In Guangxi Province, there are not many five-star hotels. The wedding banquet halls of most five-star hotels can only accommodate dozens of tables, and it is extremely rare to find one that can accommodate hundreds of tables.
The reason why Jiang Feng booked this five-star hotel was because he was attracted by the hotel's wedding hall, which is an extra-large wedding hall that can accommodate 300 tables at the same time.
The wedding hall is called the Happiness Hall. It has a grand T-shaped stage and a large crystal chandelier. The whole hall is spacious and bright, and looks elegant and grand. With a little decoration, it becomes as beautiful as a fairyland.
As a wedding hall in a five-star hotel, the hotel is responsible for the decoration of both Chinese and Western weddings. After all, guests come here to hold their weddings, and we can't ask them to pay for the decoration themselves. That would be ridiculous.
Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei held a Chinese-style wedding. The entire wedding hall was decorated by the hotel in an antique style and looked very luxurious and grand.
As the wedding was about to begin, the entire wedding banquet venue was packed with people, with nearly three thousand guests from all over the world gathered together.
Among the guests were villagers from Longshan Village who had not seen much of the world, nationally famous stars, super rich second-generations whose family assets exceeded 100 billion yuan, and children of powerful and wealthy people whose ancestors and parents were extremely prominent.
Of course, there are many more guests from all walks of life.
Many people have never seen such a large wedding banquet in their lives.
As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together'. In order to make everyone have a good mood when attending the wedding, most wedding organizers will "categorize" the guests. This is a very important step in the wedding banquet. If the organizer does not do it well, it will spoil the fun for the guests.
For example, at the wedding of Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei, the people who came to attend the wedding included the children of officials, the second generation of rich people, big stars, and villagers who had been working in the fields all their lives for a living.
Can you imagine how it feels for a few villagers who have never seen the world to sit together with these well-informed second-generation officials, rich second-generations and big stars?
Not only the villagers felt uncomfortable, but everyone else felt uncomfortable as well.
Jiang Feng had already made arrangements for this, dividing the entire wedding hall into several areas, with the best areas reserved for the bride's relatives and friends as well as distinguished guests.
Other areas are also divided by different attributes. For example, more than 200 students from elementary school to university are divided into one area (Huang Lingwei’s classmates are also in this area, but unlike Jiang Feng, she did not invite all classmates, she only invited students with whom she had a good relationship), the villagers of Longshan Village are divided into one area, relatives and friends are divided into one area, and other customers are divided into one area.
According to this classification method, such embarrassing situations will basically not occur.
At this time, in addition to the large electronic screen on the main stage, there were four screens on both sides of the hall, all of which were playing Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei's various wedding photos and videos simultaneously.
In the wedding photos, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. No matter who sees it, they will praise them for their good looks.
"Master Jiang is worthy of being the beauty representative among the 'three representatives' in our class. He is so lucky. His wife is even more beautiful than those beautiful celebrities. I am so envious."
"The bride is not only beautiful, but also has a very special temperament. She looks like a lady from ancient times. Her every frown and smile is so elegant and generous. I guess she has received etiquette education since she was a child. Her family must be quite rich."
"Well, judging from the bride's noble demeanor, she must be a beautiful, wealthy woman."
"Banhua Tang, you have been working under Master Jiang for more than a year, so you should be familiar with the bride, right? Do you know where the bride came from? Tell us about it!"
Hearing the classmates' questions, Tang Anyun didn't mind revealing a few things, and said with a smile: "You guessed it right, the bride is indeed a real white, rich and beautiful woman, and she is also an only child. I don't know exactly how much assets her family has, but it is definitely not less than ten figures."
All the students were shocked when they heard this.
Even the wealth representative Li Wentao couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. When he was in college, he was a rich second-generation who was very popular in his class and the whole school. But his family's assets barely broke through nine figures, which was obviously far from ten figures.
But his old classmate Jiang Feng actually married a beautiful, rich girl whose family assets exceeded 1 billion, and she was an only child. This really made him so envious that his cock turned red.
The other students were similar, they were all extremely envious.
In addition to discussing the bride, the main topic of the students focused on the big stars in front of the T-shaped stage. They didn't know the children of officials and wealthy families, but they knew Xiao Min, Fan Xiaoli, Principal Gu, Teacher Yu, and Aunt Long, these famous stars.
Even though the classmates all knew that the marriages of these big stars were arranged by their old classmate Jiang Feng, and that the two sides must have some friendship, they were still very shocked to see these big stars attending their old classmate's wedding.
In another area, villagers from Longshan Village were also talking about several nationally famous stars who lived not far from them. For nearly three hundred villagers, it was the first time they saw the stars in real life, and they were extremely excited.
They have already made up their minds that after returning from the wedding, they will find someone to brag about it to; this is definitely a rare highlight in their lives.
This is awesome. They can brag about it for a few years at least.
For ordinary guests, being able to attend a wedding with these big stars is something worth bragging about for a long time, but for those real VIPs, the identity of a big star is naturally not worth mentioning to them.
However, except for Principal Gu and Teacher Yu, the men that the other three female stars dated are all people of prominent status, so everyone has to be polite to them.
In the area of relatives and friends.
As in-laws, the Qu family also came together to celebrate the wedding of Jiang Feng's brother-in-law, including Grandpa Qu, Grandma Qu, and grandpa and grandma-in-law. It can be said that they attach great importance to this in-law.
There is no way to ignore it. When Qu Wenhua and Jiang Xue got married last year, their Qu family raised more than two million yuan for the betrothal gift and bought a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, which can be considered a big deal.
As a result, the Jiang family's dowry consisted of a house and a car. The value of these two items alone far exceeded the gift they gave. Moreover, Jiang Xue also brought back 880,000 yuan as a dowry. Together with the miscellaneous dowry, the Qu family saw the wealth of the Jiang family.
The most important thing is that Jiang Xue herself has a net worth of tens of millions.
As soon as she got married, the Qu family immediately treated Jiang Xue like a princess and would not dare to let her suffer any grievance. It was a great honor for their family to marry such a daughter-in-law.
Now, the guests have all arrived and the wedding is about to begin. Qu Wenhua excitedly returned to their table and whispered about the gift money to his family. His family members were stunned and shocked beyond words.
To be honest, the financial situation of the Qu family can be considered quite good. Before Jiang Xue married into their family, the assets of the Qu family were worth tens of millions.
After all, one can easily scrape together more than three million in cash, so it is not surprising that he has assets of tens of millions.
Moreover, Qu's father is the president of the city bank, and Qu's mother is the vice-president of a school, so they have a decent social status.
But even for a family like the Qu family, it was hard to imagine what it meant to receive a gift of 10 or 20 million yuan for a wedding. This really subverted their imagination.
At this moment, the Qu family's regard for this relative-in-law was raised to a higher level.
…
VIP area.
Wei Xuefeng and Xia Lingling sat at the same table with four wealthy women, Cai Juan, Lu Ping, Su Yao and Qi Meihua. The men of these four wealthy women were all tall and mighty, exuding a strong masculine aura, and they looked capable at first glance.
Sitting at the same table for dinner, the other eight people were old acquaintances, except Wei Xuefeng and Xia Lingling and their wife, who were strangers. Naturally, they had to introduce themselves to each other and get to know each other.
Wei Xuefeng was not shy either. He greeted everyone and introduced himself, "My name is Wei Xuefeng. I'm from Panzhou, Guangdong Province. I'm in the scrap metal business. This is my wife Xia Lingling. What are your names?"
Cai Juan smiled and said, "Boss Wei, Madam Wei, hello. My name is Cai Juan. I opened a blind massage center in the provincial capital. This is my husband Gong Changhe."
Lu Ping continued, introducing herself: "My name is Lu Ping, I'm an unemployed vagrant, barely making ends meet by collecting rent, and this is my husband Ma Datong."
Qi Meihua smiled and said, "My name is Qi Meihua. I opened a decoration company here in the provincial capital. If Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei need anything, you can find me. This is my husband Cao Daying."
Su Yao smiled and said, "My name is Su Yao. The XX Hotel on XX Road is mine. Please take care of me, Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei. This is my husband, Kong Nanshan."
Listening to the self-introductions of the four wealthy ladies, Wei Xuefeng couldn't help but secretly sigh, as expected, none of the people who could sit in this area were simple.
The four wealthy women also expressed similar feelings in their hearts. Although they did not achieve great success in their careers, their vision of people was not bad. With Wei Xuefeng's figure and appearance, he was able to marry a beautiful wife like Xia Lingling. If someone said that his family background was not good, they would never believe it even if they were beaten to death.
Everyone knows that more friends mean more paths, so the two sides started chatting tacitly, and soon they were talking and laughing, just like old friends.
Xia Lingling, Gong Changhe, Cao Daying, Kong Nanshan and Ma Datong had little chance to say anything. Even though they were living a wealthy life now, it was still a short time after all. In addition, they did not interfere much in their lovers' careers, so naturally they could only listen in such occasions.
Fortunately, both Wei Xuefeng and the four wealthy ladies had high emotional intelligence and did not treat them as real spectators. They quickly brought up other topics and allowed them to participate in the conversation.
…
Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei's wedding will naturally not be lacking in well-known hosts, famous bands and very professional dance teams.
The wedding opened with a wonderful finger dance.
Several young ladies wearing veils and sexy clothes stepped onto the T-shaped stage. As a rapid and rhythmic drum beat sounded, the young ladies looked at the guests below with seductive eyes, and their slender and agile fingers danced rhythmically, each time accurately hitting the drum beat, which was a pleasure to watch.
The stunning finger dance in just fifteen seconds instantly ignited the emotions of the guests.
When the young ladies left the stage, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Next, the host came on stage and with a few simple words, invited the bride and groom out.
Then, the groom Jiang Feng, wearing the top scholar's robe, and the bride Huang Lingwei, wearing the phoenix coronet and bridal veil, made their grand appearance.
The outfits of the bride and groom were both custom-made at great expense. Not to mention Jiang Feng's top scholar robe, the most beautiful and majestic one was the phoenix coronet and bridal robe on Huang Lingwei, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei did not completely follow the steps of a Chinese wedding. The two willful people did not give a long speech after they came on stage. They simply made a few speeches, expressing their gratitude to their parents and the guests for attending the wedding, and then announced the start of the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth.
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
"Bow to your parents!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
The whole process was extremely simple. After worshiping heaven and earth, the hotel received the signal, and then hundreds of waiters began to serve the dishes. The whole scene was coordinated, so it can be said to be busy but not chaotic. In less than ten minutes, all the dishes were served.
After worshipping heaven and earth, Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei changed into Hanfu and came over to toast.
According to the customs and habits of Jiang Feng's place, the first people to be toasted are the wedding guests, that is, the relatives and friends who are seeing the bride off.
They didn't have any special best man or bridesmaid for their wedding. Instead, they recruited young men and asked the matchmaker from the matchmaking agency to serve as best man and bridesmaid. Their main job was to help out with things like serving wine and pouring it.
As the groom's parents, Jiang's father and mother naturally had to join in the toast.
Of course, they don't have to drink much. The reason why the groom's parents have to toast along is, on the one hand, to show their respect for the guests, and on the other hand, to help introduce the guests' identities.
After all, the bride and groom do not know many of the relatives who rarely visit the house, as well as the parents’ own friends, so the parents must help introduce their identities when they toast.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for marrying such an outstanding daughter to me. From now on, I will be half your son. This glass of wine is for you."
Huang's father and mother looked at their daughter and son-in-law who were standing together, looking very well matched. They raised their glasses and clinked them with each other, saying "good" with smiles on their faces.
The four of them drank a glass together, and then Huang Yuanjia reminded them: "Xiao Feng, Weiwei, you don't have a best man or bridesmaid to help you drink, so just show your respect to us. There are so many guests to toast later!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay. We know what we are doing." As he spoke, he toasted the other wedding guests at the table one by one, and basically drank every glass of wine, showing great respect.
Fortunately, they were using small wine glasses for strong liquor, and the liquor was foreign liquor mixed with a lot of beverages. Even with their alcohol tolerance, they could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
