As Ou Yangguang watched her walk towards him, his heart skipped a beat and then raced.
He instinctively straightened his back, his palms even slightly sweaty. It was clearly just a TV shoot, but when the "bride" actually appeared before him in that image, the genuine flutter in his heart still struck him.
The photographer was clearly adept at guiding the emotions. "Groom, you can take the bride's hand now." "Eye contact, yes, a little gentler... Imagine, this is your most important day." "The bride can lean slightly on the groom's shoulder..."
At the photographer's direction, they struck various intimate poses. Fingers intertwined, foreheads touching, she leaned gently against him, and he held her waist... The warmth of their skin touching, the distance of their breaths mingling, and the scent of her makeup mixed with her own rose and fig fragrance—all felt incredibly real.
Ou Yangguang tried to remain calm, but the heat in his ears and the fleeting panic when their eyes occasionally met were intense and hard to completely conceal.
After the Western-style white wedding dress shoot, it was time for evening gowns and cheongsams. Kim Ji-won looked elegant and mysterious in a burgundy velvet evening gown; in a royal blue embroidered cheongsam, she exuded the unique grace and charm of an Eastern woman. Ou Yangguang also changed into different styles of white suits and navy blue Chinese-style suits.
Every time she appeared in a different outfit, she brought a new level of amazement. The tacit understanding and gradually relaxed intimacy between the two grew freely both on and off camera.
The last two sets of traditional costumes had a different atmosphere. When the Chinese wedding dress was adorned with its intricate and exquisite embroidery and vibrant gold and red, a solemn sense of ceremony arose spontaneously.
The two performed a simple ancient ceremony, sharing a cup and exchanging toasts, as if they were truly having a traditional Chinese wedding.
When dressed in elegant hanbok, their movements become more subtle and graceful, with bows and salutations full of traditional Korean beauty.
The shoot lasted all day, from the first light of dawn until the city lights came on. I changed into eight different outfits and adjusted my expressions and poses countless times. My body was exhausted, but my mind remained in a strange state of excitement and energy.
When the director finally shouted, "All filming is complete, thank you for your hard work!" Ou Yangguang felt a wave of intense fatigue wash over him. He looked at Kim Ji-won, who had also taken off her heavy headdress and changed back into her down jacket. She was looking at him too, and the two smiled at each other.
"Today...it really feels like a wedding." Kim Ji-won walked over and said with a soft laugh, her tone teasing but also carrying a hint of barely perceptible emotion.
Ou Yangguang nodded, looked into her eyes, and said very seriously, "Nuna looks...very, very beautiful today."
Kim Ji-won's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked away, but couldn't help but smile. "You're... very handsome too."
The day's wedding photoshoot has come to an end. The camera captured their journey from their youthful innocence on campus, to their solemn vows in the wedding hall, and finally to the fusion of traditions across cultures.
These captured photos will be broadcast on the show in the future, becoming a significant part of the "Golden Couple's" love story.
For Oh Sunny and Kim Ji-won behind the camera, this day, a complex experience blending performance, genuine emotion, professional collaboration, and subtle feelings, may well become a unique and unforgettable moment in their memories.
It is as dreamy and beautiful as a fairy tale, yet it is also like a mirage, clearly reflecting certain real emotions, but separated by a transparent barrier between the program and reality.
