PNB Chapter 429 Group Wedding
Chapter 429 Group Wedding
The next day was the wedding.
With the help of Wen Qingyun from the Ministry of Rites and his team, everything was ready.
There is no such thing as picking up the bride in southern Xinjiang, the wedding is held directly in the hotel.
When Gu Xi passed through the hall, he saw someone carrying a huge photo and hanging it on the wall.
The photo is filled with young men and women, with the Lan Wei couple in the center.
Gu Xi was surprised:
"You also included all the best men and bridesmaids in the wedding photos? No, who would have so many best men and bridesmaids in a wedding?"
Chu Zhao didn't know either. Lan Wei was not there at the moment, so no one could answer Gu Xi's question.
Wen Qingyun invited Gu Xi to the temporary podium built on the lawn and asked her to sit and wait. When the auspicious time came, she would be invited to speak on stage as the witness.
Not long after, the music started and the wedding officially began.
Gu Xi and Chu Zhao stood on the podium.
Then, Lan Wei was seen holding Nan Keling's hand and walking slowly towards the lawn from the hotel.
Behind them, there were one, two, three pairs...
Gu Xi knew some of them. They were the special forces she assigned to Lan Wei.
Their clothes were all the same as Lan Weinan and Keling's, bright red wedding gowns.
This……
Isn't that what the best man and bridesmaids should wear?
When Lan Wei walked to the front of the podium, he said:
"Your Majesty, are you surprised? Are you surprised? This year you are not only officiating the wedding for Ke Ling and me, but also for ninety-nine other newlywed couples."
What? Gu Xi blinked.
"Are you holding a group wedding?" Gu Xi understood instantly.
Nan Keling nodded:
"That's right, Your Majesty. I didn't inform you in advance because I wanted to give you a surprise. The girls in our southern border are as discerning as I am and have set their sights on Han men. Among these newlyweds, more than half of the grooms are men from the Central Plains."
Gu Xi twitched his lips, and a line of lyrics appeared in his mind again: Dad is my home, Mom is my home...
The people she sent to work in southern Xinjiang could not escape the fate of being favored by the women of southern Xinjiang.
Gu Xi teased:
"Is this what you said at the beginning, that Southern Xinjiang would stay in a corner and not accept the traditions of the Central Plains?"
Nan Keling's face turned slightly red. Oh, she was slapped in the face!
When Southern Xinjiang surrendered to Fengyi Kingdom, the condition she proposed was that the people of Southern Xinjiang should not live together with the Han people, but what happened in the end?
The girls in southern Xinjiang are really good at giving birth to Han boys. Well, she was the first to do so.
Lan Wei added:
"Your Majesty, please don't tease Ke Ling. We helped you solve the lifelong affairs of those special forces soldiers. You should reward us."
Haha, you really protect your wife.
Gu Xi nodded:
"These special forces have been with me for almost a year. They have been fighting all over the world. It's time for them to start a family. Everyone who gets married today will receive a big red envelope. When I return to Beijing, I will hold a large-scale blind date show to contribute to the population development of Fengyi Country!"
Chu Zhao looked at Gu Xi with resentment.
Your Majesty, please take the lead.
Gu Xi swiped around in the space and thought, "Well, just give each team of newcomers two big gold bars."
When the auspicious time arrived, the master of ceremonies called out to everyone to bow in the hall.
One hundred couples lined up neatly, looking very pretty.
"Bow to the Empress!"
Gu Xi was stunned. Wasn't it to bow to heaven and earth? How did it become to bow to her?
But she was now standing on the podium, waiting to be the witness, but she accepted the bow first.
The host said: "Your Majesty, please witness the wedding of the newlyweds!"
Gu Xi was well prepared. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket, on which was a printout of the marriage certificate that she had copied from the Internet.
She took the microphone and read:
"Dear guests, today, I have been entrusted by Nanjiang Governor Nan Keling and Huaxia Land President Lan Wei to serve as the witness for the bride and groom."
"As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years to be able to ride the same boat together, and a thousand years to be able to sleep on the same pillow together. Fate has brought you together, and love has brought you together hand in hand. As your witness, I wish you everlasting love, long-lasting happiness, and a lifetime of companionship!"
After Gu Xi finished his brief speech, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
When the applause ended, the host shouted again:
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
On the right side of the podium sat many parents and elders of the newlyweds. Lan Wei's parents sat in the middle, with four elders on both sides.
The newlyweds bowed in unison again.
"Please ask the parents of the newlyweds to send their blessings to the newlyweds on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Lan!"
Lan's father and mother stood up excitedly and took the microphone.
They are all ordinary people and have never been so glorious in their lives.
I didn't expect that thanks to that brat Lan Wei, I could speak in this place where so many important people gather.
Father Lan was so excited that he stuttered:
"Children...congratulations...congratulations to you..."
Lan's mother rolled her eyes at him, snatched the microphone and said:
"My children, congratulations on your marriage! Today is the most special day in your life. As your parents, we hope that you and your partner will spend every beautiful moment of your life together, supporting each other and helping each other. I wish you a happy wedding and a long life together! At the same time, I would like to thank all the relatives and friends who attended the wedding and witnessed their happy moment together!"
There was another thunderous applause.
Gu Xi gave a thumbs up to Lan's mother. He actually gave an impromptu speech. How amazing!
The host continued with the next part.
"Couple greetings!"
One hundred grooms on the left and one hundred brides on the right bow to each other.
After the worship, the host said:
"Please ask the newlyweds, Mr. Lan Wei and Ms. Nan Keling, to give their wedding speeches!"
Lan Wei took the microphone and looked at Nan Keling affectionately.
The voice was low but firm:
"Ke Ling, at this beautiful moment, I want to express my gratitude to you. You are beautiful, kind, and intelligent. My world has become more perfect because of you. I hereby promise that we will spend this life together. My bride, please take care of me for the rest of my life!"
As he spoke, Lan Wei knelt on one knee, took out the ring, and put it on Nan Keling's ring finger.
Nan Keling said excitedly:
"Awei, I will love you forever and ever and will never let you down!"
This time it wasn't applause, but cheering:
"Kiss me! Kiss me..."
Nan Keling didn't hesitate and put her arms around Lan Wei's neck and kissed him.
“Yohoo…” There was another round of booing from below.
Finally, the three bows were over, and the newlyweds each held their husbands' and wives' hands, ready to return to the bridal chamber as soon as the host shouted "enter the bridal chamber."
The host shouted:
"No rush for the wedding night!"
The newcomers staggered.
The host smiled and said:
"It's broad daylight, why are you in a bridal chamber? Let's have dinner!"
Everyone burst into laughter and it was very lively.
There were many long tables on the grass, and exquisite dishes and pastries were served.
Anyone present, regardless of age or gender, can use it freely.
Due to limited space, each community could only send twenty representatives. Together with the two hundred newlyweds and numerous parents and elders, there were almost a thousand people on the scene.
Outside, a buffet was also arranged, and all the people in southern Xinjiang had a share and could enjoy the wedding banquet.
On this day, the entire southern Xinjiang was as lively as the New Year.
