young people under the age of twenty-one to get married without their parents' permission.

Слайд 4 So what was a young couple to do

So what was a young couple to do if they were

if they were in love and under 21 ?

Why, flee to Scotland of course. And Gretna Green was the first village on the Scottish side of the border.

The marriage ceremony was short and simple. The

"anvil priest" first asked the couple their names and

addresses, then told them to stand up, and asked if they were single and if they were both there of their own free will.

to proceed-приступать
groom-жених
bride-невеста
admonition-предостережение

On their

certificate and proceeded to the heart of the ceremony

including the groom placing a ring on his bride's left hand, and an admonition, "What God joins together let no man put asunder." Then he hit the hammer over the anvil and declared the couple man and wife.

to put asunder-разделять
hammer-молот


Слайд 8 Big Business
Very soon Gretna Green weddings became so

Big Business Very soon Gretna Green weddings became so popular that

popular that the blacksmith could no longer satisfy the

demand on his own and the village had to get more "anvil priests". They were a colourful set of characters.

Слайд 9 Many had other occupations and none of them

Many had other occupations and none of them had any

had any "qualifications" to perform marriages and used Scotland's

marriage law as a way of earning extra money. If a couple had come unaccompanied, the anvil priest would often knock on a neighbour's
door — and the witnesses were quickly found.

extra-дополнительный
to satisfy the demand-удовлетворять спрос
unacconpanied-без свидетелей

If word came that an angry father (often armed with

to approach- приближаться


Слайд 11 Romances live on
The laws that brought

Romances live on  The laws that brought fame to Gretna

fame to Gretna Green no longer apply. But its

reputation is secure.
So many thousands of lovers have married at Gretna Green, that its name and traditions live in all corners of the globe. Couples have been delivered to the anvil by all kinds of transport: lorry, fire engine, horseback — you name it!

Слайд 12 Sometimes the wedding parties arrive on motorbikes dressed

Sometimes the wedding parties arrive on motorbikes dressed in black leather,

in black leather, so the only way to identify

the bride is to find out which one has got the bouquet! And, of course, traditional kilts for Scottish bride­grooms are still as popular as ever.
