The wedding was a combination of Chinese and Western, with a garden environment. Sophie's family liked Chinese culture, and Li Du was a Chinese.
However, on a lawn in the garden, Hans built a simple church and hired a priest to officiate the wedding.
In other words, there were two weddings. First, they went to receive the blessing of the priest, and then there was piano accompaniment. Cao Yulin flew to Seagull Island with Li Du's parents, and he played the piano.
Then Sophie changed into a Xiuhe dress and married Li Du, which was a good way to explain to both families.
After the whole process, the two newlyweds had a hard time.
Sophie was not mentally prepared. Fortunately, she had been excited, so she did not feel very tired.
After the wedding, it was time for the wedding banquet. Li Du met a good chef in Seattle. He invited Uncle Hua to Seagull Island, and he was the one who cooked the meal.
Li Du had also prepared the ring for the exchange on his own, and his preparation was ingenious.
The ring he gave Sophie was a pigeon's egg. He did not sell the largest diamond he had ever found in a diamond mine, but made it into a ring.
The ring Sophie gave him was prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Martin. The ring was made of opal, a gemstone that Sophie had found herself. She gave it to her parents and polished it into a wedding ring.
Although Sophie did not participate in the wedding, she did not stay out of it.
When they were married, Mr. and Mrs. Martin wore Tang suits. Both of them were teachers and had a scholarly air, so although they were blonde and blue-eyed, the Tang suits matched them well.
When it was time to eat, Li Du asked them to change their clothes. Mr. Martin touched the skullcap on his head and smiled. "I don't think this is bad. Li, what do I look like now?"
Li Du said, "A landlord."
Mr. Martin was a history teacher, so he naturally understood the status of a landlord in ancient China. He burst out laughing and said, "No, I'm not a landlord. You are. You are rich."
Li Du was a rich man. He had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the wedding. Of course, the money was mainly spent on the construction of Seagull Island, but the island was also built for the wedding.
Mrs. Martin asked, "Li, do you have any plans for your marriage? Where are you going for your honeymoon? "
Li Du shook his head. "I haven't planned that yet. Let's listen to Sophie. I've only planned this wedding."
"What an amazing wedding." Old Martin whistled and acted as lively as a young man. "As Sophie's father, I never thought her wedding would be like this!"
"This is one of a kind." Mrs. Martin also recognized Li Du's contribution.
The main thing was that Li Du's wedding gift to Sophie was unique. This jade statue could be sent to the World Museum of Marriage.
There were not many people who came to the wedding. There were only about ten tables. Li Du's relatives from China had come, and they were all very close to him. In addition, he would hold a banquet to thank them when he got back.
Sophie's relatives also came to the table. The others were Li Du and Sophie's friends and classmates.
After the wedding, Sophie was taken away by her classmates and friends. Li Du, Mr. and Mrs. Martin had discussed and drawn up the list.
Some of Li Du's classmates also came over. Su Nan, who was the closest to him, had been working for him. He was one of the supervisors in the construction of Seagull Island, so naturally, he had to be invited.
In addition, the former class monitor, Li Zhihai, familiar friends Song Kaixuan, Yang Jinlong, and so on, high school and college classmates came to the table.
Only then did they know how strong Li Du's financial resources were. Unconsciously, the difference in status between them became apparent. Even if their relationship did not involve money and interests, this sense of status was still not to be ignored.
Li Du greeted his classmates first, and then went to find Steve and the others. After all, these were the distinguished guests, and he needed to treat them well.
His business friends were the main force. When Li Du arrived, the group of people raised their glasses. Tina smiled and said, "I heard that according to the rules of your hometown, the groom has to toast the guests one by one, right?"
Li Du said, "Believe me, Tina, when the time comes, it will be you who can't stand it. I don't want to brag, but my tolerance for alcohol is really scary."
Hans nodded and said, "I can testify to that. Ladies and gentlemen, don't bet with Li Du, and don't drink with him. These are the two principles I've figured out after getting along with him."
Tina smiled and said, "I don't believe it!"
Luo Qun also slammed the table and said, "How many of us can't beat him? Come on, Old Li, starting with me, I'll get you drunk! "
Li Du laughed and then slammed the table and said, "Come on then!"
In fact, his tolerance for alcohol came from the little bug. It was only when he exhausted his energy that the alcohol entered his stomach and was broken down in the form of energy, so that he would not get drunk.
If he did not use the little bug to exhaust his energy, then his tolerance for alcohol was not very different from before. At most, it was just a little better.
Li Du did not use the little bug today, so he was still full of energy. His tolerance for alcohol was also very average.
Luo Qun's tolerance for alcohol was not bad. She waved her hand for three bottles of white wine and placed them in front of her. With another wave of her hand, all three glasses in front of her were filled.
Then, she looked at Li Du provocatively and said, "Groom, I wish you and the bride a happy wedding. Cheers!"
Li Du raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"
"I wish you and the bride a long life together, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"I wish you and the bride a healthy baby soon, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The people next to them watched as glass after glass of white wine went into their mouths, and their eyelids twitched in fear.
Cole reached out to stop the two of them and said, "Forget it, why drink so much at a wedding?"
Luo Qun pushed his arm away and smiled stubbornly. "This is our custom, drink to your heart's content! Come, groom, I wish you and the bride a happy marriage. Cheers! "
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, who were eating at the table in front of them, saw this scene. The old man smacked his lips and said, "Why do I feel that something is not right?"
Mrs. Li said, "This girl is really heroic. What is going on between her and our son?"
"They used to live together," Lu Guan said enthusiastically. "Li used to live with her …"
The two of them did not hear the rest of the sentence. Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Sigh, what a sin."
Mr. Li was a little envious. "Our son is quite popular with women in America. Look at the girl behind him, she is even more beautiful. She keeps raising her glass and looking at our son. Is there a story too?"
Tina smiled as she watched Li Du drink glass after glass of white wine. Luo Qun drank a bottle of white wine in a row. She stepped forward to stop her and said, "Come, let me continue. You take a break first."
They drank too quickly and the alcohol had not started to take effect. Luo Qun, who was still rational, quietly stepped aside.
Li Du and Tina started drinking again, still drinking glass after glass of strong wine. When Luo Qun had drunk half a bottle, the alcohol burst out like an explosion. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. He tilted his head and said, "Wah!"
The wine splashed and he was drunk!
