The wedding ceremony took place in the living room of Cheng Yang's house.
Cheng Yang carried Fang Lanlan into the living room, where Squad Leader Fang and Lu Jianguo were seated in the main seats. The reason why Lu Jianguo was also in a principal position was partly due to his status, and partly due to his age and seniority.
The rest were seated on both sides. Meng Meng and Chen Lang were the best man and bridesmaid, though Meng Meng looked more like a flower girl. But given the limited number of people available, it had to suffice.
Chen Shaonan was chosen to host because, as a teacher, he was accustomed to speaking on stage, making him a natural fit for the role.
The script had been prepared in advance, and today Chen Shaonan was uncommonly nervous because such a wedding carried the hopes of many people and symbolized a very important meaning.
