The ceremony ended under a shower of countless red rose petals, and as the newlyweds made their exit, the guests left their seats. Lu Qingqing and Zhao Lin stayed to help Ning Anping change clothes.
Considering their age, Song Xiufeng and Ning Anping did not have groomsmen or bridesmaids.
When they went on stage, they walked hand in hand by themselves, without the escort of their parents or flower children scattering petals, and the rings were handled by someone else too.
Even though Qingqing could have served as a bridesmaid for her parents, Anping had made no such arrangement.
She and Zhao Lin helped Anping remove the white custom wedding gown and changed her into a silk cheongsam.
Embroidered in rich red with dragons and phoenixes, they seemed to come alive, dancing and soaring, presenting an auspicious image.
She did not wear the traditional Dragon and Phoenix Robes of the Guangdong region, nor did she wear any gold jewelry.
