Chapter 137: Father is absent

In the warm applause, cheers and whistles of the audience, the host said emotionally:

"Distinguished guests, friends, now, please allow me to introduce today's two newlyweds, standing on the right, slim and fluttering beauty, is the protagonist of tonight's wedding, the bride Miss Zhang Liping! Come, bride, please step forward and let all our guests compliment you on your beauty! โ€

The host stretched out his hand to the bride and made a "please" gesture in front of her.

Zhang Liping obediently took a step forward.

"Look forward to the bride, beautiful and beautiful in the world;

The body is slender like a fairy, graceful and graceful like a phoenix, like a hibiscus out of the water, a hundred flowers, and a colorful bird and a golden peacock;

Danfeng eyes, wicker eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and fragrant body, how beautiful it is!

All praise the beautiful Saiqiu Xiang, the merry and talented Tang Bohu, the three-point autumn fragrance is lingering, the spring heart embraces the cave room, and the sycamore attracts the golden phoenix. โ€

The host used a smooth language, and after praising the bride backwards, he made a "please" gesture and asked the bride to retreat to the position where she was standing just now.

Liping obediently retreated to her original position.

Then the host walked up to the bridegroom and said in a loud voice:

"The bride was introduced to see the groom, and the groom was next to the bride. This beautiful, joyful, majestic, and high-spirited young man is the other protagonist of tonight, our groom, Mr. Wang Mengdu! Come, please take a step forward and let everyone praise you for your heroic appearance. โ€

As he spoke, the host stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture to Mengdu.

Mengdu took a step forward with joy.

"Okay, look at the groom, it's really handsome, and he is suave in the ring:

Handsome and dashing Tang Bohu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, more attractive than Alain Delon, and stronger than Schwarzenegger!

This is called, a handsome man with a beautiful woman, a natural pair, and a pair with the ground; Tianxian with Dong Lang, the flower is full of moon, and the earth is long! โ€

The host still praises the groom catchily with his skillful vocabulary.

After the praise, the host asked the bridegroom to retreat to his seat next to the bride, and continued:

"Now, ask the bride and groom to exchange wedding rings! Come, ask the groom to wear a wedding ring for the bride! โ€

The host turned around and made another "please" gesture to the groom.

Mengdu took off the diamond ring that the mayor's wife bought from Lao Fengxiang in Shanghai from the finger of his left hand, stretched out his left hand, took Liping's right hand, and put it on the ring finger of her right hand excitedly and excitedly.

"Hey, wait, wait!"

The host immediately stopped the dream and said:

"At today's wedding ceremony, the groom must show an elegant gentlemanly demeanor! Everyone said, shouldn't the groom learn from the French gentleman, get down one leg and put on a wedding ring for the bride? โ€

"Should โ€”โ€”!"

"It's a mustโ€”โ€”!"

"Oh - it should be! Requiredโ€”โ€”!! The groom wears a ring for the bride, and it must be brittle on one leg! โ€

The young people in the audience, a few here and there, shouted loudly, and the hall was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

In the midst of everyone's commotion, Mengdu complied with everyone's wishes, snapped down his right leg in front of Liping, and respectfully put on a golden diamond ring for her.

"Now, ask the bride to wear a ring for the groom! The bridegroom, please. โ€

At any wedding, the celebrant always takes great care of the woman.

After Mengdu stood up from the kneeling position, Liping took off the diamond ring that the mayor's wife bought from Shanghai from the finger of her left hand, and put it on the ring finger of Mengdu's right hand with a slight trembling movement.

"Good! The bride and groom have exchanged rings. Let us wish them love like the sea and grow old together! โ€

After the host finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the audience followed with thunderous applause.

Next, the parents of the groom and bride are invited to the stage!

However, before the parents of the groom and bride take the stage, I would like to make a special note to the guests that the father of the groom, a leading cadre, is still on a business trip due to his busy official duties, so he was unable to attend our wedding ceremony today. โ€

"Ahh

"Wouldn't it? No matter how busy you are with official business, you should always rush back when your son gets married, right? โ€

"Hey, being a leader now is involuntarily! However, no matter how busy you are at work, you should rush back to attend your son's wedding! โ€

Hearing that the groom's father was not present, there were all kinds of discussions in the audience.

"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet! Before that, the groom's father specially entrusted me to express my sincerest respect and apologies to all the guests, relatives and friends today, and sincerely thank you for coming!

Now, with a round of applause, let's welcome the parents of both the bride and groom to the stage! โ€

After the host finished speaking, his eyes looked at the audience.

At this time, Mengdu's mother and Liping's parents had already walked towards the rostrum with joy on their faces.

After the host welcomed the mayor's wife and Zhang Xueru and his wife to the stage, he then said to the guests in the hall:

"As you all know, it's not easy for young people to get married these days. From childhood to adulthood, I grew up with my parents pulling and urine, and I won't talk about how hard it is for the time being. Let's talk about getting married, whether it's buying a house, buying appliances, or buying furniture; And what is the main source of income for buying jewelry, clothes, quilts, and banquets? It's all up to the parents! Right?

It can be said that every parent, for the happiness of their children, has worked hard and paid enough!

Of course, today, the in-laws' family is able to marry such a gentle, virtuous, and beautiful daughter-in-law; In order to find such a chic and handsome and talented son-in-law, the father-in-law's family is willing to spend 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, even 500,000, 1 million, or even 2 million or 3 million!

But โ€”โ€”,"

Speaking of this, the host deliberately paused, looked at the bride and groom and said:

"Listen to the bride and groom, water has a source, a tree has roots, and children do not forget to nurture grace;

Today, we will get married and start a family, respect the old and serve our parents.

Now, the bride and groom are invited to visit the high hall. Come, the parents of the bride and groom, and yes, stand in a row. โ€

The host commanded the three elders on the podium, standing side by side opposite Mengdu and Liping, and then shouted to the groom and bride:

"A bow: thank your parents for their nurturing grace;

Bow again and thank your parents for their love and dedication;

Three bows, honor the old man forever! โ€

Mengdu and Liping, under the command of the host, bowed to the parents of both sides in unison, again and again.

At this moment, the mayor's wife and Zhang Xueru and his wife were enjoying the newlyweds' worship to the fullest, with bright sunshine on their faces.

"Okay, I've said goodbye to my parents, now I have to change my name! Come, the bridegroom and the bride, call the groom's parents first, and the two bridesgrooms call their mother in unison. Readyโ€”called! โ€

The host first pointed to the mayor's wife and gave instructions to the bride and groom.

Following the host's command, Mengdu and Liping shouted in unison to Mengdu's mother:

"Mommy โ€”โ€”!"

"Heyโ€”โ€”!"

Listening to the unanimous cries of her son and daughter-in-law, the mayor's wife was so excited that she answered loudly.

"Listen, what a 'mother', how kind and docile it is! Remember, bride, when the groom's father returns, you'll have to call him dad too! โ€

After the host made a special explanation to the bride, he directed a couple to turn to Liping's parents and said loudly:

"Now, ask the bride and groom to call the bride's parents in unison. Call Daddy first, come, get readyโ€”call! โ€

"Daddyโ€”โ€”!"

According to the host's instructions, Mengdu and Liping shouted in unison to Zhang Xueru.

"Heyโ€”โ€”!"

Zhang Xueru exaggeratedly agreed to the shouts of his daughter and son-in-law, and his eyes were so happy that he could barely open them.

"Okay, now call Mom in unison, get readyโ€”call!"

The host also instructed the groom and bride to call Liping's mother.

"Mommy โ€”โ€”!"

Mengdu and Liping completely followed the command of the wedding host, and completed the pre-arranged procedures in turn.

"Hey, yes, yes. Good boy! โ€

Zhang Xueru's wife still responded to the children's salutations with a trembling voice that has always been honest.

"Hear it, how affectionate, how respectful and filial the two newcomers are to their parents! We can be confident that the bride and groom will be excellent sons and daughters of both parents! โ€

After the host praised the newcomer a few words, he then announced:

"Now for the husband and wife! Come, please stand tall and listen to my command, turn left and right, and be good! Ladies and gentlemen, you must all know that according to the 5,000-year-old civilization and customs of our ancestors, when husband and wife worship each other, whoever bows the deepest proves that they love each other more deeply! Come, husband and wife bow to each other:

A bow โ€“ thank you for your lifelong choice;

Bow again - the two of them hold hands and grow old together;

Three bows, love and love! โ€

Following the host's order, Mengdu and Liping bowed to each other three times in a row.

With each bow, the waists of both men bent more than ninety degrees;

Each time they bowed, their heads touched each other, and they also touched three times in a row.

"As the saying goes, fishing must have nets, rowing boats must rely on oars, the bride and groom enter the cave house, how can they be separated from the big matchmaker?

Now, I invite the two newcomers to the stage! โ€

When the bride and groom finished worshipping each other, the host suddenly changed his words and swept his eyes to the crowd in the audience:

"Excuse me, who is the matchmaker of the bride and groom?"

"Here we goโ€”โ€”!"

As the host's voice landed, I saw Hao Min, who had been waiting in the left corner of the rostrum, shaking his raised right hand above his head and striding towards the stage.

It turned out that according to the arrangement of the wedding company, Mengdu and Liping both knew that there was a procedure for the newlyweds to thank the matchmaker at the wedding.

Actually? Mengdu and Liping's love and marriage, it should be said that there is no matchmaker.

However, since the wedding company has arranged this procedure, what should I do?

After Mengdu discussed with Hao Min, it was decided that Hao Min would play the role of the matchmaker.

"Hello, may I ask the matchmaker's surname?"

After Hao Min took the stage, the host politely asked Hao Min.

"Don't be expensive, my surname is Hao, and my name is Hao Min."

Hao Min replied aloud on stage.

"Oh, Mr. Hao! Today, on behalf of the two newcomers and their parents, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart! Without your matchmaking, the two couples would not be able to tie the knot here today. Therefore, now the bridegroom, bride, bow to you three times; While bowing, I have been commissioned by the two newlyweds to offer you three more words. โ€

After the host finished speaking to Hao Min, he turned to the bride and groom and said:

"Come, bride and groom, please stand still. Now please bow to the matchmaker three:

A bow, the newcomer sincerely thank you!

Two bows, tonight drink to get you drunk!

Three bows, you will no longer be needed in the future!

Right? The bride and groom are married, and they don't need you anymore when it comes to marriage!

Okay, I'm kidding you!

In fact, we can't 'new people enter the cave room, and the matchmaker throws out the wall'.

In the future, when it comes to the New Year's holidays, the newlyweds must send a three-yuan or five-yuan New Year's money to the matchmaker every time, which should not be a problem! Matchmaker, you're not too little, are you? Well, that's a joke! Now, ask the matchmaker to return to his seat. Thank you! โ€

While directing the newcomer to bow to the matchmaker, the host kept teasing the matchmaker.

After sending the matchmaker off the podium, the host continued with the rest of the show.

"Now, please two newlyweds to bow to all the guests here!"

With that, the host motioned to the newlyweds to face the guests in the entire multi-purpose hall:

"Come, please face the two newcomers in the middle:

A bow! I wish you all good health!

Come, now the two newcomers turn to the left:

Two bows, I wish all the guests a prosperous career!

Okay, now the two newcomers turn around to the right again:

Three bows, I wish the good people in the world a safe life! โ€

The groom and bride bowed deeply three times in three directions to the hall under the command of the host, like robots.

"Now, please give a speech to the parents of the groom, and everyone applauds and welcomes!"

When the bride and groom bowed to the guests, the host proceeded to the rest of the procedure.

After announcing the procedure to the audience, he turned to the mayor's wife and applauded first, and sent the microphone to the mayor's wife.

The audience burst into applause.

The mayor's wife was not stage frightened, she generously took the microphone from the host's hand, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden "bang" behind her, and there was an accident on the rostrum!

I saw that the big red word "Xi" pasted on the wall behind the rostrum, somehow did it fall from the wall to the ground.

"Oops! What's going on? โ€

"yes, what's going on? How could such a thing happen with such a grand wedding??? โ€

"Wedding company, wedding host, how did you prepare for such an important scene?!"

The sudden accident on the stage seemed to make everyone present feel some kind of bad omen.

Looking at the plaque with the word "Xi" that fell to the ground, many people in the audience invariably issued surprised and angry questions and scolding.

There were even people who got up from their seats, ready to go to the rostrum to find the host to theorize!
