Confessions of a “Naked” Bride 一位裸婚的自白 By Luna Shi WJ 译 3个小辣椒 One day, back in 2002, university graduates Leon Han and Yvonne Feng made the decision to walk down the 1)aisle “naked.” Although they did 2)don clothes, the union—called a “naked marriage”—lacked some of the other finery that usually accompanies a Chinese wedding: a house, a car, a banquet, a 3)lavish honeymoon or even a ring. They chose to be bound in matrimony but not by material things. “Looking back, our decision was a bit of a gamble,” says Feng. “Thankfully it paid off.” 2002年和两刚毕业。房、车、、蜜月，甚至连婚戒也没有。说回头看当时的决定真像一场赌博，我赌对了Getting married is as easy as buying movie tickets Perhaps it was because the couple had known each other since high school and got along well, or because the French majors had both planned to migrate to Quebec after graduation, or maybe even because they were both 4)overwhelmed by 5)impulsiveness. So when Han asked Feng “Why don’t we get married?” her answer was a simple “Why not?” Obtaining a marriage certificate was no big deal, according to Feng. She does not rank it as one of her life’s more important moments. “If you 6)do away with all the 7)rituals and big gestures, marriage does not fundamentally change who you are,” explains Feng. “If I can buy a movie ticket because I feel like watching a movie, why can’t I get a marriage certificate because I feel like getting married?” The couple had no intention of holding a wedding ceremony, not back then and not any time soon. Feng chalks this up to 8)trepidation, and a 9)tinge of 10)cowardice. She says she feels that with no large wedding ceremony, no obligation to wear a wedding band and no pressure to refer to each others’ parents as “Mom” and “Dad,” their relationship feels as fresh as when they first fell in love. 领结婚证和买电影票没什么两样 在看来，领结婚证没什么大不了，没觉得是人生中特别重要的一件事。 仪式，你什么。电影票。这是出于，也胆怯。 觉得不办婚礼、不戴婚戒，互称对方的父母为爸爸妈妈两人Wedding ceremonies in China also tend to make you feel like you have 11)gatecrashed your parents’ party, says Feng.
