禮舉行時帆船就沿着荷蘭航行。

Wendi: That sounds crazy. Was it like a super quaint wedding kind of thing?

溫迪：聽起來太瘋狂了。那是一場古怪的婚禮嗎？

Rachel: No, it was kind of like a metal wedding.

蕾切爾：不是，是一場重金屬婚禮。

Wendi: A metal wedding?

溫迪：重金屬婚禮？

Rachel: Yeah.

蕾切爾：對。

Wendi: What do you mean?

溫迪：你是什麼意思？

Rachel: Well, it was a whole bunch of metal heads on a boat...

蕾切爾：船上有許多重金屬搖滾樂迷。

Wendi: Seriously?

溫迪：真的嗎？

Rachel: Eating vegetarian food.

蕾切爾：對，他們吃素食。

Wendi: That sounds crazy.

溫迪：聽上去真瘋狂。

Rachel: Yeah it was pretty brilliant.

蕾切爾：對，婚禮非常精彩。

Wendi: Wow. So out of all of the weddings you've been ever experienced in your whole life does anyone kind of ring out to you at all as that's the wedding I want to have.

溫迪：哇。在你參加過的所有婚禮中，有沒有哪場婚禮是你想舉行的那種婚禮？

Rachel: No.

蕾切爾：沒有。

Wendi: No.

溫迪：沒有嗎？

Rachel: First off, I think I would elope.

蕾切爾：至於婚禮儀式，我甚至都不清楚自己要辦哪種傳統的儀式。

Wendi: Yeah.
