My Wedding Ceremony
By Cathy Wu
Dec. 2007
My hubby and I were university classmates. It was lucky for us to get to know each other during that period of time. After a four-year love journey, we finally went to the red carpet on Oct. 20th, 2007. It was such a joyful and fulfilled experience.
The wedding ceremony was held at Nanyuan Guest House, a four star hotel in Xiangcheng District of Suzhou, not far from my home. We set 15 tables in a large dinning-hall, inviting our family members, relatives, friends and colleagues to come. We also asked a wedding agency to beautify it.
The ceremony started at 6:18 pm. The emcee, a gentle man who was hosting the wedding, gave a short speech at the beginning. He directed the groom to come over to the stage, asked him: “Who do you want to see at this moment?” The groom answered: “My bride.” At this moment, a waiter opened the door and I came in with graceful music, all spotlights focused at me.
I found the dinning hall was dark, only the candles on each table were shining brightly. Everybody was staring at me. It was very exciting and romantic.
I stepped up to the stage with my groom. Then under the instruction of emcee we lighted the wedding candles and poured the wine. It was also very challenging because we needed to put our hands together to finish it.
Then we changed our finger rings, at that moment the cool projector lamp were lightening. With the congratulations words from all corners it was the most exciting moment during our wedding. My groom and I then also joined the dinner tables.
The wedding ceremony was an unforgettable and most important event in our life. We were happy to receive so many wonderful congratulations, and also full of enthusiasm with our new life.
