Summary

"A Wedding Trip" by Emilia Pardo Bazán is a story set in the late 1800s that follows Lucía, a young woman, as she begins married life with her husband, Aurelio Miranda. The story shows how class differences, relationships, and what society expects from marriage affect Lucía. Starting with Lucía's wedding day, the story paints a picture of the different social classes of the bride and groom, and Lucía's emotional goodbyes to her family. Although young and graceful, Lucía feels pressure in her new role, showing both excitement and worry about becoming a wife. At the train station, Lucía's tears mix with her eagerness for what's to come as she leaves with her husband for France. The story suggests that Lucía and Aurelio's relationship will be complicated and that Lucía will face difficulties as she tries to fit into her new life.
