The wedding process on the Han family's side has almost progressed. Next, everyone moved to the canteen for the wedding ceremony and other events.
There are guest houses, canteens, cultural palaces, clubs and other related institutions run by the venue.
The cafeteria is next to the guest house. It is quite large and can accommodate quite a few tables.
At this time, the canteen was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a temporary ceremony stage was also set up.
On the wall of the ceremony table, there was a pink quilt hanging with a big red word "Happy" pinned on it, and a big red flower on it.
There were many tables, chairs and other things placed nearby. Lin Qiyue quickly greeted Guan Enxue and others, as well as the relatives and friends of the man and woman, and sat down on the left and right.
For the other guests, those from my mother’s family sat together and those from my husband’s family sat together.
At 10:58 a.m., the ceremony officially began.
Originally, I didn't plan to make it grand, so I just thought of coming here, where the officiant and witnesses would say a few words, the bride and groom would salute, and then the banquet would begin.
As a result, when the county leaders came, the original procedure was too simple.
Han Liwei has made such a great contribution, received such a high honor, and even the county leaders came to attend the wedding, so what if the wedding is too simple?
Therefore, the director of the participating cultural troupe was invited to temporarily act as the wedding master of ceremonies.
The actors from the art troupe also rehearsed the show temporarily to make today's wedding ceremony exciting and lively.
So, the song and dance of the cultural troupe started, and then the emcee came on the stage to say the opening remarks, and then invited the bride and groom to come out, and the emcee introduced the newlyweds to all the guests.
Many links can be interspersed here, such as asking the bride and groom to talk about the process of how they met and fell in love.
The emcee will also make jokes in the middle and say some funny words to liven up the atmosphere of the scene.
Not to mention, this man is indeed very talented. He is full of witty words and witty remarks. He shakes his baggage one after another and makes all the guests who come to congratulate him laugh.
Then, the officiant and witnesses came on stage to speak one after another. The witnesses also took the marriage certificates of the two people and read them out to prove that the two were legally married.
Then, representatives of relatives and friends of both parties will also come to the stage to speak, saying some blessings and expectations for the couple.
After the representatives of relatives and friends from both sides have spoken, the couple will thank both parents for their upbringing.
Next, the newlyweds exchange tokens and the groom takes the wedding vows.
These were not included in the original process. Fortunately, Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin actually bought gifts for each other, which happened to be a pair of watches, which came in handy.
As for the wedding vows, Han Liwei was not shy either.
In front of everyone, he promised Xu Shiqin that he would love her for the rest of his life and would never betray her.
There was warm applause at the scene, and the newlyweds embraced each other happily amidst the applause of the guests.
Finally, another item was added, handing over a glass of wine, which was also a procedure that had never been done before.
The glass was ordered from the kitchen, and the wine was the wine Lin Qiyue sent back to his house to get.
A piece of red paper was placed on the tray, two glasses were placed on top, wine was poured into the glasses, and one of Han Liwei's little cousins brought it over.
There weren't so many programs in these days, and naturally no one was using any crooked ideas. After a few years, I wouldn't dare to say what's inside when I drink a glass of wine.
Some people are naughty and put mustard, soy sauce, chili oil and other things in the groom's glass of wine just to play tricks on the groom.
Han Liwei has caught up with the good times. No one noticed this and no one harmed him. This is serious wine.
The couple linked their arms together, lowered their heads and each took a sip of wine.
Xu Shiqin had never drunk wine before. Even though it was just wine, he still found the taste quite strong and blushed on his face.
Han Liwei was fine, this little wine was just drizzle to him.
After a glass of wine, the wedding ceremony was completed, and no one knew who was outside, setting off two more firecrackers and setting them off with a bang.
"I now declare that the wedding ceremony of Comrade Han Liwei and Comrade Xu Shiqin is over.
Thank you for coming to the wedding. In order to express our gratitude, the Han family specially invited comrades from the cultural troupe to give a wonderful performance.
At the same time, the Han family and the Xu family also prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain the guests.
Everyone, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I wish you all a happy New Year in advance. I wish you good health, smooth work and everything goes well in the new year."
The emcee was so sarcastic that he even came out to crack some food during the New Year, making everyone in the room burst into laughter.
The emcee left and the actors from the cultural troupe came on.
Errenzhuan, Huangmei Opera, Ping Opera, cross talk, allegro writing, and dance, everyone tried their best.
Even though it was just a temporary performance, the performance was very exciting.
The guests and staff attending the show were better off, after all, they had seen the performance.
Everyone in the Xu family was dumbfounded. Who has ever seen a performance at a wedding?
Now, while watching the show, I even forgot about being hungry.
After the performance of the art troupe was over, someone grabbed Han Liwei and asked him to sing a song.
After Han Liwei finished singing, the kitchen finally started to stir, and the wives of the helpers came out carrying dishes.
The first must be cold cuts, jelly skin, soft fried meat, cabbage hearts, vermicelli and fungus cold dishes.
In the middle are fish, chicken with stewed mushrooms, pork belly, crispy white meat, stir-fried pork, sauerkraut blood sausage, stir-fried mutton, and braised venison.
The last dish must be Sixi Meatballs.
As soon as Sixi Meatballs came on the scene, everyone knew there would be no food left.
Some people also say that when the Sixi Meatballs are served, it means you have finished eating and gone away, so this dish must be served last.
For today's banquet, the Han family bought two big fat pigs from elsewhere and killed them yesterday morning. They were busy cooking and frying them in the cafeteria all day long.
I also bought a lot of other chickens, fish, meat, and eggs.
I originally thought that such a dish would be tough enough, but I didn’t expect that Guan Enxue and the others would come.
Fortunately, Xu Shiyan had venison and mutton delivered, and the chef quickly added two more convenient dishes.
Among the twelve dishes, except for the cold dish, which is considered a rough dish, the others can be regarded as hard dishes in this day and age.
This banquet is already of a very high standard. No matter who is called here, they can't fault it.
In addition to these twelve dishes, the guests from my mother's family will also be served two more desserts: shredded sweet potatoes and honey-braised three delicacies.
This is called the natal family appetizer, which is specially prepared by the master chef for the natal family.
Of course, the mother's family also has to arrange for someone to go to the kitchen to reward the master, at least dozens of dollars for the master's hard work.
In fact, these are all rules that have only emerged in the past two years. In the past few years, life was so bad that I didn't even have enough to eat. How can I say this?
Xu Shiyan had to go over for this matter, "Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Thanks to Master Zhang's good craftsmanship, today's banquet was really good."
Xu Shiyan went to the back kitchen and while talking, he gave two red envelopes to the master chef.
"Ahem, didn't Section Chief Xu's words go unnoticed? Then your sister is getting married, and she is marrying a fighting hero like Li Wei.
I, Lao Zhang, don’t have any other skills. I only know how to stir-fry, so I must do it well.”
