After the sedan chair landed, it was time for Shi Lei, the groom, to play, Shi Lei took out a pair of red bows and arrows and shot three arrows in the direction of the sedan chair, which meant that all the bad things that might be encountered on the road were dispersed.

"One arrow to the sky: God-given good fate, natural couple, open the bow." The experienced master of ceremonies guided Shi Lei's movements beside him, and after hearing the words of the master of ceremonies, Shi Lei shot an arrow in vain, and the people around him applauded in response.

"Two arrows towards the ground: the earth is wide, and the earth is long.

Three arrows: the geography of the heavenly garden, the flower is full of moon. After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, he motioned for Shi Lei to put away the bow and arrows.

At this time, Gan Hongxiang, who was a matchmaker, appeared on the stage, he was also wearing a festive Tang costume, standing on the edge of the brazier that had been placed in front of the sedan chair a long time ago, and hugged Laura, who had just been led out of the sedan chair by Shi Lei with red silk.

Laura still covers her head with a red hijab, so of course she has to be held by someone when she straddles the brazier. Fortunately, although Laura's Chinese dress is very grand, it is definitely not a floor-length skirt, but more like the previous Han-style ancient costume, so it looks very grand and beautiful at the same time, and it is still very free to move.

"The newcomer crosses the brazier, prosperous and auspicious! The newcomer crosses the saddle, safe and sound, sweet and sweet. Under the command of the master of ceremonies, the matchmaker Gan Hongxiang helped Laura across the brazier and saddle together, and Shi Lei took Laura from the matchmaker.

(The groom is chic, the friendship is surging, the bride is handsome, the flowers and the moon are beautiful, they are really a natural pair, a pair made in the ground.) In the introduction of the master of ceremonies, under everyone's applause and blessing, Shi Lei led Laura to the platform that had been built, ready to start the worship ceremony.

Before the official worship, after the two stood still on the stage, Shi Lei took a jade Ruyi from the master of ceremonies and picked out the red hijab on Laura's head.

Shi Lei didn't choose a scale rod wrapped in red cloth, because the very beautiful handmade zuò scale bar is really not easy to find. And the meaning of jade Ruyi is also very good, so Shi Lei asked a master craftsman to create a jade Ruyi.

The hijab was removed, and the worship ceremony of the two officially began. This process is more familiar to everyone, one worships heaven and earth, the second worships the high hall, the husband and wife worship each other, and send it to the cave room, right.

But according to custom, of course, it is not as light as it is simply said, and there are still a lot of exquisiteness in it. For example, a table of eight immortals placed in the middle of the platform is called the Heaven and Earth Table in the ceremony. There will be dragon and phoenix candles, incense burners, and four fruit bowls containing jujubes, lotus seeds, longan, peanuts, and four kinds of fruits, each of which has a beautiful meaning.

After worshipping heaven and earth, of course, it is to worship the high church. The two pairs of parents sat on opposite sides of the heaven and earth table. Shi Lei and Laura, a couple of newcomers, held hands and stepped forward to bow to the four elders3. According to the previous custom, this is to bow three times and bow nine times, but now it is definitely not so exaggerated.

Of course, bowing is not all, the two newlyweds also have to give tea to each other's parents. At the same time, at the request of the master of ceremonies, he began to officially change his voice to call his parents. This is not a casual shout, and the elders also have to pay for changing their mouths.

Shi Lei's mother has work to do at this time, first of all, as a happy mother-in-law, she needs to comb her new daughter-in-law's hair. The master of ceremonies next to him also sang the lyrics: "A comb comb to the hair, wealth and wealth do not have to worry,

Two combs to the head. Disease-free and worry-free,

Three combs to the hair, many sons and many blessings; ”

After combing the hair, the mother still has to do the knife for the two of them, each cut off two locks of hair, and tied them together, put them in a beautiful small wooden box for a hundred years of husband and wife, and tie the hair for a lifetime.

This is the knotted hair, with this is the so-called knotted couple, which means that the two of them will grow old and tie the knot forever.

This is not the end, the parents on both sides each held the fire and lit all the dragon and phoenix candles on the heaven and earth table, and the elders could be regarded as completing their roles. Now comes the part where the husband and wife worship each other.

"Husbands and wives worship each other and are grateful to each other. Marriage makes us a family; Husband and wife have one heart, and the loess in front of the door turns into gold.

From now on, whether rich or poor, rich or poor, rich or low, respect and love each other, grow old, and love forever. The master of ceremonies said as Shi Lei and Laura bowed deeply to each other.

After Shi Lei and Laura called each other for the ring, Shi Lei took Laura's hand.

"From today on, we will share weal and woe, share joy and sorrow, and do our best to help each other become virtuous.

In front of all the relatives and friends, the bride and groom make promises to each other. The voice of the master of ceremonies sounded again, and Shi Lei and Laura began to recite their love vows again.

"Death and life are broad, talk to Zicheng, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son." After Shi Lei and Laura read it in turn, they said it again together, this is the promise that the two gave each other.

Naturally, the witnesses spoke, and the witnesses to the marriage were not surprisingly Laura's godfather, that is, Lincoln's father, Mr. Franklin.

And the speaker on behalf of the guests is also an old acquaintance, Principal Yang of UCSB, who has a high prestige in the Chinese circle, he is still Laura's principal, and it is still very suitable to be the representative of this guest.

"The marriage of the newlyweds is known by heaven and earth, known by the ancestors, according to the wishes of parents, and witnessed by relatives and friends. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Now, I announce Shi Lei and Laura's wedding gift, the ceremony. The bride and groom are sent to the cave room. ”

At this point, this wedding that doesn't look long, but it's actually complicated enough, is over.

However, Shi Lei and Laura returned to the main room used as a cave room, which was actually the main room of the cave house, and there were a series of processes to go through, such as eating eggs and eating slim.

After all this, Shi Lei and Laura cleaned up and had to go out to prepare a toast.

Old Man Huang and the table where several of their elders are must be honored separately. In addition, some of the more important guests at the wedding should be respected. For example, as a relative and friend of Laura's side, he came here as an official figure like Sister and Siroyne.

And Shi Lei's relatives and friends are much simpler, Shi Lei and Laura went over with wine glasses, and toasted directly to those tables and it was over.

What Shi Lei expected was that the three bigwigs in the fashion industry all came to the wedding scene without any fall, and they actually watched the whole wedding process.

It's understandable that Ms. Diane is doing this, after all, she is also Laura's aunt, although she is not close, but the relationship is very close. And the intentions of the other two bigwigs are more intriguing. However, Shi Lei didn't think much about it, anyway, if they could come to the scene, it means that they must have come with good intentions.

After all the guests were saluted, the wedding banquet was almost over, but the guests did not rush to leave, but stayed to chat more.

Because on the side of Midi, these original relatives and friends are scattered more extensively, and the distance between them is relatively far, they all think of such an opportunity to have a good chat and deepen the relationship between each other, and the people who were originally close to each other in the province have become unfamiliar.

And the atmosphere of the wedding banquet scene is also relatively relaxed, because Shi Lei did not completely follow the domestic habits, a table was full of all kinds of Chinese food, what four major items, how many dishes, etc., but took the form of buffet or cold lunch party that is more commonly used by Midi.

The chef's on-site food is all served on a table on the sidelines, and of course, there are actually four major dishes, and everyone can choose according to their preferences, and eat as much as they want on their own plates.

Relatively speaking, this method is actually more economical and will not cause a lot of waste like traditional Chinese wedding banquets. And the atmosphere will be a little more relaxed.

After all, when a dish is served on the table, there is always a feeling of racing against time to fill in the stomach. Especially the children, after watching the wedding process, they began to get hungry, and then they waited until the time of the meal to get hungry.

The buffet format does not have these problems, because there are many dishes on the table at the beginning, especially there are many cold dishes such as braised beef for diners to choose from.

And the taste of these dishes is definitely not perfunctory, especially since all the meat ingredients are freshly killed and freshest provided by Stone Ranch, and the taste is absolutely first-class.

Basically, it can be said that as long as the chef is above the standard, it is not difficult to create a table of sumptuous deliciousness, which is enough to satisfy the deliciousness of all the guests on the scene.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the guests were busy communicating with each other, Shi Lei and Laura hurriedly found something to cushion their stomachs. Soon, the two of them had to stand at the door to see off all the guests, which was a very necessary courtesy, and the two of them could not afford to lose this courtesy.

After sending all the guests away, Shi Lei and Laura finally relaxed, and the day was really happy and painful. The happiness of marriage makes the two happy, but these many processes are really a bit exhausting to deal with.

Not only is it physically tiring, but it's also mentally stressful. After this relaxation, both of them felt a deep sense of exhaustion hit them.

Fortunately, these foreign friends don't know that there is such a thing as a haunted cave room, otherwise with the crazy energy of these guys, Shi Lei feels that he doesn't need to rest this night.

But even without these unscrupulous guys, Shi Lei, like Laura, still has to cheer up, deal with the many relatives who come, and accompany them to have a good chat. Finally, after sending off all their relatives, the two of them were able to really rest.

After three days, Shi Lei and Laura completed the ceremony of returning to the door, and then the two of them took the plane back to China with Shi Lei's parents and returned to China with many of Shi Lei's relatives.

They still have to buy a Western-style wedding here, and Shi Lei really hopes to make it really simple this time. (To be continued......)
