    mainland brothers and sisters ( at least they wish to be as modern-minded ), so I expect that when the next marriage takes place, that instead of having the merry-making wedding of the good old long ago, that the young couple will leave us for a short honeymoon elsewhere, and when they return, it will be only because duty recalls them.
