Chapter 865 The Wedding of the Century (Part 1)
The State Guesthouse also accepts weddings, but the threshold is very high and ordinary people have no access to it.
But Li Yi went to the State Guesthouse to help out more than once or twice. He was already familiar with the top and bottom of the hotel as if it were his own home, and he was half a member of his own family.
Moreover, Li Yi’s personal connections and financial resources are far higher than the threshold requirements.
Hence, from the beginning of preparations for the wedding, Li Yi had already made arrangements for the wedding venue to be at the State Guesthouse.
The day before the wedding, relatives of both Li Yi and Liu Yifei checked into the State Guesthouse, and Li Yi booked half of the rooms in the State Guesthouse.
Originally, the State Guesthouse only accommodated open-air weddings, but because of Li Yi, the State Guesthouse opened its largest banquet hall for the first time to hold Li Yi's wedding ceremony.
As early as early April, Li Yi had already planned the layout of the wedding venue.
However, due to the schedule at the State Guesthouse, it was not until a week ago that the construction team arrived and decorated the wedding site.
However, although there is only one week, all the props and decorations on site were made by Li Yi in advance, so they only need to be brought in and set up.
So it only took a week to successfully build a luxurious wedding scene like an ancient garden in the banquet hall.
Except for Li Yi and Liu Yifei, no one has seen the layout of the scene, not even Liu Xiaoli.
Therefore, on the wedding day, when the guests entered the venue, they were immediately stunned by the luxurious decoration.
The banquet hall has turned into an ancient royal palace garden.
The semicircular porch is entirely made of mahogany, without using a single iron nail, and is entirely connected by a mortise and tenon structure.
The tiles above the porch and the central attic all have a golden luster, illuminated by the overhead lights, as if they were made of real gold.
In the center of the courtyard, there is an Albizia julibrissin tree with pink flowers in full bloom. The branches and leaves are luxuriant and the flowers have a pleasant fragrance.
Some guests raised their hands to touch out of curiosity, only to find that the tree was actually real and not a model.
In addition, the red palace lanterns hanging on the porch and attic, the carved dragons on the pillars, the screen inside the attic door, and the flower windows on the wall are all full of antique charm, like returning to an ancient palace.
Even the red ribbons hanging on the ceiling are woven with dragon and phoenix patterns with gold threads, which reflect a golden luster under the light, making it extremely festive.
While the guests were full of praise, Li Yi's live broadcast team was also holding equipment, filming the scene, and conducting live broadcasts.
As early as the day Li Yi and Liu Yifei received their certificates, they announced the good news on Weibo.
That Weibo post brought down Xinlang’s server for three hours, and then stayed on the hot search list for three days.
From then until now, the topics of Li Yi and Liu Yifei have been on the hot search every now and then, attracting the attention of countless people.
In the past few years, Li Yi and Liu Yifei have become the top celebrities in the country, with countless fans and strong reputation. They are a model couple in the minds of countless people.
After four years of getting along, they finally achieved success, which made netizens who followed them feel like their own children have finally grown up, and they felt full of cultivation.
Hence, countless netizens are paying attention to the news of their wedding and asking about the progress of the wedding on their Weibo every day.
Every netizen who knows Li Yi knows that Li Yi has many exquisite intangible inheritance skills, and the handicrafts he makes can fetch hundreds of millions of dollars.
His wedding will definitely not be hasty.
Facing their inquiries, Li Yi also announced the wedding date on Weibo and promised to start a live broadcast on that day, inviting fans to attend the wedding online.
Therefore, after the live broadcast team started the live broadcast in the morning, tens of millions of people immediately poured into Li Yi's live broadcast room.
You must know that the number of viewers who regularly watch live broadcasts on the entire platform is only 70 to 80 million, and they do not all watch at the same time. The number of 50 million viewers online at the same time means that basically all the viewers who are watching the live broadcast come to Li Yi's live broadcast room to watch the excitement.
The layout of the wedding scene also amazed the audience and amazed them with admiration.
“This is so beautiful!”
“Good boy! How much will this cost?”
“They say celebrities’ weddings are luxurious, but today I saw what true luxury means.”
“Western-style weddings are really average. In terms of appearance, it has to be a Chinese-style wedding!”
While the audience in the live broadcast room was admiring, the guests also entered the venue one after another.
The guests invited to the wedding, except for relatives of Li Yi and Liu Yifei, were all well-known figures.
The two brothers from Huayi Brothers, the largest film and television company in China, could only sit in the third circle of seats near the door after arriving.
They were a little stunned when they were brought to their seats, but after seeing the name tag on the table in front of them, they sat down obediently and upright, without daring to make any mistakes.
As the venue gradually filled up with guests, the audience in the live broadcast room also began to recognize some of the faces.
After recognizing their identities, the audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed repeatedly.
“Damn it! These are all big guys!”
“Has anyone seen the name tags on the table in the front row? I just took a glance, they are all big guys who appeared in the news!”
“Is my Brother Yi so good? No wonder Brother Huayi can only sit at the bottom of the table!”
“Stop talking, don’t you dare to shoot over there without looking at the assistant? Be careful that the live broadcast room is blocked.”
As the audience said, the assistant in charge of the live broadcast was sweating profusely.
The venue was full of big guys, and he would be photographed accidentally. He could only block the camera with his hand, ready to cover it at any time.
Fortunately, the wedding ceremony was about to begin, and the bride and groom were about to appear, otherwise his clothes would have been soaked.
At 12 o'clock at noon, the master of ceremonies dressed in Ming Dynasty official robes appeared on the stage, attracting everyone's attention to the stage.
“Dear guests and friends, today is the year of Jiawu, the month of Jisi, and the day of Gengchen!
Look at this scene! Red tent with thousands of lights! The hall is brilliant! Together with the prison! Luan and phoenix sing in harmony!
Today, we have a new son-in-law, Li Yi, and a new bride, Liu Yifei. They will inherit the ancestral system, preface it with a beautiful seal, wear gorgeous clothes, practice Han rites, respect the etiquette and ethics of the ancestors, and carry out the wedding ceremony in harmony with the two surnames!
Today is auspicious and auspicious, and I sincerely invite you all to gather together, taste fine wine and delicious food, and witness the happy marriage of the two. I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and the best of Qin and Jin!
The wedding ceremony officially begins! Congratulations! "
As the emcee announced that the wedding ceremony had officially begun, a deep and majestic sound of a brass horn came from behind the ceremonial stage.
In front of the central attic, two drummers also beat the big drum. The sound of the drums rumbled throughout the venue, overwhelming all the noise.
While the drums were playing, eighteen musicians came to the porches on both sides with their instruments.
As soon as the drums stopped playing, eighteen musicians played joyful music at the same time, instantly turning the scene into a sea of celebration.
At the same time, the service staff wearing twenty-four pleated jade skirts opened the door.
Outside the door, Li Yi, wearing a gorgeous brocade dragon robe, appeared in front of everyone.
