Chapter 179: When the wedding preparations are underway

"Benben, you promised me, you will help when the time comes. Now tell me what you're going to do. Seeing the fat nephew sitting on the floor and seriously fighting with Pooh, Qi Ping interrupted this unique competition very sadly.

"King Kong and I are going to lead the way, and we have to scatter flowers! I'm still the best, I'm going to take care of Pooh and Liang Shanbo when the time comes, there will be a lot of guests, Pooh and King Kong will follow me! ”

Benben got up and counted his tasks with his little finger; Although he had counted a lot of things, Benben felt as if he had forgotten something.

"You also have to maintain order, and you have to manage order with Uncle Joshua, and you will be responsible for receiving guests and arranging for them to be seated. And you have to help Xiao Ni take care of the ring, and you can't run around when the time comes. ”

Qi Lei reminded the fat son who was scratching his head and cheeks, this little guy was crazy in the forest farm and didn't remember anything at all; This is also the reason why Qi Ping took the trouble to remind Benben, because this kid is unreliable.

Benben became happy, and seriously repeated his task again; Then he turned and ran away, commanding King Kong to climb onto the table to get the fruit, bite two bites of the apple, and then stuff it into Pooh's big mouth. rushed out with a large number of small followers, Benben is very busy now.

Benben is very busy, in fact, Qi Ping and Kate are also busy; The wedding date is approaching, and the preparation period is relatively short. During this time, although the two of them were a little busy and their feet did not touch the ground, they were still happily preparing.

Write a good invitation, this is to do it yourself, it will be more sincere; It will also be because of friendship or identity or something like that. Of course, the words on the invitation card are different. For example, Luo Yi. is to come early with a red envelope to help; But Professor Bruce, who intends to take root in the forest farm. We invite you to your wedding.

Invitations are one thing, and the other is a list of gifts; In the United States, it is common for every couple to send out a "marriage revelation" and invitation to relatives and friends before the wedding.

As for wedding gifts, the couple will register in advance at the wedding registry in a large department store, and then inform relatives and friends that they have made a reservation in a certain mall, so that relatives and friends know where to go to choose a wedding gift for them.

In this way, relatives and friends will use the computer to check the list of items specified by the couple. In order to understand the actual needs of the couple, and then choose the items they are willing to buy to give to the newcomer, the amount of the gift is determined according to the degree of relationship between themselves and the newcomer, because the price of each item is clearly listed on the list, and it seems to be clear at a glance. Once you've chosen a gift for a friend, the item corresponding to the gift will be automatically crossed out of the computer system, so that other friends don't have to pick and buy it again.

Generally speaking, these gift lists are some of the more common supplies, and they will not be angry to come to a lion with a big mouth and the like; From pots and pans to some appliances, you can have it. And want to give a special gift. Of course, you don't have to worry about the gift list.

It's good that way, it's convenient for the person who gives the gift. And the person receiving the gift does not need to worry about waste.

Qi Ping and Kate made a long list of gifts, most of which were usable; Although there is no shortage of anything in the family now, it is not necessarily expected to get married and 'make a fortune'. However, this is a custom and a habit, of course, it needs to be respected, and it is not that if you have money, you don't need to accept gifts.

"Your prenuptial agreement with Kate is about to be signed, let me tell you. Although I am not happy about this matter, this is like preparing for a divorce before I get married. But it's all like this now, and there are some habits like this in China. Don't be stingy with me, money is one thing, feelings are the most important. But this forest farm, you have to hold it in your hands, and it doesn't matter what else you do. ”

Yu Lan reminded Qi Ping that the prenuptial agreement is still very important, so be prepared; Although she is very optimistic about Qi Ping and Kate, she really can't say for sure about feelings.

"I know this, I didn't plan to sign it, but if I don't sign, Kate said, and her family also said. I guess I won't sign it, and you and your dad have to talk about it. In terms of property, I keep the forest farm, and the rest is not in my name. We will soon live in Kate's house, and in the future, it will be Kate's food, drink and housing. ”

Qi Ping laughed, money was something outside of his body, and he believed in his relationship with Kate.

Don't look at what Yu Lan said is to remind Qi Ping not to be stingy, but seeing that his youngest son was so heartless and transferred basically all his property to Kate's name, he naturally didn't have a good look. But I didn't say much, the forest farm is an old hen that lays golden eggs, and as long as the forest farm is still there, there is nothing to worry about; And Qi Ping and Kate have such a good relationship, just look at their slimy strength.

"Honey, I've got a theme for the wedding!"

Kate, who was wearing slippers, squeezed into Qi Ping's arms, not only because she was in a good mood when she was pregnant, but also because she was preparing for the wedding during this time, which was something that Kate was extremely happy about.

Americans pay a lot of attention to the details of weddings, but the overall subject strives to be warm and elegant, and rarely shows off the new like some fashionable young people in Hollywood or New York. However, regardless of the size of the wedding, a "theme" is essential. The so-called theme includes the main colors of the wedding, such as the color of the tablecloth, bouquet, small decorations, the color of the bridesmaid dress, the color of the groomsmen's tie vest, the color of the invitation card and the sticker, etc.

Kate's family still belongs to a more common western family and is more traditional; And some of the people who are engaged in personality can really think that there are all kinds of people living on the soil of the United States, and their weddings are very different. There are lively and solemn church weddings; There are weddings held on the top of the mountain, and guests accompany them barefoot to ascend the heights; There are also weddings held at the bottom of the sea, where guests wear oxygen tanks and follow into the water......

And the theme of the wedding and the main color of the wedding, etc., only you can't think of it, and there is nothing that a crazy bride can't do. When it comes to the choice of color, the fiancé will politely provide his own advice, but for the sake of the happiness of the future marriage, he will generally cooperate and unconditionally obey the bride's choice. Of course, in addition to asking her mother, sisters, and best friends for advice, the bride will also politely ask her fiancé's mother and sisters for advice.

Qi Ping was well aware that he had no say in this matter; All he had to do was listen attentively and then applaud in approval. Kate is so smart, absolutely ice and snow smart, Hui quality Lan Xin, and a typical example of show wisdom.

"I love that song, even though my Chinese skills are terrible now. The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you! ”

Kate proudly kissed flush on the cheek, she had already set the theme of this wedding; Grow old together!

Qi Ping loves this theme and grows old together!

"Our wedding took place at the Tree Farm, and Eric had already hired a priest. We don't have to go to church, I know you're not Catholic. I think it's better to be in the woods, it's a great environment and most importantly it's our home! ”

Kate once again announced the news that the wedding will be held.

Some weddings in the United States depend on the religious beliefs of both the man and the woman, and there is a lot of choice in where the ceremony takes place. If both men and women are religious, the odds are high that they will choose a local church. If the wedding is scheduled to take place in another country or tourist destination, it is enough to find a good priest to preside over the ceremony. For example, in the popular beach wedding, the wedding planner will set up a tent and a ceremonial table on the beach, the bride will come in under the gentle sea breeze, and the priest will preside over the ceremony and offer blessings to the bride and groom under a light veil.

In fact, this is a bit troublesome, because after the wedding ceremony, the wedding banquet needs to be prepared. If the wedding ceremony is held in a church, the wedding reception is scheduled to be held at a nearby hotel. It's not good, it's a little too troublesome; It's better to be in the forest farm, and after the wedding ceremony is held, you can directly cut the cake, throw flower balls and have a lively and warm wedding banquet.

Kate's proposal was also approved by her parents, and although Kate's parents were devout Christians, it did not mean that the wedding had to take place in a church. It's nice to have a wedding on the tree farm, in line with the status of the owners of Qiping and Kettelin, and most importantly convenient and happy. It's a kid's choice, and their choice deserves support!

"Then we need to keep busy, and we still need to prepare a lot of things. For the setting up of the wedding scene, we also need to invite a band, which needs to be prepared. But I think it's Erik's responsibility, and we'll go to him at night, it's his mission! ”

Qi Ping is not lazy, but respectful of tradition.

Generally, the cost of a wedding in the United States is borne by the woman's family; This includes wedding venues, celebrants, bands or cakes. Even the wedding dress, the meals and drinks of the wedding banquet are all borne by the woman's family.

But it is clear that this time the Kate family does not need to pay much money for the wedding; It's not that it's flush and arrogant, but the positioning of this wedding is very high from the beginning. Weddings for the rich often cost millions or tens of millions of dollars, and it is obvious that Kate's family cannot afford such a burden, such as customized wedding dresses, dresses, etc., which cost a lot of money.

The engagement banquet was undertaken by Kate's family, but this time the wedding ceremony was completely undertaken by Qi Ping. It's not about breaking tradition, it's about the actual situation; It's clear that Eric isn't that stubborn and pedantic.

But in the end, he is marrying his daughter, so he also needs to do a lot of things. (To be continued......)
