Chapter 1103 Not Festive at All
Jian Yan and Lu Jinxiu, holding hands, accepted the guests' blessings and thanked them with a smile. The bridesmaids and groomsmen followed them to receive gifts.
Yingchun and others who had attended the wedding of Lu Yuxiu and Xia Chu were now as disappointed as they were originally looking forward to the wedding of Jian Yan and Lu Jinxiu.
"Depend on!"
Xiao Mo said angrily, "This wedding format is too bad! I finally understand why people nowadays don't like to hold weddings. It doesn't have that atmosphere!"
A rose with a huge rose blossoming nearby sighed, "Alas, this wedding isn't festive at all. It's such a waste of Yanyan's beautiful wedding dresses!"
Yingchun sighed, "It's not as lively as Chuchu and Xiaoyuer's wedding!"
Yin Yue chuckled, "It's not going to be lively at all, their status is too high!"
That's true. None of the people attending the wedding today are simple. Any guest you pick out is a big shot who can be on the 7:30 news.
With that status, one naturally needs to pay attention to one's image.
Fu Doudou had a strange train of thought. He took out a bamboo shoot and chewed it while saying, "I saw that Yanyan has six sets of clothes. Will she need to change clothes later?"
Yingchun, "It has to be changed. One set for receiving blessings, one set for giving a speech on stage, and the rest have to be changed at different times."
Xia Xiaohu was puzzled, "What's the meaning of changing so many clothes?"
"No."
The butler, who was accompanying a group of overlords, explained upon hearing the sound, "It just looks good."
Overlords, "...is it simply beautiful?"
The butler nodded.
The overlords were speechless. The weirdness of this wedding really exceeded their expectations. It felt even more boring than the weddings of their high-end beastmen and plant tribes.
So, if it's so boring, why hold such a big wedding?
"That's what weddings are like."
Hearing this, the butler was at a loss.
Thinking of Yingchun's previous sigh, he asked, "What was the wedding of Xia Chu and Lu Yuxiu's ancestors like?"
“···”
Recalling Xia Chu and Lu Yuxiu's wedding, Yingchun recounted it in detail, then asked the housekeeper, "Do weddings nowadays even omit steps like the ceremony and the oath-taking ceremony?"
Master Lu, who had witnessed the entire process, laughed and said, "It's not that they were omitted, but these two procedures don't exist at all in imperial weddings."
Taking an oath, getting married, what is that?
Long, long ago, the daily life of the people of the Empire was war and survival.
Later, the war stopped and the empire finally gained a foothold in the Xuanyun Galaxy, and began to work hard on construction and development.
Later, the Empire struggled to become one of the three major civilizations in the Xuanyun Galaxy, and humans finally lived a stable, peaceful and happy life.
Then, the imperial people developed the habit of doing things in a comfortable and convenient way.
To sum it up in one sentence, no matter how simple something can be, try to make it as simple as possible.
Marriage is no longer a necessity in the eyes of the imperial people whose life expectancy is increasing. For those who are willing to get married, getting a paper marriage certificate is a commitment.
As for weddings, it is no exaggeration to say that the people of the Empire do not have the concept of having to hold a wedding just because they get a marriage certificate.
If there is no wedding ceremony, there will be no vows and ceremonies.
Anyway, in an orthodox imperial wedding, the only procedure the bride and groom needed to go through was to accept the guests' blessings and gifts.
After hearing the old man's explanation, Yingchun and the others fell silent.
That's fine!
Who made the people of the empire not care about form and have no sense of ceremony?
At worst, after they return to Blue Star, they can hold a wedding for Yanyan and Lu Zaizi according to the Blue Star model to make up for it.
