Dina was amazed to hear the singing of the servants and bodyguards who formed two long rows on the side of the road along the courtyard of the main hall. It was only a few servant girls and bodyguards who were part of the task of singing Shang Hua Jiao song specifically to enliven the wedding day of the master lady of the Li clan. It hasn't started yet the atmosphere has been this lively and happy.
Dina who was just a spectator was busy clapping her hands to give her contribution. Although he could not sing, at least he could move his body slightly to the melodious rhythm of music. Played live by traditional music performers numbering in their fifties, they are among the most famous groups in Beijing that Wen Ting invited specifically for his sister-in-law's wedding.
“Din, here to join.” Fang Fang's voice that was snuggling at Dina who was dancing was not clear in the middle of the courtyard, instantly stopping Dina's hand and footwork. Fortunately, if not further damage the scene with his leg dance. Dina ran over to Grace, Fang Fang and Stevan were neat as well, ready to welcome the arrival of a pair of newlyweds.
“We can taste Gong Zhu no yes?” ask Grace curiously. She and Stevan chose her honeymoon venue to Hong Kong, all to attend this reception. Despite having to stay at the hotel, it didn't matter as long as he was allowed to set foot into this residence again for Weini's sake. The elders can also understand because according to the pardon agreement, Kao Jing and Grace can come in special conditions, one of the conditions is currently.
“Ng. But watching here is also exciting, other than the previous marriage. It's really festive.” Dina's chirps that moved her body back but were stopped by Fang Fang.
“I'm really not good to see Din.” Fang Fang Blakan's chirps. But Dina did not care, she still danced at will to make Fang Fang just shake his head, resignedly.
Fortunately, the arrival of the motorcade from the groom so crowded and excited it distracts every pair of eyes. The music stopped playing, giving flexibility to one of the important people who had arrived, showing his charm that was so dashing in red clothes, the typical traditional bride with a guan hat ( ⁇ ) worn by the man, adding to his charismatic look real. He walked in front, leading the group behind him exactly four bodyguards who lifted an empty stretcher. The stretcher that will be climbed by the bride. The man came confidently, ready to take home the woman who would soon be his rightful wife.
“Wuaaah. Even Miss Yue Xiao's wedding is not this drag.” Murmured Dina whose pair of eyes sparkle so proud to be in the middle of a grand wedding of the master and his obvious nona feels historical.
Grace felt the same way, amazed at the formal procession. “Bedalah Din, this is the marriage of the successor of the offspring, who married the ruler loh. So it must be in accordance with complete custom, the Li clan still holds full dynastic tradition. Cool yes, I can't wait to see the meeting of two brides.”
Dina mangosteen, the rest he chose to quietly watch the course of the event which he thought was very interesting and will not be forgotten. Events are also covered by selected media that have passed strict selection for security.
Xiao Jun stepped steadily, he was never as happy as he was right now. And on that unforgettable day of his life, he was finally able to officially tie his love to Weini.
Hwa. I'm coming. Oozed Xiao Jun in his heart, full of optimism.

“Hwa, are you ready? Your bride has arrived, you.” Asked Liang Jia who this time looked beautiful in her hanfunya clothes. The marriage that carries the tradition requires the Li family to wear its full attributes according to their respective status. He looked at Weini with awe and a radiance of happiness that looked real. Approaching the girl who stood in a graceful pose, waiting to be picked up.
“Have mother.” Weini replied briefly but her smile continued to be clear.
Liang Jia nodded happily, “Mother has also seen your readiness, finally mother also has to submit officially to you. After a long time saving it, now comes the time to depose the position to him. Accept this, from now on you will assume the responsibility of being the successor of the Li clan. May your marriage be blessed by the heavens and the ancestors, may be blessed with many descendants.” Liang Jia offered an ancient ring that had been passed down for generations to the Li clan's main son-in-law who was entrusted to continue the descent.
Weini stared at her mother's gift, clearly understanding what her mother expected of her. This marriage of the Li clan and Wei clan gave Weini two positions, she could be considered a son and daughter-in-law by her mother.
“Good mother, thank you.” Say Weini steadily.
Xiao Jun who saw that was immediately nervous, feeling his heart pounding so hard he was happy. He had stood on equal footing with Weini, not yet the time to see the beautiful face of his wife before they paid their respects. The matchmaker led by the elder began to prepare to lead the course of the wedding ritual. And Weini slightly clenched her cold hands, undeniable that she was nervous and her eyes could only glance at the tip of her red shoes as well as Xiao Jun's shoes.
“Honor to heaven and earth.” Shouted the elder. Xiao Jun and Weini simultaneously nodded their heads three times.
“Honor to ancestors.” The couple turned their bodies, saluting their ancestral altar.
“Honor to parents.” Dina who served as a bridesmaid also helped Weini shift to get to the front of Liang Jia who was already sitting in his chair, and beside there was one empty seat represented with a photo of Li San. The couple returned to pay their respects. After that it continued to salute to Haris and Xin Er who were also sitting on the opposite side of Liang Jia's chair.
“Both bride and groom respect each other, respect each other.” Now Xiao Jun and Weini faced each other, paying homage three head nods. At the same time it became a symbol that their marriage had been sanctioned by heaven and earth, as well as family and all those present were witnesses.
“Well now the groom please open the bridal cover cloth. Congratulations yes.” Said the elder more relaxed because it was at the end of the procession.
Xiao Jun's hands shook, so excited that he was legitimate as Weini's husband. He touched the red cloth of Weini's face cover, slowly carrying her over his head to reveal a beautiful face hidden there. Weini blushed in embarrassment until her face met red as her gaze collided with Xiao Jun, and vice versa. The romantic moment did not go unnoticed by all who were in the room, compactly giving applause and happy cheers.
“Happy Gong Zhu and master Li Jun.” cheer all there, simultaneously.

The wedding rituals held during the day run smoothly and make all parties happy, but the party still continues with the wedding reception held with a modern theme and open to the public. However, for security reasons, the guards worked hard to check on the guests who would enter the Li residence. The party that carries the concept of out door and in door, so vast Li's residence and the number of invited guests.
Liang Jia's dream was fulfilled, she wanted to wear a glamorous and modern party dress, and now she looks very charming with a maroon red dress. It looked compact with Xin Er who was also wearing a dress of the same color, whereas Haris looked dashing with her after formal suit.
“Yes, so cool the hell Weini.” Murmured Bams who had been so senseless had been so amazed by Li's residence and the atmosphere of the party that he thought was very luxurious. It really shows the class of those who hold it that they have dignity, a very high social status.
“Ssttt kak Bams start, it has been said that here keep the attitude. Call him Gong Zhu.” Bawel Dina, who is assigned to accompany Bams throughout the party so as not to be like a missing person in the crowd.
Bams heard grinning, he realized to make a mistake and grumbled to himself who often slipped. While Stevan and Grace are more busy to take selfies, capturing special night moments in Li's residence that are transformed like a modern palace with full decoration throughout the courtyard. As for Su Rong and Fang Fang who were down and still shy, at that place Su Rong expressed her feelings and was warmly welcomed by Fang Fang.
The bride and groom have yet to show up, the guests' enthusiasm is higher and arrive at the reception venue an hour before the event. The grand event of the ruling lady certainly made people willing to come early to get a safe position in order to follow the event from start to finish. Guests from all walks of life were given the opportunity to enjoy a party without the limitations of caste differences. That was what Weini wanted and he asked the elders when discussing his marriage.
“Sang the bride came...” Pekik Dina was overjoyed, hearing the host who was roaring cheerfully. Contact all guests immediately silenced, giving their highest appreciation to the famous couple to join the party.
Xiao Jun took Weini by the hand, leading her on a slow and graceful walk in her white dress. “You ready Hwa?” xiao Jun asked whispering in Weini's ear as he walked over.
“What's Jun?” Weini did not understand, but she kept her composure and kindly spread a smile.
Xiao Jun was so, walking gallantly and a face full of smiles. He whispered to his wife again. “Ready mother to our children. I won't delay our first night, Hwa.”
And the last words Xiao Jun whispered were a success making Weini lose his smile. He was able to hide his shame. It was unexpected that Xiao Jun dared to bluntly make his point. Short words but able to thrill his soul – first night. That meant Weini had to prepare to merge into one with Xiao Jun tonight, and this was truly their first experience.
Shamefully Weini also whispered his answer, “Who is afraid.”
The two looked at each other and laughed together, walking decisively towards their thrones tonight. To meet the future together, through the first night, the second night, to millions of nights together.
