Chapter 988: The Wedding (Part II)
During the dinner, all guests arrived in the banquet hall on time and took their seats.
Before the wedding reception begins, the best man will give a speech.
In terms of age, Zhao Rui was the eldest of the five children who participated in the show that year, and the task of giving the best man's speech was naturally handed over to Zhao Rui.
After the groomsmen gave speeches, the wedding feast officially began.
Since it is a Western-style wedding, the wedding banquet takes the form of a buffet. In addition to the variety of food and drinks, in the middle of the ballroom is a huge wedding cake with a couple of dolls on top and a large tower made of empty wine glasses.
The first step in the official start of the wedding banquet is for Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting to cut the cake together, then pour wine together, and fill the cup with champagne.
After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting completed these two items in the applause and cheers of the guests, everyone was ready to move. However, most of the guests were not in a hurry to eat, and still looked at the two people in the center of the banquet hall.
Western-style wedding banquets, banquets and balls are combined, which is why many Western-style wedding banquets are in the form of buffets.
When the banquet begins, the dance begins. According to tradition, the first dance at the wedding feast is performed by the bride and groom alone.
Sure enough, after the staff carefully pushed aside the cake and champagne tower on the cart, the host loudly announced that the bride and groom would be invited to do the first dance of the night.
Xiao Yao's wedding banquet is naturally arranged with a live band. The live band was prepared for a long time, and it had played some music when the guests arrived before the wedding reception.
After the host announced that the bride and groom would be invited to do their first dance, one of the guests, a young woman in a blue evening dress, stood up and stood up in front of a standing microphone in the band area. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting both play music, and their wedding, not only the music is played live, but even the songs are sung live.
Now someone is standing in front of Limai in the band, indicating that the background music of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's first dance is not a piece of music, but a song.
The person standing in front of the microphone was Fan Linxuan. As the first female singer to cooperate with Xiao Yao in a real sense in addition to Xiao Yao's family, she sang the song of the first dance of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's wedding banquet.
Seeing Fan Linxuan standing in front of the microphone, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting stood a little apart from each other. Seeing the two of them standing, Fan Linxuan turned her head and gestured to the guitarist next to her, and Fan Linxuan's singing and guitar sounded together.
Fan Linxuan is not singing her own song, but an English song. Fan Linxuan only sang the first sentence, and many guests could tell that she was singing Xiao Yao's song "Thinking Out Loud".
This song has been popular in China and Europe and the United States. In addition to the song itself, the music video for this song is also very impressive. Hearing this song, many people think of the MV of this song. There was a sudden burst of cheers and screams, and some people whistled excitedly.
This is at the wedding banquet, Sun Tingting is still wearing a wedding dress, it is impossible for the two to sit on the ground and lie on the ground, so it is naturally impossible to completely reproduce the dance in the MV. However, even after removing the movements of the two sitting and lying on the ground in the MV, some difficult modern dance moves and inconvenient lifting movements of Sun Tingting, and changing it to a ballroom dance mixed with some simple modern dances, the dance of the two is still very sweet, which caused continuous applause and cheers from the guests and the audience.
After dancing the first dance and thanking the guests, the two finally left the center of the ballroom and took their seats.
Then there is a relatively free and casual time, the banquet and the dance party are held at the same time, you want to eat, you want to dance, you want to dance, find a dance partner to dance, and there is a special point, there are people who go up to sing.
However, there are a lot of dancers at the banquet, and there are not many people who go up to sing. Many of the guests are professional singers, but because they are singing live, they also need to cooperate with the band, so it is not good to rush up if they are not prepared.
In addition to Fan Linxuan at the beginning, the "Daydream" band, which had the whole band to attend the wedding, went up to sing "Sugar" together, and Liang Xueying, who had been prepared and had been practicing with the band yesterday, went up to sing a love song of her own in English.
It is worth mentioning that the band Immortals, which is on a concert tour, also took advantage of the gap between the tour to attend with all their members. It's just that they are a rock band, and their songs are all rock songs, and there are no songs like "Sugar" that are suitable for singing at wedding receptions, so they don't perform on stage.
There were not many people singing, and some of the guests coaxed Xiao Yao to sing, but Xiao Yao didn't agree. Xiao Yao is the groom today, he doesn't sing on stage, and everyone can't push him up.
After more than an hour of the banquet, when no one was dancing or singing to the band, the host stood up again with a microphone and announced the wedding banquet and the last part of the wedding.
This last part is the part where the bride tosses the bouquet of flowers that did not take place during the wedding ceremony in the afternoon.
According to the tradition of Western-style weddings, the bride's bouquet is generally picked up by a single young lady on the spot, but in the Western-style wedding in China, there are also some single men who run to join in the fun and grab the flower balls with the girls. Listening to the host, several men, including Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, who were best men, also stood in a group of girls who were about to receive the flower balls.
Although the girls expressed their contempt for the boys, no one took action to drive the boys away. However, the host didn't rub the sand in his eyes, and unceremoniously invited a few boys out.
Zhao Rui and others knew that Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's wedding was relatively strictly in accordance with the traditional Western-style wedding, so they just came out to make trouble. The host opened his mouth to drive people away, and they obediently returned to their positions.
After the boys left, Sun Tingting threw a bouquet with her back to the girls, and Cheng Xi was very lucky to receive it.
After Cheng Xi was surrounded by the girls and returned to his seat, the host continued: "Okay, the lucky one among the girls has been produced, and the next is the boys! Let's see which boy will be lucky enough to receive the happiness passed on by the groom and the bride and become the next groom!"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Rui and the others asked with a shout.
"In a traditional Western wedding, the bride not only transmits happiness to the girl, but also to the boy. The host explained, "The bride's bouquet is for girls, as for boys..."
The host pointed to Sun Tingting and said: "The bride wears two sock rings on her right leg, which are the boy's "bouquet of flowers", whoever grabs it is whoever!"
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Rui said in surprise.
Different from the bride's bouquet, the bride's sock ring, the boy's version of the "bouquet", is basically absent in Western weddings in China, and very few Chinese people know about it. Although Xiao Yao knew, he didn't raise his hand and told Zhao Rui and the others.
"Yes!" the host nodded with a smile.
"Are you going to grab the sock ring?" Lin Qisan reacted quickly and shouted, "Then what are you waiting for?"
A few boys shouted, and rushed towards Sun Tingting.
Looking at the few people rushing towards her, Sun Tingting screamed in fright, and immediately grabbed Xiao Yao in front of her.
"Stop!" Xiao Yao swung his fists and made a preparatory move in the boxing, shouting at the few people who rushed over, "Don't come here!"
"Why do you want to beat someone?" Lin Qisan shouted, "The host said that it was the process of the wedding!"
"The host's words haven't finished yet, what are you anxious about?" Xiao Yao said, "The sock ring on Duo'er's leg is indeed for you, but the host said that the robbery is not for you to pick up Duo'er's leg, but for me, the groom, to take it off her leg, and then I will throw it to you like she just threw a bouquet of flowers." Whoever of you receives it is whoever, and at that time it was the so-called robbery. ”
"Really?" several people turned to look at the host.
"Yes!" the host nodded with some regret.
In fact, in the traditional Western-style weddings in the past, it was indeed the male guests who rushed up and grabbed the sock rings directly from the bride's legs. However, because this behavior was a bit rude and easy to frighten the bride, it was later changed to the groom taking the stocking rings from the bride's legs and throwing them to the male guests. The host deliberately said that before, just to mention the atmosphere, and the real execution tonight has already been said to follow the tradition behind.
"Okay!" Zhao Rui and the others saw that the host said this, so they had to stop and said to Xiao Yao, "Then you can take it quickly, we will wait for you to throw it!"
"But," the host continued, "the bridegroom did not take the socks from the bride's lap casually. The groom must remove the socks from the bride's legs with his mouth, and only with his mouth, not with his hands. ”
"Wow~" As soon as the host said this, everyone became excited, and several guys let out a strange scream.
Xiao Yao shook his head with a wry smile and walked to the banquet next to him. Xiao Yao knew this rule, and in order to prevent those guys from getting started directly, he could only follow the method the host said.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Rui shouted, "Didn't you use your mouth to take the sock ring? Why did you leave? If you leave, we will snatch it from Duo'er ourselves!"
"Grab a chair and let Duo'er sit down!" Xiao Yao turned around and said, "You can't use your hands, where can you take it while standing like this?"
Sun Tingting was wearing a wedding dress, with a long skirt underneath, and her legs with stocking rings were in the skirt. When she was standing, Xiao Yao couldn't take off the sock ring with just her mouth and hands. Zhao Rui and the others thought about it, so they didn't stop it anymore.
"Come on!" Xiao Yao moved a chair and put it beside Sun Tingting, asked Sun Tingting to sit down, and then knelt in front of Sun Tingting on one knee.
"Oh~" Seeing that Xiao Yao was about to take the sock ring with his mouth, the guests all shouted loudly.
Sun Tingting also knows that there is such an item in a Western-style wedding. But even if she knew, when the host said it, Sun Tingting still lowered her head a little embarrassed. When Xiao Yao moved the chair and pressed her to sit down on the chair, she was already shy and covered her face with her hands.
"Cooperate with it!" Xiao Yao whispered to Sun Tingting.
Hearing this, Sun Tingting moved down with one hand covering her face, covering her mouth, revealing her eyes, and the other hand was lowered and pressed the skirt at the position of her left thigh, and at the same time raised her right foot up.
Seeing Sun Tingting holding down half of her skirt to prevent it from going out, Xiao Yao bent down and lowered her head to bite the skirt on Sun Tingting's right leg and pull it up. Sun Tingting immediately stretched out her fingers to press the skirt that was pulled up, and quietly helped Xiao Yao pull it up together.
With Sun Tingting's secret cooperation and help, Xiao Yao quickly pulled the hem on the right side of the skirt above the knee of Sun Tingting's right leg. The two socks worn by Sun Tingting were just above the knee of her right leg not far from the knee, and they were also exposed at this time.
In the continuous coaxing of everyone at the scene, Xiao Yao bit a sock ring and pulled down Sun Tingting's leg. Sun Tingting, who was sitting in the chair, lifted her right calf to a straight line with her thigh, and Xiao Yao did not take off the sock ring with great difficulty.
As soon as Xiao Yao let go, the sock ring in his mouth fell off. Xiao Yao stretched out a hand to take it in his hand, knelt beside Sun Tingting and took off the other sock ring as he could.
"Okay, line up!" Xiao Yao pinched the two sock rings in his hands and said to the boys who were watching the excitement.
Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan and others quickly stood in a row. Xiao Yao turned his back, quietly tied the two sock rings in his hand together, and then threw them behind him.
Several boys all stretched out their hands to grab the flying sock ring, and finally the sock ring fell into Lin Qisan's hand.
"Mine!" Lin Qisan shouted excitedly.
"If you dare to put it under your nose and smell it, I will definitely kill you!" Xiao Yao pointed at Lin Qisan and threatened.
"Huh?" Lin Qisan was slightly stunned, and then showed a hint of playfulness.
"San'er, what are you afraid of? Just smell it and show him!" Zhou Zhihao immediately instigated, "This is the original flavor!"
"Nina, San'er grabbed the sock ring, when are we going to drink your wine?" Sun Tingting found that Lin Qisan's expression seemed to be about to move, and asked Nina Aiyiguli loudly.
"Nina?" Lin Qisan came to his senses instantly, immediately ran to Nina's side, stuffed the sock ring in his hand into Nina's hand, and said with a flattering smile, "Look, I grabbed the sock ring thrown out by Bayi, and the next pair of positive results will definitely be us." ”
The socks are all in Nina's hands, and Lin Qisan naturally can't smell them anymore. Zhou Zhihao said to Lin Qisan with disdain: "Lin Qisan, you are a coward!"
"Get out!" Lin Qisan fought back without showing weakness, "You are the only single dog among us! You don't even have a girlfriend, what qualifications do you have to speak?"
Zhao Rui noticed that Zhu Zitong next to Nina looked at the sock ring on Nina's hand with an envious expression, patted Zhou Zhihao and said, "Don't make trouble!
"Hurry up, throw another one!" Zhao Rui moved his shoulders and said to Xiao Yao.
"What's the other one?" Xiao Yao said with a puzzled expression.
"Sock rings!" Zhao Rui said, "Didn't you take off two sock rings from Duo'er's legs?"
"Oh, I tied the two sock rings together, they are all in San'er's hands, no, Nina's hands!" Xiao Yao pointed to Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli.
"Why do you want to tie them together?" Zhao Rui said dissatisfied, "It's also the traditional rule of Western-style weddings?"
"It doesn't seem to be such a statement," Xiao Yao said, "I just think that the bride's bouquet is only one, and it can only be given to one person, so the men's sock ring should only be given to one person, fair!"
"You..."Zhao Rui pointed at Xiao Yao, not knowing what to say.
The bride's bouquet and the groom's socks are the last process of the dinner and the last process of the whole wedding today. Once this step is completed, tonight's dinner and today's wedding are completely over.
Neuschwanstein Castle does not offer accommodation. After the dinner, all the guests drove back to the hotel in Fesson to rest.
After the wedding, most of the guests left early the next morning, but there were a few more idle people who felt that the environment was good and planned to stay here for another two days, so they did not leave immediately.
Because it is a Western-style wedding, it is still held outside, and there are no traditional Chinese ceremonies such as the bride and groom serving tea to her in-laws early the morning after the wedding, and the bride and groom returning to their parents' homes three days later. This point was agreed by the parents of both parties in advance, so Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not need to return to China immediately and go home.
Of course, the two of them didn't want to stay in Felsen. According to the original plan, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting were going to set off directly from Fesson for their honeymoon.
When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting officially confirmed their relationship on Zhedong TV, Xiao Yao promised to take Sun Tingting to Africa to see lions and go to the North Pole to be an Eskimo. It's okay to go to Africa to see lions, but it's okay to go to the North Pole to be an Eskimo, but it's a good choice to go to see the aurora, so their original plan was to go to Africa and Northern Europe. But for some reason, the two changed, or it could be said that they canceled their honeymoon plans.
The day after the wedding, the two gathered all those close to them for a meeting in Füssen's hotel, announced a decision, and flew to the United States in the midst of everyone's shocked eyes.
