"bridegroom?"
"exist!"
"bride?"
"exist!"
“Very good, now is there anything you would like to say to the two elders?” After Ye Wanying finished speaking, she handed the microphone to the groom.
Old Xu's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses: "I only have two words for my parents - gratitude! I thank them for giving birth to me, and for raising me. Now that I'm grown up and have my own family, I will take on the responsibilities of my family and take good care of my parents."
"The groom did a great job, shouldn't we all give him some encouragement?"
(Clap clap, another round of applause.)
"Our groom has just finished. Now, we'd like to ask the bride, what do you want from these two elderly people?"
The microphone was still handed to Zhang Qian.
Having learned from Lao Xu's example, Zhang Qian's mind didn't freeze, though she was still incredibly nervous. However, her tone, gaze, and expression after speaking conveyed a serious and earnest tone.
"What I want to say to my two elders is that from now on, I will be a good daughter-in-law of the Xu family, be filial to my parents and elders, and take good care of everyone."
He spoke tremblingly, pausing several times in the middle.
However, Ye Wanying didn't make things difficult for Zhang Qian and put the microphone away after she finished speaking.
"With so many friends and family witnessing this, the newlyweds have made their promises, and we believe they will do even better. Now, please have the newlyweds serve tea to their parents."
The tea had been brewed long ago, and after it was served, Lao Xu and Zhang Qian each offered a bowl of tea to the two elderly people.
The old lady couldn't stop smiling. She took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it directly to her daughter-in-law, adding, "If this boy ever bullies you, tell Mom. Mom will stand up for you."
Zhang Qian was touched: "Thank you, Mom."
Old Man Xu, standing nearby, echoed the old lady's words: "Your mother is right. If Yue Zhang dares to wrong you, we will all be your support."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large red envelope was placed in Zhang Qian's hand.
"Thank you, Dad!"
As the biological son, Lao Xu didn't receive a single red envelope.
The two elderly people had already left the stage. At this moment, Ye Wanying gave a wink to the two female soldiers below the stage, and soon, each of the female soldiers brought up a cup of tea.
(Drinking alcohol is not allowed in the military, so tea was used instead.)
After the two newcomers received the tea, Ye Wanying nodded to the two female soldiers, and the two quickly left the stage.
Ye Wanying, the emcee, spoke into the microphone again: "Friends, I would like to offer a special blessing to our newlyweds. Would you all like to stand up?"
Raise your glasses, and after I count to three, let's toast with our deepest blessings and wishes to the newlyweds! May they have a happy marriage, grow old together, and be forever united! Shall we all join in after I count to three?
"one two three"
"cheers"
The wedding ceremony, which couldn't be simpler, was now complete, and Ye Wanying was filled with excitement:
"Now, please take your seats, bride and groom."
After the newlyweds took their seats, Ye Wanying addressed everyone, saying, "On behalf of the newlyweds, I would like to express my gratitude to all the guests for coming, and sincerely wish you all a wonderful evening and a prosperous and auspicious life in the future!"
