Chapter 237: The Big Wedding (I)

At the end of the song, several girls present were immersed in the ordinary but sweet love in the lyrics.

"This is a song written by the groom for the bride with the deepest love and the most delicate brushstrokes! Is the bride very moved? Should I express it!" Lin Yuhao, the best man, began to set off the atmosphere at the right time, and he told the origin of the song, which attracted the amazing eyes of all the girls.

"Brother-in-law, you are so good, you can also write songs!" Zhong Chuhong's two younger sisters already had little stars of worship in their eyes.

"You're still too young to understand the power of love!" Li Ke naturally wanted to put gold on his younger brother.

"kiss!kiss!" Marven, a foreigner, also coaxed on the side.

Zhong Chuhong closed his eyes a little shyly, Li Xuan naturally wouldn't fail to understand such an obvious hint. He Li Ke gently wrapped his fiancée's slender waist, lowered his head slightly, and gently kissed the delicate head and two delicate red lips. After a long wet kiss, Li Xuan let Zhong Chuhong, who was slightly gasping, gently break free from his arms.

"You can't just lead the bride out like this!" Li Xuan pulled Zhong Chuhong and prepared to go out, but the best men next to him didn't do it.

Li Xuan glanced at his fiancée, and then grabbed her sideways. Zhong Chuhong exclaimed softly and shyly, burying her head deep in her fiancé's chest. From the door of Zhong's house to the elevator, and then downstairs to the gate outside the building, there are flaming roses on both sides of the way. At the moment when Li Xuan left the building, the salute and firecrackers that had been prepared for a long time rang out.

Picking up the New Year from Chung's house, the wedding car drove to Edinburgh Place in Central. Due to the large number of onlookers. The Central Police Station has temporarily placed traffic under control at a number of junctions around Edinburgh Place. Behind Edinburgh Place is the Hong Kong City Hall, and in front of it is the famous Queen's Pier in Hong Kong. Yesterday. It was here that Li Xuan greeted several important dignitaries who had arrived in Hong Kong by sea.

Edinburgh Place is also the preferred location for important events held by the Hong Kong government and the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, but at the moment, many citizens gathered on the square and on the open-air platform of the nearby car park, ready to catch a glimpse of Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong. The police specially opened a special passage for the wedding car, and the black extended Cadillac drove directly to the entrance of the high seat of the City Hall before stopping.

At the strong request of media reporters, the police set aside a photo area at the distance between the drop-off point and the door, and a large number of photojournalists had already set up long guns and short guns. From the moment the two new cars stepped out of the door, the flashing lights began to shine non-stop. Wiped out countless films in an instant.

Li Xuan took Zhong Chuhong and walked into the Great Hall elegantly and calmly. The Marriage Registry is located on the first floor, and the Registrar of Marriages has prepared two copies of the marriage certificate based on the notice of intended marriage submitted by the two couples.

The whole process is actually quite simple. In addition to the bride and groom, Li Xuan's eldest brother Li Ke and bridesmaid He Chaoqiong, as two witnesses, also signed the marriage certificate respectively. The Registrar of Marriages gave one of them to the newlyweds. Another copy of the archive is rooted. The two officially became legal husband and wife.

Marriage certificates in Hong Kong do not have festive red covers, just thin pages. Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong hugged each other gently, and one of them stretched out a hand and displayed the marriage certificate on his chest. Two photographers who were allowed to enter the marriage registry office made an exception and quickly pressed the shutter to record this sacred moment.

The most cutting-edge area of Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui, has been under large-scale traffic control since 12 noon. A one-kilometre stretch of Salisbury Road near the Renaissance Hotel. It was temporarily closed, and only the vehicles of the guests attending the Li family's wedding banquet were allowed to enter and exit.

More than 500 police officers, including plainclothes and uniformed officers, have been stationed in West Kowloon District. Deployed around the Renaissance Hotel, the strict security process can be said to be five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post. The level of VIPs attending Li Xuan's wedding this time was too high, and the vice president of the United States, the British crown prince, the governor of Hong Kong and Macao, the consuls of various countries in Hong Kong, as well as the elites of Hong Kong's political, business, and academic circles were almost all wiped out.

In order to avoid accidents, the Hong Kong Police Force has raised the alert level of the area around Tsim Sha Tsui East to the highest level, and has also arranged a detachment of the Special Missions Company near the hotel to be on standby at any time to deal with possible emergencies. The Special Task Company is the most elite counter-terrorism unit of the Hong Kong Police Force, and this unit is also known as the Hong Kong Flying Tigers.

"This inspection is too careful!" said a man with a reporter's ID tag on his chest, looking at his backpack that had been turned over a little messy, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Behind him, another bearded man with a tripod on his shoulder and a long-lens camera on his chest smiled disapprovingly and said: "You don't look at who is here today! If an accident happens, it is likely to be an international incident, and those gangs of ghosts in the police department dare not take risks! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Britain has three longs and two shorts, how can the Governor of Hong Kong explain to their Majesty the Queen!"

The two chuckled a few times, and there was clearly not much reverence for the British royal family in their words. And the identification badges on their chests show that the two are reporters from Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao. Ta Kung Pao is one of the three major leftist newspapers in Hong Kong, so naturally it does not have much affection for Britain.

"Alas, it's still too late!" the bearded man sighed a little depressedly.

Before the two of them reached the photography area, they could already see a dense network of long guns and short cannons not far away. The interior of the Renaissance Hotel, where the wedding was held, was not open to the media, and even Li Xuan's own Asian TV station was denied admission to film.

As a result, all journalists are only allowed to conduct interviews and photographs in a specially designated media and photography area outside the hotel. However, all guests will pass through the interview area after getting off the bus to meet the reporter's interview and photo requirements. As for whether the guests are willing to cooperate, it depends on their respective wishes.

"Old Wei, you came a little late today, and the good seats have been snatched up!" Wei Changan, a photojournalist from Ta Kung Pao, had just walked to the photo area when other reporters greeted him with a smile.

"You two move a little bit, help me get out of the empty spot, and I'll have a treat for supper tonight!"

Wei Changan gestured to two of the reporters he knew well. The two moved their cameras to the side, leaving him with an area to set up a tripod.

"Did you see, my own son is different, he is in his own right, and he doesn't need to be crowded with us!" said one of them, pointing to several ATV videographers who were setting up their cameras not far away.

Wei Changan looked over there, shook his head again, and said: "What about my own son, can't I just watch it outside! If Zhou Liang Shuyi has the ability to convince his boss to set up the camera in the main banquet hall of the hotel and broadcast it live, tonight's ratings will definitely report!"

"That's right, they're better and more spacious than us, and they don't actually get a lot of scoops!" said the other with a nod.

In addition to the local media in Hong Kong, many media in Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, and even the United Kingdom and the United States have sent special reporters to report for the reporters. Wei Changan glanced around and found several white faces.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong changed into new red dresses and stood at the entrance of the banquet hall to wait for the arrival of the guests. The invitation card sent out before had the words "Waiting at 3 o'clock, entering the table at 8 o'clock" to inform the guests of the time of the dinner. The first to come were relatives and friends from both sides, and both families specially greeted their relatives, hoping that everyone would come early to avoid coming too late and encountering the peak of the arrival of guests, which would cause congestion.

Today, there are thousands of guests, and the whole process takes five hours from the beginning of the welcome to the official opening of the table. Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong, the newlyweds, need to stand at the entrance of the banquet hall most of the time and accept the blessings of every guest. As you can imagine, getting married is never easy, but a painful endurance race. Therefore, Li Xuan didn't want to set up a three-day flowing water banquet at all, and would rather make the scale larger and finish it in one day.

Guests who arrive early will not be bored, and the hotel has already set up hundreds of tables of mahjong. Playing mahjong before drinking wine is also a major feature of Hong Kong and Macao. This is mainly due to the fact that most of the wedding banquets in Hong Kong have a long waiting time for guests, so the banquet will start very late. For such a large-scale banquet as the Li family, it is very early to set the sitting time at eight o'clock.

If guests don't like to play mahjong, the hotel's various banquet halls also prepare a wealth of programs, singing, western bands, acrobatics, dance, the atmosphere is lively and wonderful. Of course, quieter guests can also head to the open lawn behind the hotel, where elegant cold meals are prepared. Before the wedding reception, drink a glass of red wine, eat a few cakes, enjoy the gentle breeze, enjoy the view of Victoria Harbour, chat with others about current affairs and finance, or talk about shopping mall cooperation.

"The muscles in both cheeks of my face are cramping, it turns out that there is no greater pain in the world than a smile!" Li Xuan hugged his wife for comfort.

The two have just changed into a new set of dresses, and the styling consultant has prepared more than a dozen dresses for them before, and they have to change their outfits one by one today. Basically, I change the set every hour or two, which is really a toss-up. What is more painful than changing clothes is smiling, and since he came to the hotel, Li Xuan has been laughing non-stop. When every guest arrives, they should smile when they shake hands, smile when they take a group photo, and smile when they see each other enter.

Li Xuan felt that he had laughed more times today than in the previous twenty years combined, and the muscles on his face had become more and more stiff with laughter. Zhong Chuhong gently rubbed Li Xuan's cheeks with both hands with tenderness, and the two of them only had a chance to warm up for a moment in the dressing room.

"Let's go, the guests are almost here! It is said that there are hundreds of reporters outside the hotel, and they have to go out and let them take some pictures!"

Li Xuan held Zhong Chuhong's face and gave him a hot kiss, and then the two adjusted their mood and walked out of the locker room with radiance. (To be continued......)
