Instructions: Read the email and choose the correct option (a–c) to complete the sentences (1–5).
I'm writing this email because I've got some important news to tell you. I'm getting married! Isn't that great?
It all happened last night. We were having dinner in a very nice Italian restaurant when Jake suddenly became
all quiet and said he had something to tell me. He looked so serious that I was afraid he was going to break up
with me or tell me he had a terrible illness, but then he took a little black box out of his pocket and put it in
front of me. I opened it and inside was an engagement ring and he just said, 'Will you marry me?' I was so
excited that I didn't even stop to think about it and replied, 'Yes, of course I will, silly!' And I put the ring on
my finger. So there we were, engaged!
Then we spent the rest of the evening making plans. Can we have the wedding at your house? You've got such
a big, beautiful garden that it'll be perfect. We are going to wait until after my final exams in June and I
thought a good day would be 10th July. That gives us eight months to plan everything. It should be enough
time, especially as we don't want a big traditional white wedding - just a big party with our best friends and
family. We're not going to start a family straight away because I need to get my career going, and I might even
decide to stay on at university and do a master's, but before we do that, we're going to travel round the world
for a year. Jake can take a career break for that time; his office have already said it's OK. It's so exciting!
