The Cathedral of Christ in Jiangcheng is brightly lit up today, and it is particularly magnificent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The front desk is a platform that is only five steps higher than the public viewing seats.

There are two small tables in the middle of the platform, on which are placed the glossary books for the ceremony. Inside there are the bride and groom at the wedding, all the words to be said and hymns to be sung.

On both sides of the platform are the seats of bishops or elders from other dioceses in Jiangcheng who participated in the ceremony.

At the back of the front desk is the altar, which is decorated with four gold carved pillars in front of the altar, dividing the front of the white altar into three pieces. On the altar, three handfuls of large-format hardcover Bible books are neatly arranged.

The background wall above the altar is a large relief on the whole side, giving people a sense of resplendent and solemnity.

At the front of the public viewing table under the platform, on both sides are Mu Tianyu and Zhang Leyi's family and friends.

This was followed by the choir musicians, singers and children. Next to the choir is the band, and the orchestra conductor.

The next hundreds of seats were already full, and guests from all walks of life and people watching the ceremony were holding large-format brochures as beautiful as the grand ceremony words book on the small table at the front desk.

When the guests entered, the music wafting over the church was the cheerful old military song of the Chinese army: "Return from target shooting".

In the lounge next to the entrance of the church, Mu Tianyu listened to this old military song and felt very cordial, and there was no psychological barrier that this was a Western-style wedding.

He smiled heartily at his best man Yuta Amada and asked, "Little brother, have you heard this song?" ”

"Nope. I think it's very cheerful, it's very energetic, and it sounds good. ”

"Hmm!" Mu Tianyu thought, I don't know whose arrangement this is, but I really put my heart into it, it's really good!

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Mu Tianyu, accompanied by Yuta Amada, walked into the church, and the band played the prelude to arrival. The long-awaited solemn moment has arrived, and the wedding ceremony has officially begun!

Mu Tianyu is wearing an olive-green ceremonial military uniform made of woolen fabric today.

He wears a tuxedo shirt, a standard tie, standard socks and dress shoes, a pine leaf collar flower, a gown epaulettes, a badge, a rank badge, a name tag, a ribbon and an armband of the national flag.

The golden ribbon was worn on Mu Tianyu's left shoulder, the sleeves passed through the main belt loop and the auxiliary belt loop, the buckle loop at the upper end of the ribbon was hung on the button under the shoulder loop, and the twist buckle loop was hung on the button inside the lapel.

This dress and military uniform, Mu Tianyu has never worn it. In the past, for large-scale events such as promotion to military ranks, Mu Tianyu and the others often had simple ceremonies and did not have the opportunity to wear ceremonial clothes.

Even when he was promoted to the military rank once, at Mu Tianyu's house, his mentor, Major General Ren Haiqing, directly ordered him to take off his student uniform on the spot and change his costume to confer the title.

For the first time, he finally had the opportunity to wear this solemn military uniform and participate in the most important and unforgettable ceremony for the first time in his life.

This outfit was worn for him for the first time, and it was originally stipulated that it could only be worn for large-scale celebrations. He himself felt that he had a sense of ceremony, and he naturally produced a kind of grandeur and solemnity psychologically.

Yuta Amada, who accompanied him, wore a dark blue dress of a United Nations official today, with a ribbon, logo and armband, which also looked very good.

When the two handsome men slowly walked into the church, they walked past the people sitting on both sides, walked past their comrades-in-arms, and walked past relatives and friends.

Mu Tianyu's heart seems to have gone through the entire previous life at this moment. In the joyful, thunderous applause, like the welcome received when returning from the battlefield in triumph.

"Brother, you are a hero and a prince." Yuta Yuta turned his face slightly to Mu Tianyu, as if he was also infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and said excitedly.

"Little brother, I think this is like a dream, am I really married!"

"Yes, brother, it's true."

Mu Tianyu, accompanied by Yuta Yuta, walked to the small table on the right in the middle of the front desk and stopped. Yuta Amada was standing to his right.

Everything was in place, and the I Was Glad (I was glad) music rang out in the cathedral.

I Was Glad is a classic hymn written by British composer Sir Hubert Parry in 1992. The lyrics are taken from the Psalm in the Bible:

I was glad

When they said unto me

Let us go

Into your house oh lord

No greater joy

Than to be in this place

To lift my voice

And sing your praise

Here we are

In your courts we stand

With our hearts

And hands upraised

Here we are

By the blood of the lamb

By your grace we come

And by your grace

We stand

Amid the singing of the choir, the priest in black robes pushed open the door of the church, first walked on the red carpet, and under his guidance, the master of this grand wedding, the bishop, walked in.

When I saw the bishop, I couldn't help but be in awe.

Dressed in a white gown, the inside of the large white caftan with a large unbuttoned rolled collar at the top is exposed. The large round neck of the white dress is satin in golden color, with delicate gold thread embroidery on it, and thin red edges, which is very elegant.

Below the neckline of the gown, a golden-yellow satin with a gold thread embroidery pattern is vertically attached. The ribbon went down to the bottom of the robe, and the sides of the wrought side were trimmed with a red pattern much wider than the collar edge.

On golden satin, the chest is embroidered with purple gold thread and gold gold thread, which looks like a deformed cross flower.

The side hem of the robe is also the same side as the wide golden-yellow ribbon in the middle. However, the red pattern on the side band is embroidered on the inside of the side band.

The ring on the bishop's finger is relatively wide and eye-catching.

It is said that the bishop will wear this ring when he presides over a grand ceremony, and it symbolizes his authority. In the old days, this ring was used to stamp official documents. So, the bishop's commandment is a sign of authority and covenant.

Today, in order to officiate at the wedding, the Bishop has specially taken up the scepter, which represents his position and pastoral duties.

The scepter, possibly made of precious wood, has been plated with gold. The inlaid decoration is also noble. At the top of the scepter is a sculpture of a circular shepherd facing the people in the church.

The bishop also wears a high crown matching the scepter on his head.

This special high crown is also golden yellow. It is composed of two pieces of hard brocade fabric in the shape of a triangular melon seed, paved with gold thread and decorated with precious stones, about 30 centimeters high, with two streamers hanging behind the back.

It is said that this is the crown that the bishop has always treasured, and he is not willing to use this crown for the first time in his life, no matter how grand and grand the ceremony is.

It can be seen that the bishop regards the wedding of Mu Tianyu and Zhang Letong as particularly important.

Behind the bishop, the door of the church opened again, and after the bishop walked past a few rows of seats, the bride Zhang Letong appeared at the door wearing a white wedding dress, like a fairy, in the eyes of everyone waiting for her!
