Todd: So, Meg, you're getting married soon. How are things going?

Meg: Things are going pretty well. We have a lot of planning to do.

Todd: I bet. So have you hired a band yet?

Meg: No, we haven't hired a band yet. My brother has some friends who were in a
band. So he's going to ask them.

Todd: Cool. And have you gotten the caterer for the wedding?

Meg: Yes, we have gotten a caterer because the food is very important. So we
ordered it in advance.

Todd: Oh, what kind of food?

Meg: We're going to have traditional American food.

Todd: Oh, nice. Nice. So have you bought a dress yet?

Meg: Yes, of course, I have bought a dress. That's the most important part. So last
week I picked up my new dress.

Todd: Have you tried it on yet?

Meg: Yes, I've tried it on many times already.

Todd: Okay. Cool. Have you shown it to your groom-to-be?

Meg: No. I haven't shown it to my groom-to be because it has to be a surprise on

the wedding day.

Todd: Oh, that's right. So have you ordered the flowers?

Meg: No, not yet. I haven't ordered the flowers because I'm waiting for some
special flowers from the florist. So still waiting.

Todd: And have you sent out the invitations?

Meg: Yes. We have sent out the invitations. We sent them out maybe a month ago.

Todd: Oh, cool. So then I assume you have booked the hall.
Meg: Yes. We have booked the hall because we wanted to have it at a special hall.
So we booked it probably six months ago.

Todd: Okay. Cool. Well, the only one problem, I didn't get an invite. Am I invited to
your wedding?

Meg: Oh, I brought the invitation with me today.

Todd: Okay. Great. Thanks.
