The wedding has just begun when the bride enters the door. According to the rules of Tang Dynasty weddings, there are many "items" to be held during the wedding ceremony.
According to the rules, the wedding ceremony should be held in Yang Jing's house, but modern wedding ceremonies are mostly held in hotels. After all, the home is too small to accommodate a large number of guests, so modern wedding ceremonies are mostly held in spacious hotels.
There are even more guests coming to Yang Jing's house today. There are over a hundred celebrities and politicians invited by Yang Jing alone. If you add the secretaries and bodyguards who accompany these celebrities and politicians, there are even more.
If we count the relationships of Yang's father and mother, and Yang Jing's own relationships, there would be as many as six or seven hundred guests who came to watch the ceremony today.
So before Yang Jing picked up the bride, a temporary stage more than one meter high and covering an area of more than 100 square meters was set up in front of the door of the Yang family villa. It was covered with a red carpet. The ceremony would be held on this stage.
When Yang Jing built these four villas for his own family to live in, he deliberately built a large square in front of the gate. Outside the square was the artificial river in the leisure park. The four villas were all surrounded by the river, with only a bridge leading to the outside.
This was done for safety and peace of mind. As long as the security personnel guarded the bridge, outsiders could not get in. Yang Jing was an investor in the Grand Canal Leisure Park, so he naturally had such privileges, and the higher-ups also agreed to this.
Now, this large square has come in handy.
Today's weather is particularly favorable. It just rained yesterday, so the temperature today is neither high nor low. There are quite a few clouds in the sky and there is no wind, so it is perfect to hold the ceremony outside.
At 11:18, accompanied by the famous host's joyful voice: "The auspicious time has come, the newlyweds come in, the groom's parents are invited to take their seats, the guests attending the ceremony are invited to take their seats, the joyful music begins..." the atmosphere on the scene immediately reached a climax again.
Thomas Garcia from the secretarial team is a really capable guy. Due to the style of the wedding ceremony, he did not invite the Yanjing Philharmonic Orchestra, but he invited the National Folk Orchestra instead. So the one who will be performing the live music today is this top Chinese folk music orchestra.
Suddenly, a piece of folk music "Bubugao" was heard in the small square in front of the spacious Yang family villa. Different from the "Wedding March" written by Wagner or the "Wedding March" composed by Mendelssohn that many modern young people use when getting married, today's wedding of Yang Jing and Gege was full of classical Chinese folk wedding music.
Just like the song "Bu Bu Gao" which has been passed down for who knows how many years, there are also songs such as "Eight Festivals of Long Joy", "Eight Harmonious Sounds", "Bai Mei Niang", "Feng Qiu Huang", "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", etc., all of which are classics in the Chinese Folk Customs Month.
"Please welcome the newlyweds..." the emcee shouted again, and the sound coming through the loudspeaker was particularly clear in the slightly noisy small square.
At this time, Yang Jing and Gege separated. Yang Jing went directly to the small stage, while Gege went into a red curtain next to the small stage.
When the princess walked out from the red curtain, she was holding a round Tang Dynasty fan in her hand, covering her cheeks. With smiling eyes, she walked slowly towards the stage on the red carpet, accompanied by maids on both sides.
Because it was a Tang Dynasty wedding, the princess did not wear a red veil on her head, but held a round fan.
According to the wedding rules of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Jing needed to perform the "Queshan Ceremony" to the bride, that is, the groom chanted a poem "Queshan Poem" to the bride.
According to the wedding rules of the Tang Dynasty, the ceremony of removing the fan is equivalent to the groom using a scale to remove the bride's red veil in the bridal chamber in later generations. It is a very important etiquette link. In the Tang Dynasty wedding, the bride did not have a red veil, and the round fan was equivalent to the bride's red veil, so the groom had to use the ceremony of removing the fan to remove the Tang fan from the bride's hand.
Yang Jing had memorized the Fan-Repelling Poem in advance, so when he finished reciting the Fan-Repelling Poem, the princess acted a little reserved, but still slowly put down the fan in her hand and smiled at Yang Jing.
Today's princess is radiant and dazzling. If the highest official among all the people present today is the groom, then among all the women present today, the most beautiful one is undoubtedly the princess.
The princess was extremely beautiful to begin with, and with her light makeup today and the joy that came from the bottom of her heart, her smile was instantly full of charm. As the saying goes, "One smile can conquer a city, another smile can conquer a country", and this description of the beautiful bride couldn't be more appropriate.
When the beautiful bride showed her face, cheers immediately broke out at the scene. Many foreign dignitaries and celebrities were moved by the princess's stunning beauty and even couldn't help whistling, making the scene even more lively.
After the fan-rejecting ceremony was completed, the sworn brotherhood ceremony was to be performed according to the procedure. Of course, before that, the MC introduced the identities of the bride and groom, the guests, the parents of the bride and groom, etc., and made many small climaxes with his jokes.
When all the guests were excited to the highest point, the master of ceremonies finally announced solemnly: "Next, it is the most exciting swearing-in ceremony. Please invite the newlyweds to step forward..."
After Yang Jing and Gege stood side by side, the master of ceremonies said: "On this auspicious day today, our Mr. Yang Jing and Miss Baiyu Gege, with their loving hearts, finally walked into this solemn and sacred wedding hall! This is exactly, a talented man matches a beautiful woman, a weaver girl matches a cowherd, the flowers are in full bloom, the moon is full, and the love lasts forever! The bride and groom bow to heaven and earth..."
