The formal wedding ceremony was about to begin, and in the artificially constructed pavilion covered with flowers and ribbons in the flower garden, the priest and the groom-to-be were already in place. The guests were also automatically divided into two rows, and all eyes were on the back, waiting for the other protagonist of the wedding, the bride!

By this time, the musicians had already played Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Li Chenghua, who was about to hand over his daughter by hand, listened to the wedding march coming from outside the house, he took a deep breath, and kissed his daughter's forehead with slightly red eyes: "My little princess, you are so beautiful today!" Dad, I can't bear to hand you over to that bastard boy in Austin just like that! ”

A sadness suddenly emerged in Peipei's heart, her second life was so lucky, she devoted herself to such a happy and warm family, and was treated like a jewel by her family since she was a child, and she grew up with a lot of love. And at this moment, she is about to leave this warm family and form a new family with the other half she has chosen. In the future, she will take on the role of a wife and mother, is she really up to the task? - Pei Pei suddenly panicked at this moment.

"Otherwise, I'll go out and announce it now, the wedding is canceled! I'm not married, I'm going to continue to stay at home and be the pearl of your palm! Pei Pei was affected by this temporary panic and blurted out to Li's father.

"Hehehe" Li Chenghua's good love was amused by his daughter's sudden stupid words, "My silly daughter! It's all been working hard for a while, what kind of stupid thing to say! Could it be that after you get married, you will no longer be the pearl of my palm? In my heart daddy. You will always be the treasure of our Li family! Be obedient, but don't shed tears, beware of crying flowers, you are a bride today, dad, I don't want to take a stinky girl with a crying face out! Listen, the music is already playing outside, and the bastard boy in Austin is probably in a hurry, wipe away his tears, let's go out! ”

While speaking, Li Chenghua smiled and wiped the wetness from the corners of his daughter's eyes. Then he pinched his daughter's cheek again. He turned to the bridesmaids and nodded.

The chief bridesmaid Lilian hurriedly instructed the three pairs of little flower girls to take their places, and then stuffed the bridal bouquet into the hands of the bride-to-be, "Honey, I wish you a happy marriage!" She hugged her best friend tightly.

Fu Ya and Reese also stepped forward. After exchanging blessings with the bride-to-be on the cheek. Back in their respective ranks.

Seeing that the entire bride team is now in place. Li Chenghua stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and after raising his head and taking a deep breath, he grabbed his daughter's hand and put it in the crook of his arm. "Alright, let's get out!"

Accompanied by the music of the wedding march, Li Chenghua led his daughter step by step towards the gazebo

On both sides of the procession, guests held flower baskets in their hands, laughing and scattering flower petals at the bridal procession.

The closer she got to Austin, who was standing at the end of the line in front of her, the more nervous Pei Pei's mood became, and her hand unconsciously squeezed her father's arm.

"After getting married, your little temperament is about to be collected" Li Chenghua chattered all the way.

"Hmm!" Pei Pei nodded slightly.

"However, if that kid in Austin treats you badly, remember to tell Daddy right away, and Daddy will let your two younger brothers teach him a good lesson!"

"I don't need my brothers to take action, he dares to treat me badly, hum - I can teach him a lesson myself!"

"I just told you, let you be petty! Girls' families, why are they so violent? Learn from you mommy"

"Got it, Daddy!"

"Oh yes, remember to call home every two or three days."

"Yes."

"There's more."

With Li Chenghua's nagging all the way, this distance soon reached the end. Austin had already come out of the gazebo with a smile on his face, his eyes full of amazement, staring firmly at his bride.

"Ahem, cough" The prospective father-in-law coughed heavily, attracting the attention of the prospective son-in-law, "From today onwards, I entrust you with the most precious pearl of the Li family, I hope you can always love her, protect her, respect her, and make her happy for the rest of your life!" Sue me, can you do it? ”

Austin nodded heavily.

Li Chenghua's eyes began to reddened again, and after hugging his daughter hard, he held his daughter's hand and carefully handed it over to Austin's hands.

"I wish you all a happy life!" Li Chenghua sniffed while patting the hands of his daughter and son-in-law, looking at the pair of Jia'er and son-in-law in front of him, who had their eyes firmly intertwined, he let go of his hand and silently took a few steps back.

Then, with a smile, Austin led his bride and walked towards the priest in the gazebo

"Today, we are gathered here under the gaze of God and in the presence of all to witness the sacred wedding of Mr. Austin Brewster Hercules and Ms. Pei Pei Lee. It was a glorious time, a time that God had created since Adam and Eve walked on the earth. Therefore, it is not reckless and ill-conceived, but pious and stern. Now, two couples are about to be united in this holy wedding. If anyone can justify proving that their union is not legitimate, bring it up now or please remain silent forever. ”

As the pastor's opening vows were pronounced, Austin and Pei Pei glanced at each other, their eyes beaming with happiness and joy.

The pastor's gaze swept back and forth over all the guests present, and after a few minutes, the pastor withdrew his gaze, looked at the bride and groom in the audience, and smiled:

"Mr. Austin Brewster-Hercules, the bridegroom, will you accept the woman beside you as your lawful wife in this holy wedding and promise to God that from now on, whether the circumstances are good or bad, whether the family is rich or poor, whether you are sick or not, will you vow to love her, to spend your life together, and not to be separated until death?"

Austin turned his head and glanced affectionately at his bride. Then he looked up and replied to the pastor cautiously: "I, Austin Brewster Hercules, promise before God that I am willing to accept Pei Pei Lee as my lawful wife, and that I will have her forever from now on, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will love her, respect her, and cherish her until death separates us." ”

The pastor turned his gaze to the bride in the audience again—

"Bride, Ms. Pei Pei Pei Li, you are willing to accept the man beside you as your rightful husband in this holy wedding and hereby promise to God that from now on, whether the circumstances are good or bad, whether the family is rich or poor, sick or not. Have you all sworn to love him and spend the rest of your life with him, and never be separated until death? ”

Pei Pei turned her head and smiled at her groom. The smile contained infinite sweetness, then she looked up at the pastor and slowly read out her wedding vows: "I Pei Pei Lee promises before God that I am willing to accept Austin Brewster Hercules as my legal husband." Henceforth and forever have him. Whether the environment is good or bad. Whether it is rich or poor, whether it is health or disease, I will love him. Honor Him and cherish Him until death separates us. ”

Pastor: "In the witness of God, I declare that the bridegroom, Austin Brewster Hercules, and the bride, Pei Pei Lee, are now officially married, and now, ask the bride and groom to exchange rings with each other. ”

At this time, the chief best man William and the chief bridesmaid Lilian, who had been standing quietly outside the gazebo, stepped forward and held up the wedding ring that had been prepared in their palms.

After watching the bride and groom put wedding rings on each other's left ring fingers, the priest smiled and said, "Now the groom can kiss your bride!" ”

As soon as the pastor's words fell, Austin lowered his head with a smile in his eyes and kissed his bride deeply

At the same time, the groomsmen and bridesmaids on both sides sprinkle handfuls of raw rice on the kissing bride and groom – a part of the wedding custom of the United States, symbolizing the birth of offspring.

After the lingering kiss of the bride and groom, it is time for another traditional session.

The staff of the wedding company carried a drawing board and placed it in front of the two of them, Austin and Peipei smiled at each other, then each picked up a bottle of paint, poured it down from the top of the drawing board, and the yellow and blue paints mixed together, leaving an uneven mixed pattern on the drawing board, which symbolized the union of the bride and groom, blending together, you have me.

After the staff lifted the drawing board, they pushed over a three-tiered cake, which was the next ceremony - the custom of cutting the cake in the traditional wedding of the United States. Austin and Pei Pei share a cake knife in front of all the guests, and after cutting the wedding cake, they sweetly feed each other.

After feeding each other the cakes, the bride and groom distribute the cakes to all the guests present.

After that, it is the last part of the whole Western-style wedding, and it is also the long-awaited bouquet throwing ceremony for all unmarried women.

Seeing that there were unmarried women standing in front of her, Pei Pei smiled and turned around holding the bouquet and threw the bouquet back from her shoulder

Throwing bouquets of flowers has gradually become one of the customs of European and American weddings since the middle of the 20th century. The bride tosses the bouquet from her shoulder, and behind her stands an unmarried woman, who can catch the bouquet is a sign that she will be the next lady to get married.

As the chief bridesmaid, Lillian hid far away at this time, and the moment the bouquet was thrown, a lady of about thirty among the guests jumped up and grabbed the bouquet in mid-air, and all the girls who missed were also very sportsmanlike, and they gathered around to congratulate the lady who won the bouquet.

The wedding ceremony was followed by a buffet reception.

Before the reception, there will be a speech by the father of the bride to express his gratitude to all the guests present.

After that, it is the official start of the reception, with the bride and groom leading the dance.

As the times evolved, more and more wedding receptions abandoned the formal waltz as the opening music, and more and more couples became more and more inclined to live bands playing blues-style music as the opening dance music, and the same was arranged for this wedding reception.

Pei Pei was led by Austin into the center of the crowd, and as soon as the band music played, the two looked at each other and smiled, and danced happily.

Beside them, the groomsmen and bridesmaids had already paired up with each other and danced around the couple in the middle. Peipei stole a glance at Lillian. It was discovered that she had indeed become a dance partner with Austin's cousin William, and the two laughed and laughed while dancing.

"Honey, please focus on your new husband, okay?" Austin chuckled and pinched the tip of his new wife's nose.

Pei Pei looked up at her husband and smiled sweetly, reached out around his waist, and snuggled up.

The reception after the wedding ceremony lasts for several hours, and in order to entertain all the guests, there will be a number of mini-games interspersed throughout the party arranged by the wedding planning company.

For example, at this moment, Pei Pei had just hid at the buffet table with Austin and had only eaten two or three bites of food. Lilian came with her best men and bridesmaids. With the order of Lilian, who loves to watch the excitement. The groomsmen surrounded Austin, and the bridesmaids surrounded Peipei, enveloping the bride and groom into the gazebo.

At this time, in the pavilion, the altar used for the wedding ceremony had already been cleaned out by the staff. Two back-to-back chairs were rearranged in the gazebo.

Pei Pei and Austin were each pressed into a chair. Then at Lilian's behest. Take off your shoes from your feet. According to the rules, one of the shoes is to be exchanged with each other.

At this time, the commotion in the gazebo aroused the interest of the guests. A large crowd of people gathered around.

Pei Pei and Austin sat back to back in their chairs, holding a men's shoe and a woman's shoe in their hands. After Lillian winked at her best friend, she smiled and took out a piece of paper from her small satchel, opened it and began to ask:

"Excuse me—which of you two loves sweets?"

Pei Pei thought for a moment and raised the men's shoe in her hand. And behind her, Austin lifted both men's and women's shoes in her hands.

"Haha, the answers are inconsistent! Brothers and sisters, go to punishment! Lillian laughed wickedly.

Austin's cousin grinned and handed the bride and groom two glasses of strange colors. When he handed it to his cousin, William also frowned and explained: "Hi~~~ man, this punishment is not something I came up with, God bless you!" Hahaha"

I don't know what is mixed in the glass, and it tastes sweet, sour, sauce and wine. Austin and Pei Pei pinched their noses and drank, and the onlookers laughed heartily.

"Now on to the next question, I ask you - which of you started the pursuit of whom first?" When Lillian asked this question, she secretly winked at her best friend, and gestured with her gaze: Look, I'm mean enough for you, this question is simple enough!

Pei Pei and Austin both raised their men's shoes.

"Ahem, ahem, you've passed this question. Next question, who gave you the first gift? ”

Both men's shoes are raised at the same time.

"Pass! Next question, which of you is used to sleeping on the left side? ”

The men's shoe in Austin's hand had been raised, and Pei Pei thought about it for a while, and finally decided to lift the men's shoe.

"Okay, passed, next question"

The game lasted for nearly half an hour, and after Lillian, a troublemaker, asked all the questions she had prepared, she began to coax the guests to ask questions at will, and Austin and Peipei were punished a total of six times before they were finally let go by the guests.

"Alright, let's let the bride and groom fill their stomachs first, and in an hour, we'll continue to invite the bride and groom to the game." Lillian and Reese put their shoulders on their backs and smiled and waved to the bride and groom.

Throughout the afternoon, Pei Pei and Austin were caught participating in several games, such as holding beans with chopsticks, passing straws through their noses, and nibbling on apples blindfolded.

When night falls, Wang Laohu directs his men to place plates of delicate and delicious Chinese delicacies on various tables in the flower beds. Pei Pei and Austin, on the other hand, returned to the lounge and each changed into a bright red wedding robe.

After a while, it is the tea ceremony in the traditional Chinese wedding. (To be continued......)
