    　　Weddings in America

    　　Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do.But many weddings,no matter where or how they are performed,include certain traditional customs.For instance,the bride and groom often exchange rings.The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand.

    Today,the rings symbolize the couple's commitment to one another.

    　　After the ceremony,the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family.After the ceremony,there is often a party,where people may enjoy plentiful food.

    　　And a wedding cake sits in a corner waiting to be cut.Soon thereafter,the bride stands in the center of the room,often on a chair,and throws her bouquet of flowers to the assembled unmarried women at the reception.It is said that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride.Some women eagerly attempt to catch the bouquet,others shy away.

    　　And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off.The tradition of a honeymoon,a trip after the wedding.The trip nowadays varies considerably dictated by wealth,time and preference.Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel,sometimes they will spend two weeks at a remote vacation spot.

    　　Most American students have said goodbye to fancy(高级的)fruits these days．In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their places．

    　　During the financial crisis(金融危机), several of the country's biggest banks have been forced to sell or close．This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods．

    　　This month the US government agreed on a ＄700 billion plan to try to save the financial market．But no one is sure whether it will help or not．President George W．Bush has warned it will take some time．
