Fanwai (1): Mr. and Mrs. Lu
After Lu Huaishen and Jiang Ruo returned home from the Lion City, they finalized the wedding date, and the date was set for Jiang Ruo's birthday more than a month later, February 23.
Jiang Ruo wanted the wedding to be low-key and simple, so according to her preferences, Lu Huaishen asked Pei Shao to select some suitable places for the wedding, and finally set the place to be held on a small island in a cherry blossom country in the South Pacific.
It is a place that Jiang Ruo once looked forward to, but missed.
Jiang Ruo originally thought that it would not be bad to hold a simple garden wedding in Jiang Erye's holiday villa.
Later, Lu Huaishen showed her the concept photos of the island wedding, and she was so moved that she suddenly changed her mind.
Due to the many details of wedding preparation and the tight time, more manpower and material resources have to be invested.
At the beginning, except for the engagement dress, Jiang Ruo didn't care about the rest, and Lu Huaishen arranged it.
The wedding dress and dress were designed by a Parisian haute couture wedding dress designer invited by Lu Huai and Ji Lanzhi.
Lu Huaishen asked her what requirements she had for the wedding dress, and she could communicate with the designer in advance. In other parts of the wedding, he can make some surprises, but he thinks that the wedding dress should be according to Jiang Ruo's preferences.
"I don't have any special requirements," Jiang Ruo looked very casual, very attentively teasing the full socks lying on the bed and lifting her legs, and after a while she said: "I thought about it, don't drag the skirt too much, but it's better to have a long veil, not a multi-layer puffy skirt, it's better to cut it close-fitting, the skirt is not gauzy, and more satin elements are the best." โ
Lu Huaishen was amused by her, "The requirements are indeed not special, but they are quite a lot." โ
Not only that, but at the same time as Jiang Ruo said his idea for the wedding dress, he also thought about what style Lu Huaishen's wedding dress should be.
Tuxedo or tuxedo, British tuxedo or American tuxedo, English tusto, and English lapels seem to be more temperamental, but she is very fond of French double-breasted.
Or is the tuxedo more ceremonial?
Lu Huaishen heard that his head was big, and he said tentatively: "Is it okay to wear a dress for banquets?"
Jiang Ruo clasped his hands and smiled meaningfully, "Do you think our wedding is similar to the banquet you usually attend?"
Lu Huaishen: "...... I think it can be matched according to the final style of your wedding dress, what do you think?"
Jiang Ruo couldn't think of a better answer for a while, so he had to say, "I think it's okay." โ
After that, Jiang Ruo felt that Lu Huaishen was becoming more and more a chicken thief, and the two had several differences of opinion on several sets of dresses for ceremonies and banquets, and whenever this happened, Lu Huaishen would throw the problem at her, never giving affirmations, either "What do you think?", or "I believe in your aesthetics", and even "as long as you choose, I like it".
Jiang Ruo not only grasped the decision-making power, but also affirmed her vision, which simply satisfied her self-confidence and vanity in all aspects.
In fact, Lu Huaishen didn't care about what he was wearing at all, he had long had the consciousness that "wedding photos and weddings are just the background and women's fashion items".
After Jiang Ruo found out that it was boring, he deliberately found multiple sets of clothes that seemed to be similar in style, but in fact the details were completely different for him to choose.
Lu Huaishen's clothes before marriage were purchased or customized by Pei Shao, and they were matched and put in the closet. His preference is nothing more than black, white, grey and dark tones, and the tie can allow for slightly more prominent colors, such as burgundy.
After being together, Jiang Ruo will also buy clothes for him from time to time, and his aesthetics are actually similar to Lu Huaishen, but they are more youthful.
So Lu Huaishen has never bothered to choose clothes.
Jiang Ruo is simply giving him a problem now.
He was asked too many questions by Pei Shao during the day, such as "what color and type of wedding flowers should I want", "what color should I want for the wedding background", except for what he confirmed, every time he used the elimination method to choose Jiang Ruo's favorite.
Now looking at the suit she gave, at a glance, first of all, he can basically determine that Jiang Hao likes black, because black is the majority, and then guess further, she likes satin, because her wedding dress emphasizes satin elements, so she chose a satin-trimmed LinkedIn style tuxedo.
Jiang Ruo stared at the picture on the tablet, supporting her cheeks and frowning, "Hmm......"
Lu Huaishen chuckled in his heart, and then heard her say, "Husband, don't you think a tuxedo is better?"
Lu Huaishen's entire army was annihilated.
Jiang Ruo unknowingly joined in the preparation process of the wedding, all out of curiosity.
said that she would leave it all to Lu Huaishen to arrange, but she didn't ask, but today you asked the wedding cake, did you decide, is it fondant or cream? Tomorrow I asked what should be put in the gift box of the souvenir? After a while, I asked the guests how you arranged the flight?
Since then, Lu Huaishen has known that Jiang Ruo can't hold back his curiosity, and every time he determines the details of the next wedding, he will inform Jiang Ruo, of course, except for the surprise part, if she is not satisfied, she will do it according to her wishes.
A month before the wedding, the two had to go to the wedding venue in advance to take wedding photos and inspect the environment by the way.
Jiang Ruo has no obsession with wedding photos, Lu Huaishen has a lot of work on weekdays, and Jiang Ruo can't bear to compress his time, so he only took a set of photos as a souvenir. If it weren't for the wedding, Jiang Ruo might not have thought of taking wedding photos. She has never been very enthusiastic about pomp and circumstance.
During the preparation period for the wedding, Jiang Ruo's mood was quite calm, except for feeling cumbersome, there was no tension at all about the approaching wedding date.
A few days before the wedding, when the wedding dresses and dresses made by the designer were delivered one after another, she was nervously panicked as the person concerned.
Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen set off two days in advance, in addition to Qiao Hui and Cheng Xiao, there were also Ji Lanzhi's family and Aunt Wu, who was in charge of bringing the full house, to the same time.
With a five-hour time difference between local and domestic flights, plus 20 hours of flight and transfer time, the arrival was the morning before the wedding. The rest of the guests will arrive in the afternoon and tomorrow morning, depending on their schedules.
The sun is shining outside, and you can see the blue sea dotted with green islands and trailing beaches in the sky, and the picture of sun, sea and blue sky is quiet but full of fascinating attraction.
Stepping out of the cabin, a wave of humidity and heat hit your face.
Enthusiastic locals have a special welcome ceremony, singing folk songs to welcome passengers off the plane, and giving each person a necklace full of island flowers.
Take the car to the pier and fly the group to the island.
For this wedding, in addition to the wedding company, the offline team of Fangye Public Relations Company strictly controlled the wedding, responsible for arranging the itinerary of the couple and guests, and coordinating all links.
The island is a private island, the size is considerable, and the setting of one island and one hotel is private, and no one outside the wedding will come to the island in the days before and after the wedding rental.
Lu Huaishen and Jiang Ruo were the first to arrive, and the island had already begun to build a venue for tomorrow's ceremony, and the staff were busy before and after, and they did not seem to be deserted.
After lunch, Jiang Ruo wanted to check with the staff about the guest rooms, seats and meals, and then confirm the details of tomorrow. As a result, she was stopped by Ji Lanzhi, saying that she and Lu Huaishen would be responsible, and then pushed Jiang Ruo to go to a full-body spa.
At this wedding, Lu Huaishen and Jiang Ruo only invited close relatives and friends, about more than 100 people. In the evening, most of the guests have arrived, and after dark, the guests come out for dinner after a short rest, and the atmosphere gradually warms up with a bonfire in the hotel's open-air restaurant.
He Zongming prepared a bachelorette party at the bar, pulled Lu Huaishen away early, and Jiang Ruo also went back to the room, thinking about going to bed early and recuperating his spirits.
As a result, because of the jet lag, I fell asleep soundly in the afternoon and woke up after two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen were going to stay in different rooms this night, she was curious about what activities Lu Huaishen's bachelorette party had, such as whether there were any strippers, she actually wanted to know if Lu Huaishen had taken off.
She didn't believe that He Zongming wouldn't do anything.
So Jiang Ruo interrogated Lu Huaishen, and Wang Zhao went to explore He Zongming's mouth.
As a result, the island is restricted from entering and exiting, and the bars are limited to alcohol and bands. And what kind of bachelor party, all of them are married men, among them is Lu Chong, a real bachelor, and everyone concentrates their firepower to drink Lu Chong down.
Jiang Ruo hugged his mobile phone and watched the video sent by Lu Huaishen, pitiful, the bachelor party and even the waiters were all men's configurations.
Jiang Ruo didn't care about her anymore, and chatted with Wang Zhao until one o'clock in the morning, but he couldn't resist before falling asleep.
Who knew that when I fell asleep for a while, I felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and my chest seemed to be pressed by something, and I gradually woke up, only to see Manman lying on top of her, revealing two small teeth, and when I touched my chest, my clothes were wet and full of saliva.
Jiang Ruo was a little broken, full of ignorance, and when she woke up, her mouth happily uttered a monosyllable: "Ma!
While shouting, he also patted Jiang Ruo's face with his fleshy hand, squirming to kiss her face.
Jiang Ruo was so sleepy that he regretted it a little, Qiao Hui said that when he let Man Man sleep with her tonight, he should agree, at this time everyone was asleep, and it was not easy to disturb, so he had to call Lu Huaishen for help.
Awakened full of sleep and full of energy, Lu Huaishen pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window behind Jiang Ruo's room, like a thief.
Jiang Ruo lay on the bed and put his son beside him, and when he saw his father, he was even more excited and kicked his legs and screamed: "Dad-"
Lu Huaishen half-knelt on the bed, didn't care about the little one, and kissed the big one.
Jiang Ruo was so noisy that he almost cried, and smelled him, only a faint smell of wine, "You go take a bath, I'll look at him for a while, and wait for you to bring him over." โ
Lu Huaishen's voice was low and clear after drinking, "I'll sleep here tonight." โ
Jiang Ruo was about to say that Wang Zhaohe's makeup artist was coming over early, but he said, "I'll leave when you wake up before dawn." โ
After Lu Huaishen finished speaking, he turned his head and picked up the mischievous guy and slapped him on the buttocks, "Little villain." โ
Manman thought that Lu Huaishen was playing with him, and he was even more happy, squinting his eyes and laughing so much that his nose wrinkled.
Jiang Ruo fell asleep quickly this time, Lu Huaishen was full of coaxing outside, and when he was also sleepy, he hugged him back to the bed and closed his eyes together for a while.
After seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ruo woke up, and Lu Huaishen was no longer around.
Then came the makeup artist, photographer, Wang Zhao, Qiao Hui and Ji Lanzhi came in one after another, Jiang Ruo didn't sleep well at night, the whole person was dizzy, and after washing, he let others put on makeup and eat.
Jiang Ruo's bridesmaid was Wang Zhao, and the best man didn't need to be found, so He Zongming took the initiative to rush to it.
The wedding is a chore, Jiang Ruo is nervous and highly excited, but he doesn't feel sleepy, and there are no other bells and whistles in the kissing process, except for the excitement when the door is blocked, which can be regarded as a reduction in the burden.
After that, it is time to change into a wedding dress and hold a ceremony.
The wedding dress is completely in line with Jiang Ruo's expectations, the skirt is mainly satin, the back and long sleeves are made of heavy hollow lace, designed according to her height, wearing high heels, the skirt just touches the ground 20 centimeters.
Since she didn't have a father, Jiang Ruo decided not to let anyone else take over this role from the beginning, so she wore a wedding dress and walked to Lu Huaishen alone in the eyes of the guests.
In fact, the road without a father is not so difficult.
She was dressed in her favorite wedding dress, draped in a white veil, with the people she loved at the end of the road, her family and friends sitting in the guest seats, and the curious and innocent eyes of her beloved baby.
But in this situation, she could only think of Cheng Dong.
The man who would lift her high on his shoulders as a child like most fathers do.
Even if his face changed and his eyes were dull later, there was still a corner of her heart that would forever preserve his most high-spirited appearance.
Jiang Ruo's eyes were warm, through the veil, it was more like seeing flowers in the fog, she was careful under her feet, so the journey was not very easy.
When she was a step away, Lu Huaishen stretched out her hand to catch her.
In an instant, she seemed to have walked through thousands of rivers and mountains, and finally had a smooth road.
The witness was Liu Ming, he spoke slowly and solemnly read the oath, and finally when Jiang Ruo said "I do", Liu Ming secretly wiped his eyes, and then choked up and continued: "Please exchange rings between the bride and groom." โ
The two exchanged rings, Lu Huaishen lifted her veil, Jiang Ruo saw his face clearly, just like when he first saw him, he felt his heart beat faster, and after looking straight for two seconds, she lowered her eyes suddenly.
Lu Huaishen held her face and gently printed her lips.
At the appreciation banquet in the evening, Jiang Ruo changed into a champagne-colored bandeau dress, and at the dinner, people who had witnessed her and Lu Huaishen's emotional experience all came to the stage to express their feelings and blessings, which made Jiang Ruo's tear ducts a little out of control.
The funniest is He Zongming, the most touching is Qiao Hui, and the most resentful is Cheng Xiao.
After Cheng Xiao went to college, his humor cells and hurtful skills grew rapidly, and he simply staged a "Lu Huaishen Criticism Talk Show", and the conclusion was: It's really a blessing for you to marry my sister in this way, no matter what, I still wish you happiness, after all, whether you are happy or not is directly related to my sister's happiness or not.
After the guests finished speaking, Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen thanked everyone, thinking that this should be the end.
Lu Huaishen suddenly knocked on the cup, gathered everyone's attention, picked up the microphone again and said, "Actually, there is a special link next." Not long ago, I thought that as long as the relationship between the two parties had a soul, there was no need to talk about it all the time, but after some things, I knew that feelings should not be stingy to express, after all, time is fleeting, and the face is easy to age, and this moment is the best. But neither I nor Jiang Ruo are people who like to express their hearts too much......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Ruo spread his hands in shock, Lu Huaishen took her hand and changed his words: "Okay, I admit it, it's just that I'm still a little unaccustomed to expressing it." So, there is the next song for today...... Song. โ
Jiang Ruo was shocked in place.
She vaguely knew what Lu Huaishen was discussing with the person in charge of the wedding in private, and she guessed that it would be a secret surprise. But I never expected that Lu Huaishen could sing.
You must know that on weekdays, he didn't want to let him hum a tune, Jiang Ruo thought he was incomplete in five tones, but she later found a commemorative photo of him winning a school singing competition when he was a child in the photo album at the bottom of the storage box on the top floor of the study.
After that, he wanted him to sing a song to her, but he could always find various reasons to refuse, which was a regret for Jiang Ruo.
The thank-you banquet does not have to be a formal wedding ceremony, everyone is wearing all kinds of dresses, holding cups in their hands, as soon as Lu Huaishen said that he wanted to sing, the crowd began to coax.
Lu Huaishen chose that there was no prelude to this song, and he looked at Jiang Ruo almost singing the first sentence of the first sentence.
It's Edยท Sheeran's "thinking/out/loud", a song that is quite suitable for couples to confess, was once looped in a single when Jiang Ruo was driving.
Lu Huaishen is a very typical American pronunciation, it will be a little lazy, and it is not as high as the original sound, low and shallow, and it is really not the incomplete five tones that Jiang Ruo imagined.
He sings: "And/darlin/I/will/be/lovin/you/til/lwe're/70,baby/my/heart/could/still/fall/as/hard/at/26.
The crowd was restless and unaware of the changes in the lyrics, Jiang Ruo was extremely attentive and serious, and immediately heard the difference.
The original phrase here is: "My heart is still beating as hard as it did when I met you at the age of 23." โ
The tears she held back during the wedding ceremony were difficult to suppress at the moment.
When Jiang Ruo returned to the Jiang family at the age of seventeen, Lu Huaishen was twenty-six years old.
Jiang Ruo recalled the past like a dream, and now Lu Huaishen sang to her in a low and affectionate voice.
The lyrics say, "I just want you to know that I love you so much." โ
"I've been wondering how people fall in love without even knowing it, maybe it's all meant to be. โ
