[應該是所謂的前言吧]:
While I am very experienced in reviewing products, I have almost no experience reviewing services so please forgive me if this is not written appropriately by comparison to other service reviews. Really I only decided to write a review of a wedding photos company because my fiancé asked me to and it’s probably not a good idea to start ignoring her requests before we even get married. I assume there will plenty of other requests from her for me to ignore down the road.
評論一般產品是我很在行的事,但我幾乎沒有評論過專業服務。因此如果本評論撰寫方式若有非屬服務評論之方式,請包容這部分的不專業(老公是電子產品copy writer也是電玩評論部落客唷)。我決定要寫這一篇評論其實是因為我的未婚妻有所要求,而且我想在還沒結婚就拒絕他的要求似乎不是個好主意吧。畢竟未來說不定還有更多我可以忽略的要求,所以我就乖乖地寫了這篇評論。
I’m not really a big fan of weddings. I don’t mean that in the cynical, men don’t like the idea of getting married sort of way, though that probably applies as well. I specifically mean that I genuinely dislike the modern wedding concept and process. You see this in movies and TV shows and hear about it from friends and relatives. Planning and executing a wedding is tremendously terrible in just about every way. It’s expensive, time consuming, and irritating. It’s a wonder many couples even make it all the way through the process of actually getting married considering how horrible the entire experience is, and the amount of arguments that take place because of the wedding before you’ve even gotten married. And I’m speaking as the groom, which means I’m only putting in a fraction of the effort that the bride is. So for me, the entire process needs to be as painless as possible while still being affordable for me to pay it any mind at all.
