ليا: أووو شو حلو هالمحبس، بعدني بمبسط فيه كل ما إتطلع عإيدي! بعد ما فاجأتني يا ماريو بأجمل عرض زواج أو proposal، صار هلأء وقت الجد: تحضير العرس!
Lea: Ohhh what a pretty engagement ring. I still rejoice in it every time I look at my hand! After you surprised me Mario with the most beautiful proposal, it is now time for some serious talk: Preparing for the wedding!
ماريو: حبيبتي ليا، منيح اللي امبسطتي. بس عمهلك! اتفقنا نتجوز الصيفية الجاي، يعني بعد في شي 9 أشهر. بعد بكير، لشو بدنا نبلش تحضير من اليوم؟!
Mario: Lea, my love, I am glad you are happy. But take it easy! We agreed to get married next summer, which means there are still 9 months left. It is still early. Why should we start preparing from today?!
ليا: لما ننعجق آخر دقيقة! ما بدنا نتأخر بالحجوزات وما بقا نلاقي محلات. بعدين، في كتير أمور لازم نتفق عليا. الموقع، التاريخ، الورود، الموسيقى، المعازيم، التياب، المصور… قولك لازم نطلب مساعدة شركة لتنظيم الأعراس ونسلمن إلن هالتحضيرات؟ منخبرن شو حابين وهني بيهتمو بالتفاصيل.
Lea: It is so we do not get overwhelmed last minute! We do not want to be late with reservations and end up with no availabilities. Also, there are many things we need to agree on. The location, the date, the flowers, the music, the guests, the outfits, the photographer… Do you think we should request the help of a wedding planning company and hand them these preparations? We would tell them what we like, and they will take care of the details.
