Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1314 Wedding (Part 1)

  Nowadays, young people in China hold weddings, and many of them are based on the process of both Chinese and Western weddings. For example, the groom takes the best man to the bride’s house to pick up the bride, and sends red envelopes to enter the door to find shoes. This is the procedure of a Chinese wedding, while the bride and groom in a formal wedding dress swears in front of everyone, which is a western wedding procedure. What's more, the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony for parents to offer tea, one worship of heaven and earth and two worships of Gaotang couples, waiting and swearing together, it is a more mixed wedding of East and West.

  Neither Xiao Yao nor Sun Tingting like this mixed wedding process. Since the wedding was held in Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting decided to save the traditional Chinese wedding steps such as picking up the bride, and have a purely Western-style wedding.

  This wedding, Xiao Yao did not invite a wedding planning company. The planning and preparations for the pre-wedding period were discussed by the two and the studio’s planning department, and the specific preparations were done by the employees of their studio.

  Xiao Yao's career or business scope spans multiple industries such as film, television and music. He can be regarded as a big figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. He established a personal studio a few years ago. However, although Xiao Yao's career has developed well, his reputation is big enough, and his business types are numerous, the workload of this studio is relatively small.

  In terms of music, Xiao Yao himself is a creator. He writes songs for others, so he does not need the studio to help him invite songs to find music works. Just to write songs for others, Xiao Yao rarely accepts invitations from other companies. For some reasons, he writes songs specifically for a certain singer, and most of them are temporary decisions made by his head, so the studio even helped him. No need to find a co-operator.

  In terms of film and television, Xiao Yao already has multiple roles such as editor, director, producer, and producer, and has his own film and television company. The film and television projects he has participated in in the past few years are all self-created projects, and there is no need for the studio to help him find projects and roles. Xiao Yao made a product, and the producer was a film and television company, not his own studio. The project attracted investment and sponsorship, and the establishment of the crew to find cast and crew. It was all about the film and television company’s producers and producers, not Xiao The thing about Haruka Studio.

  In terms of variety shows, Xiao Yao’s sense of variety shows is very good, coupled with his own fame, basically as long as he appears, he is in charge of ratings. In the world of variety shows, he is a popular guest, and is a guest rushing for all shows. However, Xiao Yao didn't have much ambition and pursuit in variety shows. Up to now, he doesn't even have one of his own signature variety shows, nor does he intend to have it. He appeared on variety shows first for fun and second for promotion of film and television works. Basically, he was only a flying guest, so it was very easy to get in touch.

In addition, he himself does not accept advertising endorsements, he has never held large-scale concerts, and the studio does not sign other artists. So, put together, Xiao Yao, a studio with a big-name star, has a lot of work done by employees. There are far fewer studios for celebrities than his second- and third-tier stars.

  This time Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting had a wedding, the people in the studio took the initiative to ask Ying to undertake all the related matters, so there was no need for Xiao Yao to find a wedding planning company. Only because the wedding was held in Germany and it was a purely Western-style wedding, I discussed with Xiao Yao to invite a senior European independent wedding planner as a consultant to provide some necessary guidance.

  The wedding of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting was held in Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany. Neuschwanstein Castle is now a famous tourist attraction in Germany. Although it is a castle, it cannot be lived in. At least tourists cannot live in it. Xiao Yao only got a part of the venue as a wedding venue through his relationship, so naturally he couldn't live in it. Therefore, the base camp of everyone involved in the wedding was in Fussen, the nearest town to Neuschwanstein Castle.

  After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting arrived in Fussen, Germany, they met with the studio staff preparing for the wedding, and found that all the preparations for the wedding were almost done. The only thing they need to do is to adjust their physical state and mentality and wait for the wedding day to arrive.

  Füssen itself is also a place full of romance. It is located at the foot of the Alps, surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the natural scenery is very beautiful. In the city, there are alleys and buildings left over from the Middle Ages, and gorgeous Baroque churches abound. The post-Gothic Hohe Palace, the Baroque St. Manger Abbey, and the idyllic square are all refreshing.

  Since they didn’t need to worry about the preparations for the wedding, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting happily spent two days in Fussen, continuing their honeymoon before the wedding.

  However, the "honeymoon" between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting lasted only two days in Fussen. Two days after they arrived in Fussen, their relatives, brothers and sisters who were the best man and bridesmaid, and guests invited to the wedding began to arrive in Fussen.

  The people from Xiaoyao's studio have booked a hotel in Fussen. The board and lodging of all the guests have been arranged long ago, and there is also a special person responsible for the reception arrangement. In fact, it is not necessary for Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting to do anything. But they are here to attend the wedding. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are the parties, and they are already here. They still have to come forward to receive them. It is not appropriate to leave these people alone and not even see each other.

Although several media’s requests for live wedding coverage were rejected, and the location and date of the wedding were not disclosed on social media, with the arrival of the guests, Xiao Yao still found it outside the hotel where he was staying and even in the city of Fussen. The figure of a Chinese journalist.

  In this regard, Xiao Yao didn't care too much. Although Xiao Yao told the wedding that he would not invite media reporters when he posted his invitation, he also told the guests that he hoped to keep a low profile as much as possible, but he did not ask for absolute confidentiality. Even if those guests do not break the news to the media, they will inevitably be found out by deliberate gossip entertainment reporters. After all, a large part of the guests are also celebrities. Agents and assistants need to know the itinerary of the celebrities, and it is a very common way for Yuji to inquire about the news from the celebrity assistants.

  On the day of great rejoicing, Xiao Yao was also very friendly to these reporters. Xiao Yao would still smile and wave to say hello when he discovered that a reporter was taking secret photos, but when some reporters had the courage to come up to Xiao Yao after seeing Xiao Yao’s performance, Xiao Yao still asked him to interview and report on the wedding. Smiling and politely refused.

  Most of the guests attending the wedding were Chinese, and some Europeans and Americans, but everyone came to Germany to go abroad. Because of going abroad, of course everyone will not wait until the day of the wedding to leave. They always come early, but most of these guests are celebrities, and most of the schedules are tight, and it is impossible to get too early. The guests arrived one after another, which also shows that the wedding day is approaching.

  Because of having a senior Western wedding planner as a consultant, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s Western-style wedding is still very authentic. Not only are the various procedures in the wedding completely in accordance with the Western wedding, but also the old, new, borrowed, and blue customary things in Western weddings are prepared, including the bridal shower before the wedding, bachelor parties and rehearsal dinners. There are also arrangements.

  Groomsmen and bridesmaids are basically the group of people who have the best relationship with the bride and groom. Xiao Yao's best man group is Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan, and Zhou Zhihao. Sun Tingting's bridesmaids are Zhu Zitong, Nina Aiguli and Lin Qisan's sister Lin Xiaoyi. They were also the first group of all guests to arrive in Fussen. They came with their parents.

  A large part of the reason why they arrived the earliest is because they came for bridal showers and farewell bachelor parties. Whether it is a previous life or this world, there are many grooms in the film and television works because they had too much fun at the farewell bachelor party the previous night and delayed the next day's wedding. Xiao Yao didn't want the tragedy in the film and television works to appear on him, so he arranged these two events two days before the wedding. The day before the wedding was a relatively unpleasant and unlikely rehearsal dinner.

  Although the time of farewell bachelor party and bridal shower is set by Xiao Yao, according to tradition, the specific content of these two events is not decided by Sina and the bride, but arranged by other people participating in the event. Both Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting have already arrived in Germany. Naturally, it is impossible to fly back to China to attend the party and then fly to Germany. The venue for these two events can only be near the wedding ceremony. Zhao Rui and others have never been to Fussen. To arrange a farewell bachelor party, it takes time to get acquainted with the environment. Of course, you need to come early.

There are many tricks that can be held at the farewell bachelor party, but Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao all grew up with Sun Tingting, and they all have the mentality of their mothers. In addition, they are not familiar with their lives in Fussen, so neither Spend money to invite some messy people to the party and make some messy shows. The main content is that everyone has a drink together.

  The farewell bachelor party was organized by the best man Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, but it was not just the groom and the best man who attended the party. Xu Fei, Chen Chen and other single men of similar age also participated. Xiao Yao is the bridegroom, and of course the other people at the party are the object of drinking. This night, Xiao Yao was drunk and fell on the ground without any suspense. But fortunately, Xiao Yao is young and in good health, and his alcohol metabolism is also very good. The discomfort of a hangover the next day is not too strong, and it does not affect the rehearsal dinner in the afternoon and evening.

  Farewell to bachelor parties and rehearsal dinners, the wedding day has arrived.

  Western weddings usually take place in the afternoon. After lunch, everyone set off from Fussen to Neuschwanstein Castle.

Although Xiao Yao did not have any commercial endorsements, and the wedding did not sell live broadcast rights to the media and invited media reporters to participate, the media coverage of their wedding must be indispensable, and there were a large number of celebrities among the guests, and they also had considerable publicity. Effect, so this wedding still got some sponsorship. Of course, these sponsorships do not involve money, they are all in-kind sponsorships for items needed for the wedding. Just spend less money and will never make money from weddings.

  One of the biggest sponsorships comes from BMW. Since Xiao Yao and BMW have established a very good relationship through the advertising film series, BMW’s Martin Grotz waved his hand and sent 36 cars to Xiao Yao as wedding cars, which can be regarded as BMW. And the wedding gift he gave to Xiao Yao.

  Among the 36 vehicles, four are commercial vehicles for wedding staff. They have already set off for Neuschwanstein Castle in the morning. Among the remaining 32 cars, the two cars for the groomsman and the bride and bridesmaids are the latest high-end cars launched by BMW this year. The other 30 cars used to carry guests are of the same model and color. vehicle. Such an all-BMW team drove to Neuschwanstein Castle mightily, and it was shocking to see, and the road also attracted the attention of many tourists visiting Neuschwanstein Castle.

  After arriving at Neuschwanstein Castle, the guests went to the wedding venue, the bride and groom, best man, bridesmaids, and parents of the bride and groom went to their dressing rooms to change clothes and make-up, and make the final preparations.

  The tradition of Western-style weddings is generally held in the afternoon, and does not pay attention to specific auspicious times. When the bride and groom are ready, the wedding will officially begin.

  Although Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting held a very traditional Western-style wedding, the process is still very familiar to everyone.

  The host enters the venue and announces the start of the wedding ceremony. The groom is on the stage, the best man and the bridesmaids are seated facing the guests on the left and right sides of the stage, the flower girl is holding a flower basket and sprinkling petals in the front, the bride holding the father’s arm, the bride’s father handing the bride’s hand to the groom’s hand, the bride and groom in front of the priest Answer the question and say "I do," which means swearing an oath to wear each other's wedding rings, the groom hugs and kisses the bride, the priest announces that the two are married and so on.

Unlike many East-West weddings in China, Sun Tingting is a believer, so the person who presided over the oath is a real priest, and then there is no link where the bride and groom tells the history of love, and there is no link where the bride and groom’s family members give a speech. Even the part of the bride throwing the bouquet was also put in the dinner party later.

  After the wedding ceremony, the next step is to take pictures. Xiao Yao specially invited Chen Xuan, a big-name photographer, to be the wedding photographer. Naturally, there are no restrictions on taking pictures. In addition to the traditional group photos that must be taken, all the guests can take photos with the bride and groom if they wish. Even some people come together, and the combination of the photo subjects can be freely displayed. At this time, it is also a free time period for guests between the wedding ceremony and the dinner.

  Neuschwanstein Castle was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as his residence. Since it is a palace, of course there are places with various uses and functions. In addition to various rooms such as bedrooms, study rooms, and living rooms, the castle also has a large banquet hall. The wedding ceremony of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting was held on the grass in the outdoor courtyard of the castle, and the wedding dinner was held in the banquet hall of the castle.

  After the wedding ceremony, guests do not need to leave Neuschwanstein Castle. After taking photos, they can take a free tour in Neuschwanstein Castle. In the evening, they will go directly to the banquet hall to attend the dinner.
