into the loving eyes of her bridegroom Robert Bennett. A

chine, not Cupid. A dating agency computer had brought
them together. And Jenny and Robert are far from unique.
A staggering one in every five of Britain’s ten million single
people have used a dating agency.
a. altar: kind of photographer / part of church
b. congregation: people in church / large family party
c. match: joining of two people / marriage in church
d. unique: the only one / unhappy in love
e. staggering: lonely and unhappy / very surprising
