Reading Practice: A. Lexico Cloze Test

My friend Laura and Ian got married last Saturday. It was a lovely wedding held in a huge tent on the village green. The bride Laura looked stunning in a white silk dress. After the ceremony, all the guests enjoyed themselves at the reception. Later, Ian had to slow down their getaway car to remove the tin cans friends had attached, which were creating noise. They plan to live in Ian's flat until finding something bigger. When I was 18, I got a job at a TV company. I had a crush on a boy who worked upstairs. Surprisingly, he invited me to a charity dinner at a nice hotel. Wanting to look my best, I spent a lot on a new outfit.
