Chapter 902: The Wedding (5)
Zhang Chengyuan took Cheng Youli's arm and continued to walk, and after a while walked to the stage and stood facing the pastor, and then bowed to him at the same time.
The pastor also bowed slightly and nodded in return, and then spoke: "Brothers and sisters, distinguished guests, we are gathered here today to witness the sacred wedding of Mr. Jang Sung Won and Miss Sung Youli in front of God, so please testify for them with respect, solemnity and blessing......
After a religious opening, the pastor began to pray, and all the guests and invited fans, whether believers or not, listened to his prayers, and the believers would recite prayers such as "Amen" and "Lord" every few moments, so that the atmosphere of the audience immediately became solemn.
Perhaps, at this time, many non-believers are quite unimpressed with the pastor's prayer, but out of politeness and respect for the newcomers Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli, they will naturally not do anything to destroy the atmosphere at this time, otherwise they will inevitably be hostile to everyone and Zhang Chengyuan will be investigated afterwards.
At this time, Zhang Chengyuan followed Cheng Youli's appearance, his eyes were closed, his hands were clenched in front of his chest, and he followed her to whisper words such as "Amen", with a pious look, as if he was a true believer. In terms of pretending, he has always been outstanding, otherwise his acting skills would not be so clever. In addition, for the sake of Cheng Youli, he actually doesn't mind being baptized and joining Protestantism, anyway, he is no longer a monk, and he has no faith in his heart, but Cheng Father and Cheng Youli know that he will never be sincere in religion now, so how can he be asked to do so?
After the pastor finished praying, the church choir began to sing the congratulatory songs. It was a church song. It's called "The True Meaning of Love". Although the melody is not festive, it makes people feel very calm and joyful, as if telling people that true love and marriage do not pay attention to the excitement and jubilation on the surface, but pay attention to the inner touching and joy. At least Zhang Chengyuan felt this way at this time. Of course, there are some God-revering lyrics in the song, which he, as an unbeliever, did not agree with in his heart. But it's not exclusive.
This is followed by a candle-lighting ceremony. There are three candles, the middle one is slightly larger, called the "marriage candle" or "unity candle", and the next two are the "family candles", representing the two families, at this time only the "family candle" is lit, and the ignition is the family of the groom and the bride respectively. Since only his father Zhang Donghu was left on the groom Zhang Chengyuan's side, Zhang Donghu could only light the candles on the stage, and the bride Cheng Youli could only let Cheng's father come on stage to light the candles accordingly.
As for the "candle of unity" in the middle, it will not be lit until the later link.
Next. It is a reading of the scriptures, which are all excerpts from the Bible. There are seven passages in total, which are generally about the Protestant view of marriage. It could have been recited by the priest, but this wedding was arranged for two newlyweds to recite, perhaps it was a request from a father or a member of Cheng Youli to show his piety, and Zhang Chengyuan naturally didn't care. At the moment, Zhang Chengyuan first recites a paragraph, then Cheng Youli recites a paragraph, alternately, and the last paragraph is recited by the two of them together, since each paragraph has only a few sentences, so it does not take much time to recite these verses.
After that, it is time for the most important part - the marriage question and answer and vows.
"Mr. Zhang Chengyuan and Miss Cheng Youli, may God bless you...... Marriage is blessed, holy, and precious, so it is not to be taken lightly, but to be respectful, reverent, and thankful......
After speaking a few religiously appropriate words, the pastor got to the point and asked, "Mr. Chang Cheng-won, will you marry Miss Cheng You-li, live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with her, love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her, love her as yourself, be loyal to her when she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, and remain faithful to her until she leaves the world?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan listened quietly, and after he spoke, he immediately said, "I do!" Although there are not many people in this world who can do this oath, he is confident that he can do it, well, in addition to the point of "being loyal to her", after all, he still has many women to love and take care of, but Cheng Youli has long stopped caring about this.
After Zhang Chengyuan said "I do", the guests and fans at the scene immediately clapped and cheered, among which Jiang Hudong shouted particularly loudly. Only Han Yise, Son Ye-jin and others pursed their lips slightly, thinking that they didn't think that Jang Sung-won could be completely loyal to Sung You-ri.
When the applause and cheers stopped, the pastor asked Cheng Youli again, "Miss Cheng Youli, would you like to marry Mr. Zhang Chengyuan?" To live with Him according to the teachings of the Bible, to be one with Him, to love Him, to comfort Him, to honor Him, to obey Him, to love Him as yourself, to be faithful to Him, whether He is sick or healthy, rich or poor, until He is out of the world?
Cheng Youli said firmly: "I am willing!" She is much more confident than Zhang Chengyuan said, what the pastor said, she can do everything, not only now, but also in the future, even more than what the pastor said.
Hearing this, the guests and fans applauded and cheered again, Jiang Hudong still shouted the loudest, while Han Yise, Kong Hyun-joo, Kim Sharon and others showed regret and admiration on their faces, they all knew that Sung You-ri had always known that Jang Sung-won had other women outside, but he still loved him deeply, and almost didn't care, which is really not something ordinary women can do.
Immediately afterwards, the pastor asked Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli to make their respective marriage vows.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Chengyuan immediately raised his right hand and swore in front of Cheng Youli: "I, Zhang Chengyuan, in the presence of God, please Cheng Youli be my wife, my lover and my lifelong companion." I will cherish the affection between us, love you, and take care of you, now, in the future, and forever.
I will trust you, respect you, share your ups and downs, laugh with you, and cry with you.
Whether the future is good or bad, difficult or happy, I will accompany you through it. No matter what kind of life you are ready for, I will always be by your side. No matter what happens, I will be by your side...... As if I had reached out for you to hold on, I would commit my life to you...... The one you love will be the one I love. What pleases you is also pleasing to me...... So please accept my love. Be with me for a lifetime! ”
Zhang Chengyuan's words. It took more than two minutes to finish, although he didn't write it himself, but it can be said that it was completely his heart, so what he recited was completely true, and he unconsciously used the power of the Yuan Shen, which made Cheng Youli and the guests and fans present very moved.
After he finished speaking, Cheng Youli barely calmed down. He also swore an oath: "I, Cheng Youli, express before God that I am willing to be Zhang Chengyuan's wife, lover, and lifelong companion." I will cherish the affection between us...... Therefore, I am willing to accept your love and be with you for the rest of my life. ”
The meaning of her words was similar to what Zhang Chengyuan said, but she changed the tone of the speaker. At the same time, she is also completely true and sincere, although she does not have the bonus effect of the power of the primordial gods, but it is also moving. The mood is agitated. At that moment, it immediately won a sincere and warm applause.
Hereunto. The vows ceremony is over, and then the bride and groom exchange rings. At this time, Kim Jong Kook and Lee Hyori stepped forward from both sides, placed the rings they had kept on a tray containing a Bible, and respectfully handed them to the priest.
The ring is white and is a pair of platinum diamond rings that symbolize the purity and eternity of love. The diamond is about 10 carats in size, and the market price is about 400,000 US dollars, which is very precious to ordinary people, but it is really ordinary for Zhang Chengyuan, and it can even be said that it is not worthy of his handwriting, and the reason why this is so is because he and Cheng Youli don't want to be too ostentatious at the wedding and attract people's attention.
However, Zhang Chengyuan prepared a better diamond ring for Cheng Youli, which really represents his heart for Cheng Youli, a rare pink diamond weighing 24.78 carats, which he sent Xiao Yuan to buy at an auction held by Sotheby's in Geneva, Switzerland, for $49 million in mid-November.
His behavior is almost comparable to Tang Minghuang who smiled for Yang Guifei, but Tang Minghuang asked people to look for lychees, and he was looking for diamond rings, in addition, compared to Tang Minghuang who could win Yang Guifei to smile, he only provoked Cheng Youli to "scold", accusing him of spending money indiscriminately, using the money that could buy a luxury private jet, to buy a thing that could only be watched at home and not worn - such a valuable diamond ring, she did not dare to wear it, because it would not only make people think that she showed off her wealth, but also aroused the covetousness of bad people.
However, Zhang Chengyuan could see that Cheng Youli still missed him very much in his heart, so although he bought something that didn't work, he was still happy in his heart.
After receiving the rings, the priest blessed the rings, and then asked someone to bring them to Jang Sung Won and Sung Youli and let them wear them for each other.
Starting with the groom, Zhang Chengyuan stepped forward slightly, holding the left hand raised by Cheng Youli in his left hand, and gently took the slightly smaller ring of the two rings with his right hand and slowly put it on Cheng Youli's left ring finger.
But it's no wonder that he doesn't know how many actresses he has worn rings in various TV series, and his movements and postures have already been rehearsed very skillfully, so he can naturally show himself very well at this time.
And then, Cheng Youli's watch was more rusty, and he stumbled for a while before putting on the ring for Zhang Chengyuan, which caused laughter at the scene, of course, it was just a kind laugh, however, Cheng Youli still felt a little blushing, in fact, she had practiced many times a few days ago, but because it was the first time she wore it for Zhang Chengyuan, she was a little nervous for no reason. Seeing this, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but smile slightly, causing Cheng Youli to glare at him slightly.
Zhang Chengyuan didn't care, but walked forward and hugged her gently, and then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips for a few seconds - after exchanging rings, the bride and groom were going to hug and kiss, so Zhang Chengyuan was not rude to do this, but he was a little eager, because the host hadn't asked him to do it yet, so Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi immediately took the lead in coaxing, and the scene was suddenly lively and cheerful, but with Zhang Chengyuan's cheekiness, how could he care about this? As for the old priest who presided over the wedding ceremony, he stood by calmly and watched, with a smile on his face, obviously thinking that the scene in front of him was quite interesting.
