Chapter 1001: Chapter 999_1

Under the gaze of countless people, Jingrui and Zhu Yan blushed as they sincerely and nervously recited the vows that Xiao’er had revised.

There was no priest, it was simply a swearing, without involving religious words, just two people making promises or vows to each other face to face.

Jingrui: "I, Shen Jingrui, vow to take Zhu Yan as my wife, love her for a lifetime...regardless of illness or poverty, never leave."

Zhu Yan: "I, Zhu Yan, vow to take Shen Jingrui as my husband, love him, respect him...never leave."

If everyone was slightly teary before, at this moment many were genuinely moved to tears.

Especially some ladies who were waiting to get married, they were so moved: How they wished to marry such a man! How they hoped their future husbands could make such promises to them like Young Master Shen.

For some ladies who were engaged and about to get married, their hearts were even more touched, they too couldn’t help but desire such a wedding.

After all, ancient people were superstitious, for women such public oath was too attractive!

Then the host’s voice rang again: "The romance of flowers is just some embellishment of life, but underneath the romance is our real life!

From this moment on, you should know that married life faces more mundane things like firewood, rice, oil, and salt every day. Simple and plain life is a real life for married couples, you both need to learn to protect this ordinary happiness.

We now move on to the next step: The groom and bride, please exchange rings. Wedding rings are worn on the left hand’s ring finger. The left hand connects to the heart, implying that the couple’s hearts can understand each other!

Don’t underestimate this small ring, it is more than just a token, it will remind you: the responsibility you have towards your other half, and your family.

Promises and vows are weighty words, from now on, when you see the ring on your hand, you should remember that you are carrying a load!

Being husband and wife is one body, the husband in charge outside and the wife in charge inside, shoulder the burden of the family together! Walk hand in hand towards a better future together."

Following the host’s words, Jingrui and Zhu Yan seriously and attentively began to put rings on each other. This ceremony gave one a sense of sanctity, in no way inferior to the traditional bowing ceremony.

The host’s words and the couple’s vows moved many present, it also made some people thoughtful and reflective.

At this point, the wedding ceremony was almost done, next would be the speeches from the father of the bride, the groom: Shen Chengyao, Master Zhu, and Jingrui. They merely said some conventional words, such as thanking the guests for their blessings.

The final part was the bride tossing the bouquet!

After the speeches, the host started speaking again:

"I’ve heard, a bride tossing a bouquet represents passing on happiness. Those ladies who are not yet married, please come this way, prepare for the bride to toss the bouquet to you. Are you ready to catch the bouquet, who knows, the next blessed one could be you!"

Upon hearing these words, the ladies almost went crazy, they hurried to the open space, raised their hands high, waiting for Zhu Yan to throw the bouquet, so they could be the first to grab it.

"Give it to me!"

"Give it to me!"

"I want the flower! Throw it here!"

"Throw it here!"

...

When all the young ladies came to the reserved space near the stage, Zhu Yan looked at the excited ladies. She made a powerful throw, tossing the bouquet high into the sky.

The beautiful flower ball traced a parabola through the air, then fell into the arms of one of the girls.

"Ah! I got the happiness! I got it!" The girl stood dazed for a moment and then couldn’t help but cheer.

Everyone else looked at her with envious eyes, their faces full of disappointment.

The host timely said some congratulations, and then he ended, "Respected guests, the wedding ceremony has been successfully completed, thanks for your support and participation, now I declare the wedding banquet officially begins! Please enjoy your meals and have a wonderful afternoon."

As the melodic music continued to play, waiters pushed food carts and delivered one beautifully presented dish after another to each table.

The guests in the main hall were buzzing. Even the delightful food couldn’t distract them from their inner excitement!

The ceremony was truly touching!

"Who would have thought a wedding ceremony could be like this? It’s very touching, I feel like going back to my maiden days and having another wedding!" Mrs. Lai couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Isn’t it? Especially during the vows, if my husband had made such vows to me, I would be willing to work like a horse!" Another lady couldn’t help but agree on hearing these words.

Her husband spent all day with his concubines, the couple lived only in name. Still, she desired her husband to consider her as the first priority.

"I was moved to tears! Especially when Miss Zhu’s father handed her hand to Young Master Shen, his reluctance reminded me of my own parents’ reluctance when I got married."

"Too touching, I insist! When my son gets married, I’m going to give him a wedding like this!"

"Mother, when I get married, I want a wedding like this one! It’s so touching." Some ladies couldn’t help but speak up.

"You shameless girl, how dare you voice such a request! It’s not for me to decide, it’s the groom’s family who decides!"

"Mother, you could mention it to them at the time!" The girl coaxed.

"I don’t have your audacity!" Although the lady also hoped her daughter could have such a wedding and receive such a commitment from the groom, she really didn’t have the nerve to ask.

"I don’t care, if they’re not hosting such a wedding, I won’t get married!"

At the table, everyone chatted enthusiastically about the recent wedding while enjoying the delicious food.

...

Everyone had forgotten their initial disapproval of this new type of wedding ceremony, they were busy recalling which part moved them the most.

Everything needs packaging, a wedding ceremony that breaks away from traditional customs needs beautiful implications to wrap around and be accepted by everyone, even cause an admiration! To strike an emotional chord!

Xiao’er knew that everyone could accept things with good connotations, so she deliberately arranged some beautiful metaphoric speeches!

Indeed, many people were moved, stirred!

Even those who were not sure if such "mischief" was really okay, after watching the entire wedding process, they were moved and felt that it was wonderful and significant!

Of course, there were still some conservative people. However, Xiao’er maintained the traditions like "first bow to Heaven and Earth..." and added elements that were more liked by young men and women. Xiao’er believes that such a wedding will surely be accepted by everyone, just like in modern times.

Of course, this process would take time, there’s no rush! There’s plenty of time in the future~~
