13-05-2025 15:00
Judith and Ivan are a couple. Judith is from Germany. Ivan is from Uganda. They want to marry. But it is hard in Germany. It costs a lot of money and takes a long time. So they go to Denmark.
In Denmark, it is easy. They send papers online. After five days, they get an answer. They go to a town. The town is Ribe. They take their passports. They also show that they are a couple. The wedding is fast and happy.
Now Judith and Ivan are married. Germany says the wedding is okay. They can stay together in Germany. They smile and feel good. They love each other. They say thank you to Denmark.
Difficult words: passport (an official document with personal information and a photograph which allows you to travel to another country), couple (two people who love each other), wedding (a day when people get married).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Which items did Judith and Ivan bring with them to the town of Ribe for their wedding?
