Answer 1

When the wedding day arrived, everyone rose early. Aurelia is urging Marcus and Sextus so that they will hurry. Slave women are running here and there to prepare everyone.

Flavia and Vinia, the mother of him, are already being present for a long time. Soon some other friends and nearby ones were arriving. Those approaching were very happy when they saw that the door and gates are being decorated with ribbons and circles of myrtle and laurie. While entering the home they are led into the atrium, meanwhile Cornelia, clothed with a white tunic, wearing a flammeum, is waiting for them. A little later shouting and the laughing is greatly being heard. Valerius is entering with relatives and friends.

Cornelia has stood at the altar with a bride's attendant. Previously the religious rites were properly prepared, and the priest advances to sacrifice a pig. When he examines the inner organs, he said, "Everything is good." Then the wedding tablets are signed. Vinia the bride's attendant joined hands with Valerius and Cornelia. After asking Valerius, "What is your name?" Cornelia said, "When you are Gaius, I am Gaius." After this had been done, every person had exclaimed, "Good luck!"

Dinner had been prepared, so all guests had reclined, after the great dinner follows the drinking party full of hilarity.

Now it is getting dark. Cornelia is clinging with her mother, Valerius pretends to snatch her from the hands of her mother with violence. Soon she is being shown to her new home, with many guests accompanying. Five boys ran ahead to carry burning torches; the rest follow singing and laughing; they throw nuts to the children who rushed up everywhere. When they come to the house, the bride is carried over the threshold so that she wouldn't stumble.

"Cornelia is so lucky!" exclaimes Flavia.
