Chapter 987 Wedding (Part 1)
Now young people in China hold weddings, many of which are both Chinese weddings and Western weddings. For example, the groom takes the best man to pick up the bride at the bride’s home, sends red envelopes to go through the door to find shoes, etc., are the procedures of Chinese weddings, while the bride and groom wear formal dresses and wedding dresses to swear oaths in front of everyone, which is the procedure of Western-style weddings. What's more, in traditional Chinese weddings, offering tea to parents, first worshiping heaven and earth, second worshiping couples worshiping high hall, etc. and oaths are put together, which is a wedding that is more mixed between East and West.
Neither Xiao Yao nor Sun Tingting liked this mixed wedding process very much. Since the wedding was held at Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting decided to skip the steps of traditional Chinese weddings such as picking up the bride and hold a purely Western-style wedding.
For this wedding, Xiao Yao did not hire a wedding planning company. The pre-wedding planning and preparation were discussed by the two of them with the planning department of the studio, and the specific preparations were completed by the staff of their own studio.
Xiao Yao's career or business scope spans multiple industries such as film and television music, and he can be regarded as a first-line celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry. He established his personal studio a few years ago. However, although Xiao Yao's career is developing well, his reputation is big enough, and there are many types of businesses, the workload of this studio is relatively not very heavy.
In terms of music, Xiao Yao himself is a creator, and he writes songs for others, so there is no need for a studio to help him invite songs and find music works. Even when writing songs for others, Xiao Yao seldom accepts invitations from other companies. Instead, he writes songs for a certain singer for some reason, and most of them are temporary decisions, so the studio even helps him There is no need to find a co-singer.
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 projects created by himself, and he does not need a studio to help him find projects and roles. Xiao Yao is the producer, and the producer is a film and television company, not his own studio. Projects attract investment and sponsorship, build a crew to find cast members, etc., that is the business of the film and television company's producers and producers, not Xiao Yao. About the remote 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 responsible for the ratings. But Xiao Yao doesn't have much ambition and pursuit in variety shows. Up to now, he doesn't even have a signature variety show of his own, and he doesn't plan to have one. He appeared on variety shows firstly for fun, and secondly for the promotion of film and television works. He was basically only a flying guest, so it was very easy to get in touch with.
In addition, he himself does not accept commercial endorsements, has not held large-scale concerts, and the studio does not sign other artists, so in general, the workload of employees in the studio of Xiao Yao, a big-name star, is even more than that There are far fewer studios where famous coffee is not as good as his second- and third-tier stars.
This time when Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting held a wedding, the people in the studio took the initiative to ask Ying to take care of all the related matters, so there was no need for Xiao Yao to find a wedding planning company. It was only because the wedding was held in Germany, and it was a purely Western-style wedding, that I discussed with Xiao Yao and hired a senior European independent wedding planner as a consultant.
Do some necessary guidance.
The wedding venue of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting is Neuschwanstein Castle in 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 got a part of the venue as a wedding venue through his relationship, so naturally he couldn't live there. Therefore, the base camp of everyone involved in the wedding was located in Füssen, a town closest to Neuschwanstein Castle.
After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting arrived in Fussen, Germany, and met with the staff preparing for the wedding at the studio, they 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 come.
Fussen 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 late Gothic Höhe 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 again, continuing their pre-wedding honeymoon.
However, the "honeymoon" between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting only lasted two days in Fussen. Two days after they arrived in Fussen, their family members, brothers and sisters who served as best man and bridesmaids, and guests invited to the wedding also began to arrive in Fussen one after another.
People from Xiao Yao's studio have booked a hotel in Fussen. The accommodation of all guests has already been arranged, and there is also a special person in charge of reception arrangements. In fact, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting don't need to do anything specific. But they are here to attend the wedding, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are the parties, and they are already here, so they still have to come forward to receive them. Putting aside these people and not even seeing each other, it is not appropriate to care about the world of two people.
Although he rejected several media's requests for live broadcast reports on the wedding, and did not disclose the location and date of the wedding on social media, with the arrival of the guests, Xiao Yao still found them outside the hotel where he was staying and even in the city of Fussen. The figure of a Chinese reporter.
Xiao Yao didn't care too much about this. Although Xiao Yao had already informed the wedding that media reporters would not be invited when posting the invitation, and told the guests that he wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, he did not ask for absolute secrecy. Even if those guests don't break the news to the media, they will inevitably be found out by interested gossip entertainment reporters. After all, a large part of the guests are also celebrities. Managers and assistants need to know the itinerary of the celebrities, and it is a very common way for Yuji to inquire about news from celebrity assistants.
On the happy day, Xiao Yao was also very friendly to these reporters. Xiao Yao would smile and wave to say hello when he found a reporter secretly taking pictures, but when some reporters boldly asked Xiao Yao for an interview and wedding report after seeing Xiao Yao’s performance, Xiao Yao was still indifferent. Smiling and politely declined.
Most of the guests attending the wedding are Chinese, and there are also some Europeans and Americans, but most of them come to Germany to go abroad. Because of going abroad, of course everyone will not wait until the day of the wedding, they always have to come in advance, but most of these guests are stars, and most of the schedules are tight, so it is impossible to go too far in advance. The guests arrived one after another, which also showed that the wedding day was approaching.
With an experienced western wedding planner as a consultant, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's western-style wedding was still very authentic. Not only are all the procedures in the wedding completely in accordance with Western-style weddings, old, new, borrowed, blue, and other customary things in Western-style weddings are prepared, even the bridal shower, bachelor party, and rehearsal dinner before the wedding There are also arrangements.
The best man and bridesmaid are basically the group of people who have the best relationship with the bride and groom. Xiao Yao's best man team is Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan, and Zhou Zhihao. Sun Tingting's bridesmaids are Zhu Zitong, Nina Aiyiguli and Lin Qisan's younger sister Lin Xiaoyi. They were also the first of all the guests to arrive in Fessen, with their parents.
A large part of the reason they were the first to arrive was for bridal showers and bachelor parties. Whether in the previous life or in this world, there are many grooms in film and television works who delayed the next day's wedding because they had too much fun at the farewell bachelor party the night before. Xiao Yao didn't want the tragedies in the film and television works to happen to him, so he arranged these two events for two days before the wedding, and the day before the wedding was a preview dinner that was relatively less exciting and unlikely to be missed.
Although the time for the farewell bachelor party and bridal shower was 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 who participated in the event. Both Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting have already arrived in Germany. Naturally, it is impossible to fly back to Huaxia to attend the party and then fly to Germany. The location of these two events can only be near the wedding venue. Zhao Rui and others have never been to Feissen. To arrange a farewell bachelor party, it takes time to familiarize themselves with the environment. Of course, they need to come early.
There are many tricks that can be done at the farewell 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 the places in Fussen, so there is no Paying some shitty people to come to a party and put on some shitty show where the main thing is drinking together.
The farewell bachelor party was organized by the best men Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, but not only the groom and the best man attended the party, Xu Fei, Chen Chen and other single men with good relationships and similar ages also participated. Xiao Yao is the groom, so he is naturally the target of other people's drinking at the party. This night, Xiao Yao was drunk by everyone without any suspense. Fortunately, Xiao Yao is young, in good health, and has a good ability to metabolize alcohol. The discomfort of the hangover the next day was not too strong, and it did not affect the rehearsal dinner in the afternoon and evening.
After the farewell bachelor party and rehearsal dinner, it's time for the wedding.
Western-style weddings are generally held in the afternoon. After lunch, everyone set off from Fussen to Neuschwanstein Castle.
Although Xiao Yao didn't have any commercial endorsements, and the wedding didn't sell the live broadcast rights to the media, media reporters were invited to participate, but their wedding must be covered by the media, and there are a lot of celebrities among the guests, which also has considerable publicity As a result, this wedding still got some sponsors. Of course, these sponsorships do not involve money, they are all in-kind sponsorships of items needed for the wedding. Just spend less money and definitely don't borrow wedding money to make money.
One of the biggest sponsorships comes from BMW. Since Xiao Yao and BMW have established a fairly good relationship through the series of commercial short films, Martin Grotz of BMW sent thirty-six cars to Xiao Yao as wedding cars, which can also be regarded as BMW's And the wedding gift he himself gave Xiao Yao.
Among the thirty-six vehicles, four were commercial vehicles for the wedding staff, and they had already set off for Neuschwanstein Castle in the morning. Among the remaining 32 cars, the two cars for the groom and the groom and the bride and bridesmaids are the latest high-end cars launched by BMW this year, and the other thirty cars used to carry the guests are the same model and the same color vehicle. Such an all-BMW convoy drove up to Neuschwanstein Castle in a mighty way. It was very shocking to watch, and it also attracted the attention of many tourists who went to Neuschwanstein Castle on the road.
Arriving at Neuschwanstein Castle, the guests went to the wedding venue, while the bride, groom, best man, bridesmaid and parents of the bride went to their respective dressing rooms to change clothes and touch up makeup for final preparations.
The tradition of Western-style weddings is generally held in the afternoon, and does not pay attention to a specific auspicious time. When the bride and groom are ready, the wedding officially begins.
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 beginning of the wedding ceremony. The bridegroom takes his place on the stage, the best man and bridesmaids take their places facing the guests on the left and right sides of the stage, the flower girl is in front holding a flower basket and spreading petals, the bride comes out with her father's arm, the bride's father hands the bride's hand to the groom's hand, the bride and groom are in front of the pastor Answer the question and say "I do", that is, take an oath, put wedding rings on each other, the groom hugs and kisses the bride, the priest announces that the two are husband and wife, and so on.
The difference from many mixed eastern and western weddings in China is that Sun Tingting is a believer, so a real pastor presided over the oath on the spot, and then there is no link for the bride and groom to tell their love history, and there is no link for the bride and groom's family to give a speech. Even the part where the bride threw the bouquet was put in the later dinner party.
After the wedding ceremony, the next step is the photo session. Xiao Yao specially invited Chen Xuan, a well-known photographer, to be the photographer of the wedding scene. Naturally, there is no limit to taking pictures. In addition to the traditional group photo that must be taken, those who are willing among the guests can take a photo with the bride and groom, and even some people come together, and the combination of photo subjects can also be freely played. This is also a period of free time for the guests between the wedding ceremony and the dinner.
Neuschwanstein Castle was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as his palace. Since it is a palace, of course there are places with various uses and functions. In addition to bedrooms, study rooms, living rooms and other rooms in the castle, there is also 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, the guests don’t have to leave Neuschwanstein Castle. After taking pictures, they can freely visit the Neuschwanstein Castle. In the evening, they go directly to the banquet hall to attend the dinner.
