　　新娘們要花掉超過一個(gè)月的時(shí)間為自己的婚禮做準(zhǔn)備，不僅如此，大約有四分之三的女性(74%)甚至在遇到自己的夢中情人之前，就已經(jīng)將婚禮設(shè)想得八九不離十了——包括她們是想要在教堂舉行婚禮，還是在婚姻登記處舉辦儀式都想過了。

　　A third (32 per cent) have gone so far as choosing a dress as a single woman - and a quarter (24 per cent) have picked the kind of engagement ring they would like.

　　在整個(gè)過程中，最耗時(shí)的事情就是選擇場地和選定菜單，其次是選婚紗，寫賓客名單，預(yù)定蜜月旅行地和挑選戒指。

　　Only four out of ten brides (42 per cent) wished that the groom had taken a bigger role in the planning - suggesting most women are happy to take the lead.
