Get some extra wedding help to take care of all your needs.

        Weddings can be stressful. There is a lot of pressure to make sure the event goes smoothly. Even if everything is planned out, things can still go wrong. But there are people who can help solve these problems: professional bridesmaids.

        Traditionally, bridesmaids are women who know the bride well. They could be family members or close friends. But some brides don’t have many female family members or friends, or the bride might live far away, so her friends and family can’t help with the wedding preparations. In these situations, a bride might consider hiring a professional bridesmaid.

        Professional bridesmaids are responsible for meeting the bride’s needs. They can help with anything from writing wedding invitations to handling people who make a scene at the reception. They also offer emotional support when the bride feels stressed. These professional women work with the wedding planner so that the bride can relax and enjoy her special day. The prices for hiring professional bridesmaids can vary, but they usually charge based on the bride’s requests. Having professional bridesmaids also means that the other bridesmaids can celebrate with the bride instead of trying to deal with problems that come up on the big day.

♦ even if vs. even though

even if even though 均作副詞連接詞用,引導副詞子句,修飾主要子句,但用法有別:

1. even if + S + V

*even if 為 if 的強調用法,表「即使、就算」。 *even if 後面接現在式動詞時,用來表純「條件」的假設語氣,強調無論此條件是否成立,都不影響結果。

例:Even if you take a taxi, you’ll still be late for your meeting.

即使你搭計程車,你開會還是會遲到。

2. even though + S + V

*even though 為 though 的強調用法,表「雖然」。 *even though 引導確定的狀況,表達「事實」,用來強調雖然此情況成立,但還是會有主要子句陳述的結果。

例:Even though Ethan often has fights with his girlfriend, he still loves her.

儘管伊森經常和他女友吵架,他還是愛她。
