Love was a matter of two people.
Marriage was a matter of two families.
Since family was mentioned, the parents' suggestions were naturally important.
Therefore, even if Fang Lei was unwilling, she had to compromise in the end …
The wedding ceremony could be done in a pure Western style, but the reception of guests and the banquet afterwards must be done according to Chinese standards.
Among the four ancient civilizations, ancient Egypt, ancient India, and ancient Babylon had long been annihilated in the long river of history because of the invasion of foreign tribes.
As the only surviving one, Hua Xia not only had a long history of cultural inheritance, but also maintained the continuity of civilization after being invaded by foreign tribes and maintained the long-term vitality of the Chinese civilization.
The reason was that Hua Xia people had an indelible national spirit in their bones.
Over the years, with the continuous infiltration of Western culture, more and more young people began to like the Western festival, but did not care about traditional festivals such as Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.
There were two sides to everything in the world. It was not necessarily wrong, and it was not unilateral to blame others for worshipping foreign things.
Thanks to Fang Lei, Chen Xi and the little fellow also enjoyed the luxury suite on the cruise ship.
Although it was not as good as the five-star hotel they lived in in Emei, it had a different experience.
The little fellow was very excited. This was the first time she had been on a cruise ship and the first time she had attended someone's wedding. So, in the middle of the night, she finally fell asleep under the comfort of Chen Xi.
The next morning.
Because in Western culture, if the groom saw the wedding dress before the ceremony, it would be regarded as inauspicious, so Western weddings did not have the part of picking up the bride.
Therefore, Fang Lei and her fiancé, Wang Xiwu, had been living on the cruise ship since last night, quietly waiting for the wedding to begin.
Fang Lei's father was a college student in the 1980s. After graduation, he entered the state unit. Later, he caught up with the business boom in the 1990s, so he resolutely resigned from his position as a cadre of state-owned enterprises and came to Zhonghai alone to work hard. It took him decades to finally lay a large foundation.
Fang Lei's father was highly educated and cultivated. He could be said to be the model of a generation of scholarly businessmen, so he was very popular in the circle of rich people in Zhonghai.
Today was his only daughter's big day, so many rich and powerful people would come to support.
Early in the morning, countless luxury cars appeared at the dock.
Father Fang and Mother Fang both felt that the western style was not desirable, so no matter how much Fang Lei complained, they were not moved. Instead, they changed into brand new formal attire early in the morning and stood at the dock to personally welcome every guest.
When an ordinary family got married, they would usually arrange thirty to forty tables. Some families would arrange eighty to a hundred tables. However, for a wealthy family like the Fang family, who had a wide network of connections and friends all over the world, there would naturally be more guests.
Due to the limited number of seats on the top deck, not everyone could get an invitation of the highest standard and go to the top deck to watch the ceremony.
As for the guests who were unable to go to the top floor, they were arranged to stay on the lower deck and watch the live broadcast through the big screen.
Guests arrived at the cruise ship one after another at nine o 'clock in the morning. Fang Qiu's father welcomed every guest with a smile.
Suddenly, his assistant ran to his side and whispered to him, "Mr. Fang, the two Mr. Ning's from the Ocean Group are here …"
"Oh? Old Ning is here too? Wasn't he in poor health recently? "
Fang Qiu's father was a little surprised. He quickly looked in the direction his assistant was pointing and saw Ning Zhongguo in the crowd.
Therefore, he immediately walked out from behind the reception area and laughed. "Old Ning, what a rare guest! Let's have a few drinks later!"
As he spoke, he walked up to Ning Zhongguo and gave him a warm hug.
Some of the guests around did not know Ning Zhongguo, but after seeing Fang Qiu's father's action, they immediately paid attention and secretly observed Ning Zhongguo, wanting to remember him firmly in their hearts.
After the hug, Ning Zhongguo immediately said with a smile, "Old Fang, you're treating me as an outsider. Your precious daughter is getting married, so of course I have to come and support her."
"Hey, I heard that you were hospitalized some time ago, right? How are you? Are you feeling better? "
"I'm fine. I'm in good health now."
Fang Qiu's father and Ning Zhongguo exchanged a few polite words, then his eyes fell on Ning Qiutong. "Oh, Qiutong has become prettier again. When are you going to invite me to the wedding?"
In order not to steal the bride's limelight, Ning Qiutong specially chose a rather dignified and low-key black gown today.
Hearing this, Ning Qiutong smiled. Before she could say anything, Ning Zhongguo laughed and said, "It's still early, still early. My precious daughter is not as sensible as your daughter. She's eager to excel and looks down on all men in the world. I'm so worried. "
"Children and grandchildren have their own lives. As a father, you can't be too nosy …"
The three of them chatted for a while before Ning Zhongguo wheeled Fang Qiu's father back to the reception area.
After signing his name on the guest list, Ning Zhongguo laughed and said, "Old Fang, you have a lot of things to do today, so don't worry about us. We'll go up first. You can go greet the other guests. When you're done, we'll meet again."
"Okay, then I'll be rude."
Fang Qiu's father nodded, then waved his hand to call over his assistant. "Xiao Sun, bring President Ning up first."
The assistant nodded. Just as he was about to invite the father and daughter of the Ning family to board the ship, Fang Qiu's father stopped him and whispered in his ear, "First row."
The assistant nodded calmly. After boarding the ship, he led the father and daughter of the Ning family to the other side of the tunnel. They took the elevator directly to the top deck.
Chen Xi took advantage of the time to bring the little girl to the top deck.
At this time, many guests were already seated.
Melodious light music echoed above the deck. There were white flowers and exquisite decorations all around.
As time went by, the orange-red sun slowly rose from the east, gradually blooming with golden light. Amidst the sea breeze, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Chen Xi held the invitation. When he realized that there was no seat number on the invitation, he casually sat down in the last row of the VIP seats.
After sitting down, the little guy immediately began to move restlessly from left to right.
She was so excited!
Sister said that when the wedding was about to start, she could go backstage and change into a beautiful white gown!
Why didn't she let her change in advance?
In fact, it was because Lin Xuan was worried that she would dirty the gown, so she didn't give the gown to the little girl …
Lin Xuan was Fang Lei's main bridesmaid. As Wang Lu was already married, she was not a bridesmaid.
Chen Xi looked around. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in the crowd.
Li Xiuwen.
At this time, Li Xiuwen also noticed Chen Xi.
He seemed a little surprised to see Chen Xi here. However, out of courtesy, he took the initiative to nod at Chen Xi.
Seeing this, Chen Xi nodded back at him.
However, at this time, Li Xiuwen suddenly froze.
Because he remembered something!
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Li Xiuwen immediately walked toward Chen Xi.
"Mr Chen, how are you …"
