浪漫的十月，空气中都散发着甜蜜~

“We are married!” Zhao&Feng’s official announcement (官宣)

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Reportedly Told a Fan that They Are, In Fact, Married (比伯承认已婚)

Karlie Kloss in her wedding gown (超模小KK结婚)

如果结婚是一个happy ending，从此公主与王子幸福地在一起，那么到达幸福彼岸前要经历些什么呢?

First，you carry a (secret) crush on someone—or, it may be love at the first sight.

首先，你迷/暗恋上某人——也可能是一见钟情。

Your heart flutter and your head spin when he/she comes towards you.

你小鹿乱撞、天旋地转当他/她向你走来。

Then, you may choose to write a love letter or just go to tell him/her your feelings, if you are courageous enough.

接下来，你可以选择写情书，亦或是直接走去表白，如果足够有勇气。

《初恋这件小事》，小水向学长表白。Santa最喜欢的表白场景哈哈。

Once you succeed, you get to have your first taste of love and each other’s company .

一旦成功，你就可以尝尝初恋的味道啦，还有彼此的陪伴(把company想成公司就闹笑话啦)。

You are found holding hands with someone on the street.

你会被看到和人牵手走在街上。

You talk endlessly on the phone or exchange messages with him/her all the time.

你总是在讲电话，或是和他/她发信息。

You look fresh and your cheeks rosier.

你看起来神清气爽、小脸红扑扑。

You see all the stars in each other’s eyes and you kiss.

你们在彼此眼中看到灿烂星辰然后拥吻。

此处省略一万字。。。。。。

After that, he proposes.

求婚求婚!

《唐顿庄园》“大表哥”向Mary求婚。终于让Santa松了一口气的求婚。

And you accept.

点头啦!

You get engaged and find out there is no money for the wedding. LOL.

你们订婚了然后发现没钱办婚礼。哈哈哈开个玩笑。

是不是进展太快了?

大概许多95后、00后“过来人”这时就要说“做梦呢吧”了。

那我们就来看看故事的the other side：

One day, you may see your BF/GF kissing someone else, his/her ex perhaps.

有一天，也许你会看到你的男/女朋友在吻别人——他/她的前任?

Or, you can no longer put up with his/her once endearing bad habits .

或者，你不能再忍受他/她那些也许你曾经还觉得可爱的坏习惯了。

Anyway, you feel the cold ashes of realism once the fire has burned out.

一旦爱情之火熄灭，你将感受到冷冰冰的现实。

Your once beloved one may turn out to be another guy on the street.

你曾经的挚爱终究成了又一个陌路人而已。

当然分手(break up/split)也不一定就要这么绝，比如A妹和Pete:

Ariana和Pete分手，订婚取消

据报道称，”the two still have love for each other”，and ”aren’t ruling out the possibility of anything in the future”。就是仍然有爱，且不排除未来的一切可能啦。

按Taylor Myers, a 25-year-old poet的话来说, love is more a choice than an emotion, and “it was a conscious commitment ”——相比感情，爱更是一种选择，是一个有意识的承诺。

最后，我们祝愿一切有情人都能go down the aisle!

Aisle 本意走廊、过道，常用于飞机上、教室和教堂里。

当一对新人沿着教堂的过道走下去，就是要携手终身的意思了。

所以以后就可以用go down the aisle这个地道表达来替换get married啦!
