When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 584: The Grand Wedding
At eight in the morning, the auspicious hour had arrived.
"The matchmaker ties the red thread, bringing fortune to the lovers, may they respect each other in marriage, and may their happiness be as lasting as water flows."
As the emcee’s smooth and magnetic voice resonated—
"Honorable emcee, first extend greetings to all the guests who made time to attend despite their busy schedules."
A wedding ceremony commenced...
Under the bright red main stage, on both sides of the red carpet, guests filled the seats.
"Looking at our vast China, with a history of five thousand years, possessing three hundred etiquettes and three thousand dignities, capable of stabilizing the nation above and welcoming fortune below, in a new marriage, hosting a banquet for guests, congratulating the united branches, and celebrating a century of prosperity..."
"Let’s welcome the groom, Dustin Shepherd, to give a speech."
A thunderous applause erupted from the guests below!
Only Old Master Lancaster, Eliza Hayes, and Nanny Warren looked at each other in shock, stunned for a few seconds.
"Dustin is getting married??"
But they soon joined in the clapping as well.
The colleagues from the design department were also utterly bewildered!
What? Assistant Shepherd is getting married??
But on second thought, no one had ever told them it was President Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster getting married!
Everything was just speculation.
So, everyone started applauding, regardless of who was getting married, they were colleagues, it meant a paid leave, it was a joyful occasion.
The applause at the scene was thunderous! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"First, I’m grateful to all friends and family, for taking the time to come and witness, today here, having such a virtuous and beautiful wife fills my heart with joy..."
Dustin Shepherd was entirely improvising; he had no preparation whatsoever and only found out this morning that he was going to be the groom, leaving his mind in a daze.
But fortunately, he was skilled and eloquent, and thus expressed his emotions smoothly, bringing another wave of enthusiastic applause from the guests below.
The emcee’s voice echoed again—
"The reeds are lush, the white dew turns to frost, the lady in question is across the water, applause please welcome the bride, Miss Serena Sutton, to enter!"
At this moment, the double doors slowly opened in the midst of the loud applause and in that beam of bright light—
Serena Sutton, dressed in a bright red Xiuhe suit, with exquisite makeup and graceful demeanor, looked as beautiful as a blooming peony flower.
She slowly walked up the red carpet toward the center stage.
Dustin Shepherd hurried over to meet her!
The emcee’s smooth voice, accompanied by music, sounded from the speakers again—
"Bending her brow she tidies her hair by the window, laughing she puts on her yellow flower by the mirror, the beauty waits quietly for her lover."
Dustin Shepherd took her hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, as they stepped towards the stage, step by step.
Serena Sutton’s parents, along with Dustin Shepherd’s parents, were immensely touched.
For the wedding’s luxury and grandeur surpassed their own dreams of marriage, they all hoped their children would find partners and marry soon.
Because nowadays, there is too much negative influence in society, many people opt not to marry or have children, often not their true deepest desires, just an impulsive thought in the heat of the moment.
The emcee’s voice was rich in texture, coupled with the festive and grand musical accompaniment, making Dustin Shepherd and Serena Sutton feel as if they had traveled through time.
They began to perform the ceremonies and follow the procedure as prompted.
It was extremely grand; this thoughtfully planned wedding perfectly combined the beauty of Chinese traditions with the romance of love.
From the audience below came wave after wave of enthusiastic applause.
Even many unmarried female guests began planning their future weddings, telling their mothers beside them, "Mom, when I get married, I also want to have a Chinese wedding, this is just too breathtaking!"
"Even the air smells of money, first wipe your eyes, find yourself a wealthy man!"
The girl pouted and fell silent, truly envying Miss Sutton for marrying brother Dustin!
Adrian Lancaster wrapped his arm around Faye Turner’s shoulders, as they sat among the guests too.
His gaze frequently fell on her face, and from her infectious smile, he could tell that his wife truly admired the Chinese wedding.
"Faye."
Faye Turner turned her eyes at the call, "Yes?"
Adrian Lancaster’s voice was gentle, with a smile on his face, "I will arrange an even more grand Chinese wedding for you than this scene, so everyone can see what a real phoenix coronet and ceremonial robe looks like, she is only wearing a Xiuhe."
"When will that be?" she smiled cheekily, light shining in her eyes, "I’m looking forward to it!"
