Chapter 328 Wedding Discussion Part 2
This time the marriage certificate was brought over, and Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian both wrote their names on it and put their fingerprints on it. Grandpa Yu also wrote his name in the witness position, and because it was written by the professor, his name was also on it.
After the two signed their names, the marriage certificate was kept by Lin Nanzhi.
In this way, the two families and the matchmaker and witness invited from both sides took their seats.
To be honest, they had never held a Chinese-style wedding. All the weddings in Wumeng were done the same way. They would invite a matchmaker to come to the house to agree on the gift and dowry, and then set a date. They didn't know where to start at this point.
Wen Jiunian, on the other hand, had done a lot of research during this period, so he took out a document and handed a list to everyone, saying, "These are all the things our family has prepared.
The house and the car are both betrothal gifts, with my and Zhizhi’s names written on them, and there’s also a betrothal gift…”
At the Lin family, only Lin's father and mother, Lin Nanye, as well as the uncle and his wife and the matchmaker were present. They were all literate, so they could understand everything above.
The house was in the capital, bought in full, as was the car, the betrothal gift was 520,000, and there were also gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold bracelets, silver bracelets and necklaces. As for the wild geese and other gifts given in ancient times, they are now protected animals and cannot be given as gifts, so he asked Uncle Lin about the local customs and added a pair of hams, a pair of geese, and a pair of fish.
As for cloth, few people know how to make clothes nowadays, so I just prepared ten new sets of clothes.
There are also food and drinks.
All in all, it involves all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and when you add up all the bits and pieces, it adds up to a lot.
After seeing this, the Lin family was quite satisfied.
After all, now that they have a house and a car, Lin Nanzhi doesn't need to go and pay the mortgage. It took a lot of thought to prepare the betrothal gifts and so many betrothal gifts.
Seeing that the Lin family was satisfied, Wen Jiunian also breathed a sigh of relief.
The betrothal gifts there vary from person to person. His original intention was to give more, but there is a rule in Wumeng that the last one to get married cannot give more than the first one.
At that time, Yu Ze offered a betrothal gift of 520,000 yuan, so he could only give 52, or a little less, otherwise people in the village would more or less say something bad about Lin Nanxuan and Lin Nanzhi, which would easily ruin the relationship between the sisters.
Of course, this is not Yu Ze's fault. After all, he was in the start-up period at that time and had little money. After buying a house and a car, he didn't have much left, so he gave a betrothal gift of 520,000 yuan.
In fact, this price is high in many places, especially in Wumeng, where the general betrothal gifts are tens of thousands, which is quite eye-catching.
After reading this, Lin's father became a little nervous.
Because he didn't know much about Chinese weddings, he asked Lin Nanzhi for her opinion and she also prepared a list. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for him to have nothing prepared when the Wen family attached so much importance to it.
After coughing, he said, "Very good, let's press this."
"This is the dowry our family has prepared. Please take a look at it, my dear relatives." He also took out a list.
The above is similar to what Wen Jiunian mentioned.
They didn't prepare a house, but they gave her a car as a dowry, and the dowry was 300,000 yuan, which was all given to Lin Nanzhi, including the betrothal gift. They also prepared everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
There are beds, closets, desks, quilts, clothes, and a lot of things prepared at a glance.
These are also taken into consideration more for children.
Because no matter they have two daughters or two sons, they plan to prepare these things when they get married. All these things are paid for by both of them in half, and the children will not spend a penny. They can prepare so many things without reservation.
The Wen family had no complaints. After all, what the Lin family prepared was really comprehensive, and all in all, no less than what they had prepared.
"Then it's settled. Let's discuss the wedding."
The date has been chosen, it is August 19th, the eighth month of the lunar calendar, just in time for us to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home.
Father Wen: "The wedding will be held in the capital. The address has been chosen, and a wedding company has been hired to arrange the event. There is also a specialist to guide the process. Everything has been prepared for the day of the wedding. It all depends on whether you have any requirements."
Mother Lin: "We don't have any requirements here. We have also found a professional to give us guidance. The wedding will be held at Zhizhi's residence, and the banquet will be held at the guest house."
Father Lin asked again: "If it's a wedding, will it be like on TV or will we take a car?"
"Uncle, I asked someone to make it custom-made." Wen Jiunian replied appropriately: "But the distance is too far, so we plan to take a bus here, go to the hotel after arriving in the imperial capital, and then take a sedan chair to go there in the afternoon."
"That's fine."
Lin Nanzhi: "Have you prepared clothes or anything?"
"We don't have this one. We plan to order it after the crew finishes filming."
"I have a friend who does this. When the time comes, you can send me the team members for the wedding reception and I will ask her to make the order."
"good."
After discussing for a few hours, they finally settled everything. Wen Jiunian's break was over, so he went straight to the set to film. Wen's parents also went back to the capital to prepare for the wedding. As for Lin Nanzhi... She could be lazy when Lin Nanxuan got married, but she couldn't avoid it this time.
Father Lin and Lin Nanye were busy helping her plan the relatives she needed to invite, while Mother Lin and Aunt Lin went shopping with her in the market.
Although it is still early, because it is a Chinese wedding, many things may not be available for purchase and need to be custom-made. Therefore, she has no time to write novels or do other things recently, and is busy with wedding matters.
From preparing the wedding dowry to preparing the invitations and designing the dresses, I asked friends to make them custom-made.
After being busy for two months, I finally have some free time. I have asked people to make custom-made items for me. I don’t need to buy things now that can be purchased. It would be best to buy them after some time. I mainly buy some dowry items here and there.
I've also received her invitation and the box of wedding candies.
The wedding candy box is red, and there are two types. One is a little bigger, made of cloth in the form of a small shoulder bag, but the strap is not long. It is embroidered with the word "囍" and some beautiful flowers, and hung with purple tassels, which is very beautiful.
There is also another type that is in a paper box, which is square and a bit like a red envelope, with patterns and the word "囍" painted on it with golden ink, and beads and red tassels at the opening.
The wedding invitations were packaged with better materials, a frosted gold-plated cover in vermilion color. A big "囍" character was written on the cover, with dragon and phoenix patterns next to it and green tassels hanging on it.
When it was opened from the middle, there was an invitation card with an apricot blossom pattern on it.
Although it was custom-made, there were no words typed on it. Except for an official seal at the end, the rest of the space was blank.
Lin Nanzhi had learned calligraphy, so he asked his parents to write the name list and then he wrote the invitations one by one with a brush.
Write "Submitted to XXX for your approval" at the beginning
Start a new line and write "We would like to arrange the wedding ceremony for our daughter, Lin Nanzhi, on August 19 of the lunar calendar. We sincerely invite XX to bring his family to attend."
Finally, write the name of the person who is inviting you, Mr. or Mrs. Lin.
As for her friends, they should be written similarly, just write her name at the end.
As for the address, invitations are not popular nowadays, and people usually invite their children by phone, so the parents will make it clear when the time comes.
