Chapter 1531 1633. Wedding preparations in progress
For girls, the happiest and most beautiful moment in life is when they put on their wedding dresses.
So in the past year, Shu Chang has been exercising unremittingly and resisted the urge to eat and drink a lot. The diet is basically nutritious meals prepared by nutritionists according to physical conditions.
This kind of nutritious meal is rich in nutrition and low in calories. The only problem is that there is little salt. For the sake of health, even seasonings are rarely used, so the taste is naturally lacking. Even the chef's skills cannot completely change this shortcoming. After all, the materials are limited, and it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
But as long as you get used to it, it's actually okay.
Especially watching the weight drop little by little, the feeling of getting better and better is really addictive.
When Shu Chang just gave birth to her baby, she would be out of breath after walking for half an hour, especially when she encountered some steep slopes. Shu Chang's panting was like pulling a bellows.
But after six months of exercise, Shu Chang completed her first micro marathon on a treadmill, and two months later, still on a treadmill, Shu Chang completed her first half marathon in her life.
It took three hours and ten minutes, and the distance was 21 kilometers.
This is not a particularly good result, but it witnessed Shu Chang's great progress in physical fitness.
Just a while ago, Shu Chang finally completed a full marathon on the treadmill at home. In order to reward herself for such great progress, Shu Chang also begged Nie Wei to give her a cup of milk tea that day.
The moment she drank the milk tea, Shu Chang showed a particularly happy smile on her face.
Shu Chang restricted her diet and worked hard to exercise. In the past year, she has also reduced her weight from 152 kg to 95 kg now, and she looks thinner than before she had a baby.
Because of the continuous physical training in the past year, Shu Chang's fat content is much lower than her original self, so she actually looks slimmer.
The key is that exercise makes Shu Chang's whole person very energetic, unlike the lazy look before.
When people become better, self-confidence naturally comes back. Shu Chang's heart, which was originally staying at home, also began to be restless as she became more beautiful in the mirror.
Especially when he thought of what Nie Wei had said about holding a wedding after the baby was born, Shu Chang felt that he could not stay any longer.
So one afternoon, Shu Chang specially asked the chef in the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Nie Wei was naturally surprised to see such a rich dinner, and he was even more "flattered" when he learned from Shu Chang that it was prepared for him.
You know, since he promised to accompany Shu Chang to diet and lose weight in the clinic, Nie Wei really ate whatever Shu Chang ate this year, and he even ate more self-disciplined than Shu Chang.
After all, he must be a role model to make Shu Chang follow suit.
He almost forgot what a big meal like this looked like, but he didn't expect that Shu Chang would prepare it for him today. After Nie Wei got the news from Shu Chang, his first thought was not surprise, but a little "alert".
After all, people are soft-hearted, and Shu Chang obviously planned this.
Sure enough, during the meal, Shu Chang suddenly asked, "Husband, you are 37 this year, right?"
"That's right." Nie Wei nodded. It is 2021 now. He was born in 1984. His birthday is in March, which has just passed, so he is exactly 37 years old.
"I am also 33 years old." Shu Chang sighed after hearing Nie Wei's answer.
Nie Wei put down his chopsticks with a smile and said, "Wife, just say whatever you want to say. Let's discuss it. You are beating around the bush and I am so scared to eat this meal."
"I mean, if we don't get married, we will both be old." Shu Chang put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
When he heard that it was about marriage, Nie Wei was stunned. To be honest, he didn't take it too seriously. In the first two years of marriage, he did always want to give Shu Chang a perfect wedding, but as time passed, this idea actually faded gradually. After all, it is really easy to ignore some things after getting along for a long time.
He and Shu Chang have been married for more than ten years, and they have talked about weddings more than once, but in the end, they all fell through due to busy work or various reasons.
When Shu Chang reminded him today, Nie Wei remembered that he had promised Shu Chang to hold a wedding before.
"It's good to hold a wedding, we will prepare it right away." Thinking of this, Nie Wei agreed without hesitation.
Hearing Nie Wei's promise, Shu Chang finally smiled, and then began to tell Nie Wei about his ideas for the wedding: "I don't plan to have a big wedding, and the wedding location doesn't need to be very special. I think it's good to hold it in Taoyuan. At that time, we will invite our close friends and family to attend. But I want to take two sets of wedding photos, one Western wedding dress and one Chinese wedding dress."
When she was in her twenties, Shu Chang longed for a grand wedding, in a church with special commemorative significance, wearing a white wedding dress, announcing to the world that she was Nie Wei's wife and would be his partner who would accompany him through life.
But after she turned thirty, Shu Chang's ideas changed.
She no longer likes noise, nor does she want to show off to the world. Her definition of love is no longer grand and passionate, but she hopes to live a plain and warm life.
One room, two people, three meals, four seasons, this is the signature that Shu Chang wrote on her chat software. Just like this sentence, after the age of 30, she longs for ordinary happiness.
So the pursuit of the wedding has changed from announcing it to the whole world to just hoping for the blessings of friends and relatives.
"No problem, I'll ask someone to prepare it in a while." After hearing Shu Chang's requests, Nie Wei immediately nodded and agreed.
Unexpectedly, Shu Chang immediately shook his head and objected: "No, we should prepare the wedding ourselves, at least we can't leave it all to others for us, because the process of preparing for the wedding is also very meaningful."
"Okay, but should we also consult professionals first? After all, I have no experience. Now you say you want to hold a wedding, I really have no idea." Nie Wei asked embarrassedly.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, just like writing a novel. The first few pictures are always the most difficult and the most critical, because that will determine the direction of the entire novel.
For Nie Wei, the wedding is the same.
He has no experience in this area, so when he heard Shu Chang say that he wanted to do it himself, he really felt that he had no idea where to start.
At this time, Shu Chang suddenly straightened his chest and raised his head, and blinked at Nie Wei.
This was like a signal, and Nie Wei understood it immediately: "Wife, then you will be the main person in charge of the wedding this time, and I will help you."
When Nie Wei said this, he thought that Shu Chang actually had experience in preparing weddings, and could even be considered rich, but every time she prepared, it ended up in vain. Now thinking about it, Nie Wei really felt guilty.
The rest of the wedding preparations were easy to say, after all, Shu Chang did not ask for a venue, and did not mean to make a big fuss, but it could not be done hastily because it was one of the most important moments in life. Nie Wei also wanted this belated wedding to become a sweet and deep memory for the two of them.
It would be best if they could remember every detail even if they recalled it in their old age.
"The two most important and troublesome things in wedding preparation are our dresses. It's not just the wedding dresses and suits we wear, but also the clothes of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and even the clothes of our elders. We have to consider them."
"Another troublesome thing is who to invite to the wedding. I suggest only inviting those who are closest to me. I don't want to have a big wedding. I just want a few best friends to witness my happy moment. That's enough." Shu Chang said.
"In addition, we have to consider the best man and bridesmaid. This must be communicated with the other party in advance. There are also some rules for choosing best man and bridesmaid, such as not finding married people..."
Nie Wei knew that it would be troublesome to prepare for the wedding, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
Shu Chang just said the beginning, and Nie Wei felt a little overwhelmed. There are all kinds of rules, all kinds of rules, and even some taboos. This is just Shu Chang's desire to hold a small wedding. I really don't know how troublesome it is for those celebrities to hold a big wedding.
Nie Wei said his idea as if jokingly, and Shu Chang immediately laughed and said, "I know that."
"For example, I attended the wedding of Xiao Ming and AB, and the same is true for Shi Shi's wedding. If it is a grand wedding, the first thing to do is to arrange the seats. It is really like an award ceremony. You have to consider not only the popularity of the stars in the circle, but also their interpersonal relationships with each other."
"For example, first-line stars must sit near the main table, and those idols with high popularity will be arranged in some more convenient positions for taking photos and group photos. You also need to investigate who is whose ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, so it is best not to arrange them at the same table. And who is someone's ex-boyfriend, so they should not be arranged at the same table. It will be very embarrassing to sit together..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop talking, I am overwhelmed." Nie Wei smiled bitterly, "This is even more troublesome than an award ceremony."
"It is true. You think it is so easy to hold a wedding. You just married me. Now you know how excellent your wife is and how worry-free you are." Shu Chang asked.
Nie Wei immediately gave a thumbs up and praised her in various ways. Shu Chang looked proud and couldn't help laughing at the end. She was so happy.
Wedding dresses and suits must be custom-made, and there is no rush. Now that the two of them are sitting together, the only thing they can do is to discuss the bridesmaids and groomsmen, or invite the guests.
"Zi Yi must be invited." Shu Chang said. During the time when she had her baby, Zi Yi happened to be filming in Hengdian nearby. Whenever she was free, Zi Yi would come to Taoyuan to live for a while. During this period of time, their friendship quickly warmed up.
So when Shu Chang wanted to invite good friends, the first person she thought of was Zi Yi.
"And Fan Binbin, Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, these are all good friends, and they must be invited." Shu Chang's girlfriends must not be missing. These people have known each other since Shu Chang was not famous, and have been together until now. They have a deep relationship for more than ten years. Now that Shu Chang is getting married, it is natural to invite good sisters to witness it.
"It seems that there are no more." Shu Chang was suddenly stuck after reading this list of names, and couldn't remember who else she wanted to invite to participate.
In fact, she has many friends in the circle. First, she has a high status, and second, she has a good personality and is the kind of person who is easy to get along with, but these few people are really good friends.
"I don't invite many people here. Cheng Kun must have an invitation, and Xiao Ming brother must prepare two invitations. There are also Tingfeng, Ma Dong, Teacher He, Xie Na, Luo Kai and Luo Yuan who must be invited together."
"By the way, Zheng Shuang, the little girl, can't be left behind, and Sister Binbin must also send one."
"Do you think we should send an invitation to Xun Ge'er?" Nie Wei suddenly asked.
"Is it necessary?" Shu Chang frowned. Xun Ge'er stayed in Huayi and did not accept Nie Wei's recruitment. For Shu Chang, this was a "betrayal".
Moreover, her relationship with Xun Ge'er was very ordinary. It was just that Nie Wei had a good relationship with Xun Ge'er, so the two knew each other.
"Send one." Nie Wei thought about it and decided.
In business, Xun Ge'er's choice was neither right nor wrong in Nie Wei's eyes, and their relationship was not affected. It was just that after Nie Wei was no longer in Huayi, the two had less contact. In addition, the two companies had a subtle opposition relationship, which naturally made the relationship between Nie Wei and Xun Ge'er gradually fade.
"Do you want to send one to Boss Wang?" Shu Chang suddenly asked with a smirk.
"What if he wants to come to participate?" Nie Wei asked back.
"Haha, then come, I'm not afraid of him." Shu Chang replied immediately.
Shu Chang has a good temper, but it depends on who he is treating. Boss Wang is definitely on Shu Chang's blacklist.
In Shu Chang's mind, Boss Wang is labeled as "ungrateful", "shameless", "ugly", "hypocritical", "profiteering"...
"Forget it, let's not send him the invitation. The key is that if he really comes, he will make the good atmosphere awkward." Nie Wei thought about it and refused to invite someone like Boss Wang.
Everyone in the circle knew that Nie Wei and Boss Wang were not on good terms. If such a person came to the scene, even if he did nothing, it would be enough to embarrass the guests.
Shu Chang naturally would not object. In fact, she was just joking.
"As for bridesmaids, I have Fan Binbin and Jiang Xin, plus Zhou Duoduo. I tell you, Jiang Xin and Fan Binbin will definitely ask me for the bouquet. Who do you think I should give it to?"
"This choice is a bit difficult."
"Then who do you think I should choose as best man? All my friends are getting married. Let me think about it carefully..."
The two discussed the guest list until very late.
