America's Mountains Are King

Chapter 178 Wedding preparations in progress

"Benben, you promised me that you will help me when the time comes. Then come and tell Xiaobai what you will do then." Seeing the fat nephew sitting on the floor and pooh-poohing earnestly, Qi Ping interrupted this unique competition very unpleasantly.

"King Kong and I will lead the way, and we will spread flowers! I am still the best. I will take good care of Pooh and Liang Shanbo. There will be many guests. Pooh and King Kong will follow me!"

Little Benben got up and counted his tasks with his little finger; although he had counted a lot of things, Benben felt that he seemed to have forgotten some things.

"You still have to maintain order. You have to manage the order together with Uncle Joshua, be responsible for receiving guests and arranging their seats. And you also have to help Xiao Diao take care of the ring, so you can't run around at that time."

Qi Lei reminded the fat son who was scratching his head and cheeks, that this little guy went crazy playing in the forest farm, he doesn't remember anything at all; this is why Qi Ping took the trouble to remind Ben Ben, because this kid is unreliable.

Benben became happy, and repeated his task seriously; then he turned around and ran away, commanding King Kong to climb up the table to get the fruit, took two bites of the apple, and then stuffed it into Pooh's big mouth.He rushed out with a large number of small followers, Benben is very busy now.

Benben is very busy, in fact, Qi Ping and Kate are also very busy; the wedding is approaching, and the preparation period is relatively short.During this period of time, although the two of them were a little busy, they were still preparing happily.

To write the invitation letter well, you have to do it yourself, which will be more sincere; because of friendship or status, the words on the invitation card will naturally be different.For example, Luo Yi came to help early with a red envelope; but Professor Bruce, who plans to take root in the forest farm, sincerely invites you to the wedding.

The invitation letter is one thing, and the other is the gift list; in the United States, before the wedding, each couple usually sends out "marriage revelation" and invitations to relatives and friends.

Qi Ping thinks that it is quite convenient for Laomei to give gifts here. As for wedding gifts, the couple will register in advance at the wedding registration office in a large department store, and then notify relatives and friends that they have already made a reservation at a certain shopping mall, so that relatives and friends They know where to go to pick out their wedding gifts.

In this way, relatives and friends will use the computer to check the list of items designated by the newcomer in order to understand the actual needs of the newcomer, and then choose the items they are willing to buy to give to the newcomer. The price of each item is clearly listed on the list, which seems to be clear at a glance.When you choose a gift for your friend, the item corresponding to the gift will be automatically deleted from the computer system, so as to avoid repeated selection and purchase by other friends.

Generally speaking, these gift lists are some relatively common supplies, and there will be a big mouth like a lion without disappointment; everything from pots and pans to some home appliances can be included.And if you want to give a special gift, of course, you don't have to care about the gift list.

This is very good, the gift giver is convenient, and the recipient does not need to worry about waste.

Qi Ping and Kate made a long list of gifts, basically all of which are available; although the family can have everything they need now, they don't necessarily expect to get married to 'earn a fortune'.However, this is a custom and a habit, and of course it needs to be respected. It's not that if you have money, you don't need to accept gifts.

"The prenuptial agreement between you and Kate is about to be signed, let me tell you. Although I am not happy about this matter, it seems that I am preparing for a divorce before I am married. But it is like this now, in China I also have some habits like this. Don’t be stingy to me, money is one thing, feelings are the most important. But this forest farm, you have to hold it in your hand, other things don’t matter.”

Yu Lan reminded Qi Ping that the prenuptial agreement is still very important, so be prepared; although she is very optimistic about Qi Ping and Kate, the relationship is really uncertain.

"I know, I didn't intend to sign it, but if I don't sign it, Kate said, and her family also said it. I guess if I don't sign it, you have to talk to Dad. In terms of property, I will keep the forest farm. The others are not in my name. We will live in Kate’s house soon, and Kate’s will be used for eating, drinking, living and living in the future.”

Qi Ping laughed, money is something outside of him, he believes in his relationship with Kate.

Don't look at what Yu Lan said was to remind Qi Ping not to be stingy, but seeing his youngest son transfer almost all of his property to Kate's name so carelessly, naturally he didn't look good.But I didn't say much. The forest farm is an old hen that can lay golden eggs. As long as the forest farm is still there, there is nothing to worry about; and Qi Ping and Kate have such a good relationship, just look at their stickiness.

"Honey, I have a wedding theme in mind!"

Kate, who was wearing slippers, squeezed into Qiping's arms, not only because she was in a good mood because she was pregnant, but also because she was preparing for the wedding during this period. These are all things Kate is extremely happy about.

Americans pay great attention to the details of weddings, but they strive to be warm and elegant on the whole, and seldom show new ideas like some fashionable young people in Hollywood or New York.However, regardless of the size of the wedding, a "theme" is essential.The so-called theme includes the main colors in the wedding, such as the color of tablecloths, bouquets, small decorations, bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen's tie vests, invitations and gift stickers, and so on.

The Kate family is still a relatively common western family, which is relatively traditional; and some people who are more individualistic can really imagine that there are all kinds of people living in the United States, and their weddings are also very different.There are lively and solemn church weddings; some weddings are held on the top of the mountain, and the guests are accompanied by bare feet;

As for the theme of the wedding and the main color of the wedding, there are only things you can't think of, and there is no crazy bride who can't do it.In the choice of color, the fiancé will politely provide his own reference opinions, but for the future happiness of marriage, he will generally obey the bride's choice unconditionally.Of course, apart from asking for advice from her own mother, sisters, and friends in her boudoir, the bride will also politely ask her fiancé's mother and sisters for advice.

Qi Ping is very clear that he has no say in this matter; all he has to do is listen carefully, and then applaud in agreement.Kate is really too smart, a typical example of absolute ice-snow smartness, virtuousness, and kindness.

"I like that song very much, although my current Chinese level is very bad. The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you!"

Kate proudly kissed Qi Ping hard on the face, she has already set the theme of this wedding; grow old together!
Qi Ping loves the theme, grow old together!
"Our wedding was held at the forest farm this time, and Eric has invited the pastor. We don't have to go to church, I know you are not a Catholic. I think it is better at the forest farm, the environment here is very good, the most important thing is This is our home!"

Kate once again announced the news that the wedding will be held.

The ritual form of some weddings in the United States depends on the religious beliefs of both men and women, and the location of the ceremony has a lot of choice.If both men and women are believers, the chances of choosing the local church are very high.If the wedding is scheduled to be held in another country or a tourist attraction, just find a priest to preside over the ceremony.For example, in the popular beach wedding, the wedding planner will set up a tent and a ceremony platform on the beach, the bride will come slowly under the gentle sea breeze, and the priest will preside over the ceremony and offer blessings to the couple under the light veil.

In fact, this is a bit troublesome, because after the wedding ceremony, the wedding banquet needs to be prepared.If the wedding ceremony is held in a church, then the wedding reception will be held in a nearby hotel.This is not good, it is too troublesome; it is better to be in the forest farm, after the wedding ceremony is held, the cake will be cut, the bouquet will be thrown, and the lively and warm wedding banquet will be held.

Kate's proposal was also approved by her parents. Although Kate's parents are devout believers, this does not mean that the wedding must be held in a church.It is very good to hold a wedding in the forest farm, which is in line with the identities of Qiping and Kaitlin as the owners of the farm. The most important thing is that it is convenient and happy.It's the kids' choice, and their choice deserves support!

"Then we need to continue to get busy. We still need to prepare a lot of things. We need to set up the wedding venue, and we need to invite the band. These all need to be prepared. But I think this is Eric's responsibility. In the evening we will Go find him, this is his mission!"

Qi Ping is not being lazy, but respecting tradition, okay?

Generally speaking, the cost of a wedding in the United States is borne by the woman's family; including the wedding banquet venue, host, band or cake.Even the wedding dress and the meals and drinks for the wedding banquet are all paid by the woman's family.

But it is obvious that the Kate family does not need to spend too much money for this wedding; it is not about being flush and rich, but that the wedding has a very high positioning from the beginning.Weddings of rich people often cost millions or tens of millions of dollars. Obviously, Kate's family cannot afford such a burden, such as custom-made wedding dresses, dresses, etc., which cost a lot of money.

The engagement banquet was borne by Kate's family, but this time the wedding ceremony was completely borne.It's not about breaking tradition, it's about the facts; it's clear that Eric isn't that stubborn and pedantic.

But in the final analysis, he is marrying his daughter, so he needs to do a lot of things.
