Chapter 62: The Chapel
Accompanied by music and applause, the four elders walked to the stage in unison, standing on the left and right of their children. Then the hostess asked.
"Today is the wedding day of the two juniors, and it is a time of great joy. As a father, do you have anything to say to the two of them? After speaking, the host handed the microphone to Li Zhendong.
"Okay, then I'll just say a few words. Those who know me well know that I grew up watching both of these children from birth. Therefore, it also carries my wishes, and it is indeed not easy for two people to get to where they are today, and they have experienced a lot of ups and downs. In the future, there will be more ups and downs in life that they need to experience together, and the future needs to be created by the two of them together. Children, fatherly blessings to you. ”
Li Zhendong's simple and affectionate words also drew applause from the audience. After a moment's pause, he continued.
"There are more guests who come to Daoxi today, because of time constraints, Li will no longer toast to everyone one by one, please Haihan. On behalf of the two children and their families, I would like to thank you all for coming. ”
Then Li Zhendong glanced around at the people on the stage and spoke again.
"Come on, let's come together. I would like to express it to everyone. ”
As Li Zhendong's words landed, several people on the stage bowed deeply to the guests in the audience.
Li Zhendong got up and handed the microphone to Jiang Xiuqin with the fierce applause from the audience.
"As for me, I don't have anything to say, I just hope the children are okay, everything is okay."
"Mother's love is like the sea, and father's love is like a mountain. The love of our parents is a great force that keeps us going. Simple words, but contain endless care and love. This is the parents, the parents we need to be grateful for for the rest of our lives. Let's praise them with applause. As Liu Wei's words landed, applause rang out from the audience.
Next, let's hear what the parents of the groom Zhao Wu have to say to their children. We handed over the stage to the second elder. ”
Zhao Yanqing nodded, took the microphone, and cleared his throat.
"Hello dear guests. Thank you for coming all the way to the dog wedding, and on behalf of myself, I would like to express my warmest welcome and most sincere thanks to all of you! At this moment, I am very emotional and have a lot to say to my son and daughter-in-law. Children, you are very filial, you have fulfilled the wishes of your parents. Starting today, you are officially married, and you have established a new family. I hope that you will work together in the long road of life in the future, help each other in the same boat, share weal and woe, mutual understanding, mutual assistance, mutual respect and mutual love, and must focus on the cause and create your own beautiful future with your own wisdom and hard-working hands. ”
The words were extremely profound, and the people in the audience who were originally hippie smiling and watching the excitement couldn't help but leave tears. If Liu Wei hadn't taken the lead in applauding, I'm afraid everyone in the audience would have indulged in such sad words.
Then the microphone was passed to Wang Hua's hand.
"You've done what you need to say for me. Good to your daughter-in-law and son, your mother is happy for you. I also thank you all for coming, the banquet is simple, I hope you will eat and drink well for a while, please bear with me if you don't greet well. ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply again to the many guests in the audience to show his gratitude.
Under the guidance of the host Liu Wei's words, Zhao and Li changed their words to each other's parents. Then the officiant and the witnesses came to the stage to send their blessings.
"Okay, thank you for your sincere wishes and expectations to the two newcomers. The next link is particularly important, please ask our groomsmen and bridesmaids to hold up the token of love and come to the stage. ”
"yes. Zhao Wu and Li Yun, the two newlyweds with two hearts that love each other, finally walked into this * sacred wedding church! Their life journey began from this starting point. Please turn around and stand across from your beloved partner. Ask the groomsmen and bridesmaids to present their wedding rings. Liu Wei stretched out his hand and motioned to the groomsmen and bridesmaids to hand over the wedding rings to both parties.
Li Yun and Zhao Wu exchanged wedding rings under the guidance of the words of the two master of ceremonies, and wore them on the ring finger of each other's left hand.
"In the kingdom of love, this ring becomes your seal for each other. Next, ask each of you to take a step back. ”
"There is such a custom in our country, when husband and wife worship each other, whoever bows and bows more deeply means that he loves each other more deeply. Next, let's witness how deep your love is and whether the moon can represent your heart. ”
After Liu Wei finished speaking, he gestured to his partner with his eyes, and after the other party saw it, he immediately understood what Liu Wei meant.
"Worship and share blessings, and share difficulties; Grow old together, through thick and thin...... A bow, thank you for choosing me. ”
The hostess said eloquently. Zhao Wu and Li Yun also cooperated very much, and their heads were lowered and their calves collided. This move caused the audience to laugh, and all kinds of coaxing voices came and went.
"The second worship husband and wife are affectionate, and they respect each other like guests; Born a noble son early, glorious court...... Bow again, grow old together. ”
"Three worship diligence and thrift, equal pay for equal work; Like-minded, respect the old and love the young...... Three bows, forever united! ”
As far as the hostess's speech is concerned, she must have done enough homework in the early stage. Otherwise, it would not have been said so rhyming and rich in vocabulary. But unlike any other wedding, this wedding has no script, no rehearsal, and no lines or references. It is completely dependent on the rich experience of the host, following the footsteps on the wedding stage, interlocking, without the slightest sense of chaos, but seems to be at ease.
"Ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be slept together. Meet in the vast sea of people, your childhood sweethearts, it is clearly a relationship thousands of years ago, I wish you two happiness and harmony. Don't care how we feel, kiss us...," Liu Wei quipped.
Then, as in most wedding ceremonies, champagne, glasses, cake cutting, etc., are followed by a series of traditional gestures. The moderator spoke again.
"Distinguished leaders and guests. Such a grand and romantic wedding ceremony is coming to an end. Let us remember this wonderful day again, January 30, 2009, the fifth day of the first lunar month. Let us sincerely bless them, for their perfect combination, let us once again applaud warmly, and wish them a bright future! Thank you, thank you!! ”
Just when everyone thought that the wedding was over and were ready to go back to their seats and wait for the meal. The hostess continued.
"Next, before our 09 Zhengzhou Cup Wine Competition, I think there is another important link for our guests, that is, the lottery. Ask our handsome, charming handsome guys and beauties to present the prizes. ”
Then the groomsmen and bridesmaids each had a cell phone on a tray in their hands. From both sides of the stage, I walked slowly to the middle of the stage to the rhythm of the music.
"Okay,Now our handsome guys and beauties are holding the latest Nokia N97 this year,I'll take a look at it,1.2.3..... a total of 16。 Next, I will draw 16 lucky guests from the lottery box in my hand. The places in this raffle box are the sign-in cards when we come to the hotel. Of course, don't regret the friends who haven't signed in, and then we will turn our grief and anger into appetite, eat and drink, and strive to win the championship of today's wine competition. ”
Then the two hosts read and drew one by one, and Li Yun and Zhao Wu delivered 16 mobile phones to each lucky guest. Looking at their smiling expressions, it was as if they had won the first prize of the lottery, and their smiles were bright and dazzling. After the lottery ended, the hostess spoke.
"Today's wedding celebration has come to an end for the time being. Next, our old club prepared some thin wine and mussels to show no respect, so before the start, we dared to send all the guests here a couplet. The upper link is: eat, eat all the delicious food in the world and don't waste, the next link is: drink, drink all the wine in the world and don't get drunk, horizontal criticism is a wise saying of Zhao Benshan: eat good and drink well! Finally, I wish all our guests and families a happy life, good health, family happiness and all the best! ”
"I would also like to thank our beautiful hosts for their wonderful words, and once again wish everyone a good meal and drink. Thank you all for your support, thank you!! Liu Wei and his partner, as well as Zhao Wu and Li Yun, stood on the stage and bowed to everyone in the audience to express their gratitude. Then, in a noisy atmosphere, the eating and drinking competition began.
The waiters are busy shuttling up and down the hotel with a variety of delicious dishes, and they are very busy. Because of the large number of people, the first, second and third floors of the hotel have been overcrowded, with 150 tables full of seats, and more than 1,000 wedding banquets. This time, for the wedding of the two, the loyal old man also calculated the blood cost. The delicacies on each table are superb, such as Boston lobster, four-headed abalone, Alaskan snow crab, and red eastern star grouper, etc., etc., it is not difficult to see that Zhong Lao is also very attentive to the wedding of Zhao Wu and Li Yun, and all kinds of precious seafood are gathered on the table of this wedding banquet.
"Loyalty, thank you. Makes you bothered. Li Zhendong and the others pushed open the door of the private room and saw Zhong Lao speak.
"Where is this, be polite to me, and look down on me as an old man?"
"How dare you, the children's affairs have really annoyed you and made you suffer a lot of losses."
"Dongzi, I'm so old, is it useful to ask for so much money? What loss is not lost, what should I do if I don't take care of my own children? It's all right, if you're so polite to me, then we'll have to talk about it in plain sight. ”
"Hahaha, the loyal old man is angry, Zhendongkou is unobstructed, he should be punished." As he spoke, he picked up the wine dispenser in front of the loyal elder and drank it all. And then he said.
"Well, it's a good drink. Soft in the mouth, good wine. ”
"You guy, you first hurt me when you entered the door, and now you are stealing my wine. I think you're just lawless. ”
As soon as Elder Zhong's words landed, there was a burst of laughter in the room, and several people pulled out their chairs and sat down in their primary and secondary positions.
"That's right, you just taught, you shouldn't be so polite, how dare I not listen." Li Zhendong had a sly expression on his face.
"I'm flying in the sky for 90 years, do you know what it means for you to go down?"
"That's reckless, little Liu'er, come, pour. Let me take a closer look. ”
"You, I really can't do anything about you now. Alright, I'll get you down to business. There are a few leaders above, and here in the next room, several major teams of the provincial party committee are accompaniing, and I will take you over to greet you later, businessmen. In the future, we will take care of each other. ”
