Weekend weddings are becoming less popular
周末婚礼热度下降。
The most noticeable shift over the years has been the decline in the number of people getting married (there were 38,463 fewer weddings in 2015 than in 1995), but the timing of weddings has also changed.While weekends remain the most popular time to wed, only 58% of weddings took place on the weekend in 2015 compared with 67% in 1995.
近年来最明显的变化是结婚人数的下降(2015年的婚礼数量比1995年减少38,463次)，婚礼的日期也发生了变化。虽然周末仍然是最热门的婚礼日期，但2015年只有58%的婚礼在周末进行，而1995年这一数据为67%。
