問題詳情：

    A mother and daughter have made their wedding days special—by having a joint ceremony(聯合婚禮).

       Kim Milhano, 28, and Susan Scott-Williams, 51, got married together. The two are often mistaken for sisters. They combined their weddings at a hotel near their homes in Bristol. Mother-of-two Kim said, “Sharing my big day with another bride(新娘) could make it feel embarrassing(令人尷尬的). But it actually brought us double the joy.”

       After walking up two ways in a V-shape, the brides met their husbands for their ceremonies, which were followed by a huge party for 180 people. And because they had one large wedding instead of two, the family managed to save a quarter of the cost of the ￡8,000 event.

       Kim said, “When my husband Carlos rang me and said ‘I think you need to sit down’, I was worried that one of the kids was hurt. So it was a bit of a relief(放鬆) when he said he wanted to have a double wedding with my mum and her husband Barry. Up until then day-to-day life had taken over and we’d never had time or the money to plan a wedding.” “Mum and Barry were happy for us to do things completely in our way but I didn’t want to take over. So we planned everything together—it’s what our whole family is like. We spent months planning the big day together. Thankfully we never had different opinions!”
