[婚禮] Second service

[LleyHewitt (Holy Arsenal)]

Second service
BRUCE WILSON11jul04
TENNIS players Lleyton Hewitt and Kim Clijsters seem likely to get married
twice, with ceremonies in Adelaide and Belgium to keep both families happy.

The question is: when? There was a widespread rumour last weekend that the
two were to have a swift and secret ceremony in Belgium to put an end to
speculation. "That was never really on," a friend said.

One London newspaper speculated there was a "mystery" why Clijsters, 21,
did not sit in the players' friends' box on centre court during Hewitt's
matches at Wimbledon. It sparked talk of a rift between her and Hewitt's
mother Cherilyn over the wedding plans.

However, the reason was not so much a rift as Clijsters making room for
others who rarely get the thrill of sitting in those seats.

It was noted that Cherilyn and Kim ate at separate tables in the players'
restaurant. The explanation for that was that Kim and Cherilyn were seeing
any amount of each other at home.

Plans for the wedding are so advanced that Clijsters' dress is being made.
The window of opportunity seems to be somewhere between late October and
February.

February is favourite – a wedding then would allow each to play in the
Australian Open in January before leaving for Europe and the annual
claycourt schedule.

Hewitt, 23, has been quoted as saying he is leaving the plans to his
fiancee: "I'll just rock up, mate – she can organise it."

Friends of both said Clijsters was determined to have at least one grand
event, with six bridesmaids and other assorted attendants. But whether
there will be two on such a scale remains uncertain.

During Wimbledon it was made clear there would be a wedding in her home
town of Bilzen, in the Belgium province of Limburg, while Hewitt's
ever-present parents were insisting on an Adelaide event.

What makes Bilzen favourite for the first ceremony is that Clijsters has
chosen a local dressmaker, Nicky Vankets, 25, from nearby Beverlo, to make
her dress.

Clijsters is a local heroine in Belgium and is under pressure from her
Dutch-speaking community to get married there.

And, of course, there is pressure from her parents, Leo and Els.
Glynn and Cherilyn Hewitt are known throughout the tennis world – with a
mixture of affection and exasperation – as "the Griswolds" and can be
argumentative and fractious over what is best for their son.

They can be amiable and are unmistakable in their shorts, tennis shirts
and baseball caps. But nobody denies they threw a protective blanket over
Lleyton from which he has taken time to emerge.

The Hewitts have used their influence to separate their son from the
media, especially the Australian media. He still refuses virtually all
requests for one-on-one interviews, though he is both informative and
amusing in his compulsory post-match press conferences.

He seems often to be ill-advised. For instance, he barred Australian
tennis writers from his pre-Wimbledon briefing at Queen's Club,
in London, while admitting the British press, who simply carried
our tape-recorders in for us.

Those who have observed him over the years give Clijsters great credit
for taking what might be called the larrikin edge off him.

"He is a much more adult and happy man since Kim," said a senior former
Australian player and coach.

Lleyton和Kim看樣子要請兩攤才能讓兩家子皆大歡喜
有謠傳他們倆上週末已經在比利時秘密進行婚禮，不過有朋友跳出來說沒這回事
有倫敦報紙推測溫布頓期間Kim沒有待在家屬包廂幫Hewitt加油，反而是坐在其他
的地方，是因為她和Lleyton的媽媽Cherilyn在婚禮計畫的討論上擦出一些火花，
還有人注意到她們倆在選手餐廳用餐時，是坐在不同的桌子上
溫布頓期間關於婚禮的地點似乎漸漸明朗化，可能在Kim的家鄉Bilzen的一間小教堂，
而Hewitt的爸媽似乎也堅持在阿德雷德舉行
(以上都是八卦和謠言XD(逃~))
Hewitt曾經說過他會把婚禮的安排全權交給Kim處理，到時他只會負責出席婚禮而已
唯一可以確定的是，來自比利時Beverlo，25歲的Nicky Vankets擔任婚紗設計師，
且Kim的婚紗也已經著手製作
婚禮可能在八月底到二月這段時間舉行，最有可能是在二月，就是在一月的澳洲
公開賽後，到他們前往歐洲參加紅土賽事之前的這段時間

"自從有了Kim，他變成一個更成熟且更快樂的男人了"

I read a post elsewhere that said Kim had a few girlfriends with her
sometimes at Wimbledon, so she watched some matches with them and ate
with them.
這一段是Lleytonland的球迷補充的
某倫敦報社大概推斷錯誤了吧XD
Kim有一些女性朋友在溫布頓期間和她一起看比賽吃飯
所以才沒有和Lleyton的媽一起
