It wasn’t just Kiara’s mother who focused on these aspects, the Old Yates Family also took them very seriously.
Kiara had to change into four different outfits today, all of which were handmade by embroidery artisans in advance, following the ancient style to the letter.
The daughter-in-law of the Old Yates Family wouldn’t wear a wedding dress; the ceremony had to be done in traditional Chinese attire.
This wasn’t a decision made by Mr. Yuno, but a requirement from the Old Master of the Yuno Family.
The outfit Kiara was wearing at the moment was the first one and also the most important wedding attire, embroidered with complex patterns in gold thread on red silk that veiled her stunning beauty. Yet through the fine embroidery, Mario could fully imagine the beautiful and noble face beneath the bridal veil.
Even with the veil between them and just by looking at her petite figure sitting there, Mario was transfixed, staring with such intensity that had the best man next to him not nudged him, he might have stood at the doorway forever, his gaze as fervent as if he wanted to whisk the bride away on the spot.
Mario had been out drinking with his childhood friends until the early morning, and though he had a high tolerance, he was slightly tipsy, but it didn’t affect his excitement one bit.
The steps of a classical wedding ceremony were especially complicated, but Mario loved every intricate part of the process.
One end of the red silk was in his hands, and the other in hers, leading her slowly toward the carriages outside, with each step a memory of love.
He couldn’t see her face, but he could feel her presence.
Kiara, who seldom let her emotions show, was a bit nervous at this moment.
She didn’t know what Mario was feeling on the other side of the red cloth, but as she walked, there was ultimately only one phrase circling in her heart.
A strand of red silk, two people holding the embroidered ball, the Moon Elder destines three lifetimes.
In this life, she had no regrets marrying Camden, only wishing that in the next life, she would be fortunate enough to be his wife again.
In a traditional Chinese wedding, the bride is supposed to be lifted onto the palanquin by her brother. Giorno had even removed his cast early for this moment, but when Mario saw him limping, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Kiara stood quietly, waiting for Giorno to lift her onto the palanquin.
As the best man, Zeke noticed Mario staring at the bride’s brother and quickly whispered a word of caution,
“Restrain yourself, dude, restrain!”
But the childhood friend’s warning came too late.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
Kiara, her face covered by the veil, couldn’t see, but she first heard silence and then the room erupted in laughter. She felt light, and her whole body was resting against a familiar back. This touch wasn’t Giorno’s at all, it was clearly her husband!
“Mario! That’s your brother-in-law’s duty, how can you take over?”
Somebody teased, as Giorno, pushed aside, looked aggrieved. Wasn’t it agreed that the bride’s brother would do the lifting? Now the groom had taken over, pushing the brother to the side. What was the meaning of this?!
“I am her brother! From today onward, I’m not only her brother but also her husband, and I have to take care of her for the rest of our lives! Who dares to object?”
Mario couldn’t bear to entrust his wife to the not-so-steady Giorno. What if he dropped his dearly beloved wife?!
The crowd laughed loudly, as the expensive host-cum-director on scene, sweating profusely, felt an urge to shout, “Hey, the man who’s changing the ceremony, put the bride down!”
But assessing Mario’s physique, along with his unashamedly love-struck face, the host silently suppressed the impulse, preferring not to get beaten up, he thought it best to keep quiet!
Having hijacked the brother’s role, Camden still remembered to pull out the prepared red envelope from his pocket and stuff it into Giorno’s hand with one move.
“Thanks, bro!”
“…it’s me who should be thanking you.” Giorno reluctantly took the red envelope, which was supposed to be given by Mario Yuno to his bride’s brother. But Kiara ended up snatching the task herself; the act of taking the envelope was really… tsk tsk tsk ah!
Hearing the roaring laughter around her, Kiara no longer minded the hot veil covering her.
Previously, she was quite reluctant to wear this thing. Not to mention the heat, there was also the legend about King Zhou beheading his aunt that she found off-putting, feeling it symbolized the oppression of women. It was only after much persuasion from Kiara’s mother and some beautiful legends provided by Father Johnson that Kiara begrudgingly agreed to have it on.
But at this moment, she felt having this thing was quite good, not being able to see Ethan Yuno making a fool of himself. Let him embarrass himself alone; after all, with her face covered, no one could see her…
The groom dismounted gracefully and shot three arrows precisely at the sedan door, and the bride stepped over the fire basin. As the saying goes, “Like a phoenix stepping over, she crosses the fire basin with ease; evil spirits hide on either side, signifying felicity descending from heaven, and all is auspicious and well.”
The wedding ceremony allowed the guests to witness the complexity of the Chinese wedding and the many wonderful meanings behind it. The highly-paid host finally recovered from the shock of the groom stealing the show, with his clear calls accompanied by beautiful blessings, passing the wishes on to the newlyweds.
After the official ceremony, from this moment on, Kiara was now a member of the Old Yates Family.
Up until this part, the traditional wedding ceremony was completed. Since they still had to go to the hotel to entertain the guests, Kiara just needed to finish the hair entwining ceremony and then she could change her clothes. Following that, she would go to the hotel with Mario Yuno to greet the guests, instead of following the old customs and waiting in the bridal room. So, Mario Yuno was allowed to lift the bride’s veil early with a scale weight tied in red cloth, and then they each cut a lock of hair to exchange as symbols of their bonded hearts. Once the hair entwining was done, they could thank the matchmaker and change clothes.
Mario Yuno had been holding back for so long and finally got to the moment when he could lift the veil to see his little bride!
Just as the scale weight tied with red cloth was only a little distance from the red veil–
“Youngest, there’s a call for you.” Second Brother rushed over with Mario Yuno’s cell phone in hand, looking very anxious.
Time seemed to freeze.
Mario Yuno was incredibly frustrated.
He really wanted to roar, “I’m not answering, I’ve waited so many years just for this moment!”
But he also knew that it was impossible not to answer, because at this time, only his old unit would call on this number, and if they called, it meant he had to go.
On one side was the stunningly beautiful bride, on the other was the call to duty.
That second seemed to last for several years, and Mario Yuno was filled with an immense reluctance.
Just then, a clear instruction came from beneath the veil.
“Answer.”
Sitting there, Mr. Yuno, Mother Yuno, and Kiara’s mother all changed their expressions. Mother Yuno reflexively glared at Mr. Yuno.
Her look said, “What kind of tricks are you playing? Who calls during a son’s wedding ceremony?!”
Mr. Yuno’s expression was one of innocence; he had no control over this! He could make decisions about company matters, but this time it definitely wasn’t the company calling. It should be a call from his son’s old unit. Plus, he honestly didn’t know about this!
Even though Mario Yuno had left the old unit, if they needed him, he had to go back at any time–it was his obligation and mission.
Kiara’s mother’s mind was completely blank, probably the only one capable of maintaining calm at the scene was Kiara herself.
When Mario Yuno heard her say to answer, his heart shattered into eight pieces, each one inscribed with the words, “My wife, I owe you an apology!”
“This is Mario Yuno speaking, yes, I’ll return to the unit immediately!”
His words shattered the joy in the room, the atmosphere suddenly turned solemn.
The wedding ceremony was now completely finished, and Kiara was formally a daughter-in-law of the family, the marriage officially recognized with due ceremony.
But even though the ancient customs were completed, what about entertaining the guests?
