问题     In Britain, agreements for inviting and entertaining guest at a wedding are usually the responsibility of the bride’s family. In most cases, mainly friends and relations of both families are invited. But when the bride’s father is a businessman of some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social connections with clients and customers and other people whose will may be of advantage to him. It is, however, the bride’s mother who has the job of sending the formal printed invitation cards.
    In the case of a church wedding, the vicar of each parish in which the bride and the bridegroom live is normally informed about a month advance of the ceremony so that the announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place. Anyone who may know of an existing marriage of their partner is order to give information about it, though this means of avoiding bigamy(重婚)must have been more effective in the days when people moved about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her bridesmaids, who are often children, wear long dresses in attractive colors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usually.
    The reception, which follows, may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are a few guests, in the bride’s own home. Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding cake is cut and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes off to change into the everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon. The journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad.
According to the passage, some guests may be invited because ______.
选项 A、they are likely to be annoyed if they are not
B、they may give valuable presents
C、their presence could provide future benefits
D、they may help with expense of the wedding
