Chapter 118 Post-Wedding Extra: Garden Party (Part 4)
Light and romantic instrumental music begins to play.
The ceremony begins.
Jiang Wan and the others stopped talking and turned to look at the end of the passageway in the viewing area.
Jiang Shengming changed into a suit, a black swallowtail coat with a dark pattern, which made him look tall and neat.
After the emcee's opening remarks, Sun Qianyu, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, appeared on the other side of the aisle.
She took her father's hand, lifted the hem of her fluffy wedding dress, and walked step by step toward Jiang Shengming.
Behind it was a long, trailing train that shimmered in the setting sun.
Beneath the thin embroidered veil, a smile that could not be hidden could not be concealed; the shallow dimples on Sun Qianyu's lips shone brightly in the soft sunlight.
Although Jiang Wan accompanied Sun Qianyu to have this wedding dress custom-made, and had seen her try on dresses many times before, Jiang Wan still couldn't help but marvel when she saw her walking towards the sunset today.
It is said that every bride is most beautiful on her wedding day, and Jiang Wan wholeheartedly agrees at this moment.
When she married Zhou Chong, all the guests and friends praised her for being beautiful, but she attributed these compliments to politeness and the makeup artist's efforts.
Now, watching Sun Qianyu slowly walk towards Jiang Shengming, she suddenly realized that no matter how superb the makeup skills were, they couldn't create the smile in the corners of the eyes and brows.
Sun Qianyu looks especially beautiful today because she married for love.
Jiang Shengming took Sun Qianyu's hand from his father-in-law, handed her the bouquet, and then led her through the crowd in the viewing area to the main ceremony area at the end of the road.
The emcee then said, "Please, each of our guests, untie the balloons tied to the back of your chairs."
Jiang Wan turned around, untied the balloons from her chair, and exchanged a puzzled look with the person next to her.
Everyone held up white balloons, waiting for the emcee's next instructions.
"When our newlyweds come to you, please let go of their hands and release the balloons in your hands, okay?"
As soon as the driver finished speaking, Sun Qianyu and Jiang Shengming passed by the last row of guest seats.
Several white balloons slowly rose into the air.
The two continued walking forward, and several more balloons rose into the air.
Jiang Wan and the others sat in the first two rows. When Sun Qianyu and Jiang Shengming passed by them, a sea of pure white balloons rose behind them.
Arranged in a staggered and orderly fashion, floating and drifting.
Jiang Wan turned to the side, smiling as she looked at Sun Qianyu, who was waving at her, and gently loosened the string on the balloon in her hand.
Sun Qianyu winked at her, and together with Jiang Shengming, they stepped onto the ceremony stage.
The two turned around in front of the flower-covered curtains, where a large number of pure white balloons fluttered and floated into the sky.
It's as if it carries everyone's blessings, delivering their pure love to the angels.
Jiang Wan looked up at the balloons floating in the air, and held Zhou Chong's hand beside her. "How romantic! It makes me want to get married again."
Zhou Chong grasped her hand in return, turned to her, and asked in a cryptic tone, "Do you want to get married again?"
Jiang Wan was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "No, what I meant was... I want to have such a romantic ceremony with you again."
"Oh, I see." Zhou Chong nodded knowingly. "My wife wasn't satisfied with our wedding back then."
"Well... not really." Jiang Wan lowered her eyes, realizing that she was making more and more mistakes.
Her wedding to Zhou Chong back then could only be described as grand.
From the wedding procession to the main ceremony and the banquet, every step was so perfect that no one could find fault with it.
Castles and chapels, helicopters delivering flowers, million-dollar jewelry and gowns, and even the styling and photography team are comparable to those of celebrity weddings.
What she was dissatisfied with was her past self.
At the time, I was only trying to appease my family and wasting all the effort he had put into acting and putting on a show with Zhou Chong, who had secretly loved me for many years.
In contrast, Sun Qianyu and Jiang Shengming's wedding today was not large in scale, and there were not many guests. Most of the guests were close family and friends, and it was a warm and romantic occasion.
Jiang Wan found it hard to describe her feelings; she felt a little envious, a little regretful, but of course, she was mostly filled with blessings and heartfelt joy.
Time has already reversed course for her and Zhou Chong once, and in a sense, it has led to today's wedding.
She can't expect everything to go perfectly; a little imperfection in a perfect life is the normal state of happiness.
She and Zhou Chong are doing just fine as they are now.
As Jiang Wan was deep in thought, Zhou Chong's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "How about I give you another wedding ceremony next year on our wedding anniversary?"
She looked up, and Zhou Chong held her hand, gently stroking it in his palm, his eyes crinkling as he looked at her.
"Okay." Jiang Wan's eyes welled up slightly, and she pursed her lips. "But don't make it too extravagant. Just invite your closest family and friends to celebrate together."
Zhou Chong nodded slightly, "Mm."
The sea of white balloons in the sky drifted further and further away until they became a cluster of small white dots and flew out of sight.
The ceremony on stage proceeded to the part where the newlyweds exchanged vows.
"Mr. Jiang Shengming, from this day forward, you will become Miss Sun Qianyu's husband. Whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness, for the rest of your life, you will love her, cherish her, and be faithful to her. Do you agree?"
Jiang Shengming nodded solemnly, "I'm willing."
"Miss Sun Qianyu, are you willing to become Mr. Jiang Shengming's wife, to love him, respect him, accept him, and accompany him in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, and to remain faithful to him forever?"
Sun Qianyu smiled and said, "I do."
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
After the vows were exchanged, rings were exchanged.
Rose petals fluttered down, and cheers erupted from the audience.
Amidst this romantic shower of roses, Jiang Wan took a small card out of her pocket, turned around, and handed it to Zhou Chong.
"Zhou Chong, is the unlimited redemption card you gave me back then still valid?"
Zhou Chong lowered his gaze to the card with its yellowed edges and chuckled, "Of course, it's valid indefinitely."
"Then I'd like to use my redemption rights now."
Jiang Wan turned the card over to the back.
The original line of text has been crossed out, and below it, there is a new line of text.
Jiang Wan demanded that Zhou Chong love her for the rest of his life and never be separated from her.
Zhou Chong smiled slightly, took the card from Jiang Wan's hand, and placed it carefully in his palm. "I will do it."
Loving you for a lifetime has never been difficult for me.
