Chapter 468: A Toast By Friends...
"Hello everyone! May I please have your attention for just a few brief, heartfelt moments as we toast the lovely bride and groom?"
Everyone focused on the stage to listen to what Jiang Yang would say. Everyone knew he was the bride's brother, but he was already famous among everyone as a skilled cardiologist. Most of the guests there had visited him in the hospital and they knew how skilled he was.
Jiang Yang started. "I'm the handsome brother of the most beautiful lady here, the bride. I'm honored to be a part of this wedding as much as you are honored to get me here. Loyal, honest, funny, caring, loving, the best man in the world..... Okay, enough about me. Now I will talk about the bride and the groom!"
Everyone laughed at it as Jiang Yang couldn't leave his funny side aside.
"Groom, my friend, Lu Qiang, a man who kept his head even while he lost his heart. He is someone who I look up to, whose love renewed my faith in true love and I think he found his perfect match in, a bride." Pausing a little, he said, "Well, she is my sister, after all, so no wonder he found her the best. Like brother like a sister."
Smiling Lu Qiang nodded to it.
Jiang Yang then looked at his sister and said, "The prettiest bride ever, my lovely sister, I know I have annoyed you so much for all these years and most of the times you felt like to kill me but here is your chance to get everything out. I gave you my best friend as your husband and as marriage is the thing that lets you annoy one special person for the rest of your life, so take advantage of it as much as you can and annoy him to death as your revenge on me. Sorry Lu Qiang, I sold you to my sister now and as my friend, you can sacrifice yourself for my sake."
Smiling, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan nodded.
Looking at the couple, Jiang Yang said, "I wish for a healthy and long life to you. A child every year to you." He looked at elder Lu and said, "Grandpa Lu must be the happiest person after hearing the last line."
Elder Lu nodded smiling so Jiang Yang said again, "Soon you can expect the great-grandchildren, Grandpa." Elder Lu gave him a thumbs up.
Being serious this time, Jiang Yang said looking back at the bride and the groom, "I am so happy that the two of you love each other the way that you do. My wish is that your marriage will be a thing of beauty and a joy forever, always as beautiful as the Bride today. May the loveliness of your marriage increase with each year."
Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan said thanks to her brother in a mute to which he smiled as accepting her thank you.
"Finally, may all your ups and downs come only in the bedroom. Here's a toast to the bride and the groom."
Everyone raised the wine glasses and drank it. After this, the other family members did the toast too. The parents of the bride and the groom. Once it was over, Jiang Yang again took the charge of the mic and said, "Can I have the attention of the bride and the groom here?"
Hearing it, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Yang so he said, "There is a surprise for both of you and I hope you like it." Saying he signaled them to look at their left side towards the small stage which had a piano and one Guitar stool on it with a mic in front of it.
With this, the lights in the wedding hall turned to the dim ones. Beside the stage for the bride and the groom, which had a bright light showing. Lu Feng came there holding a guitar and sat on the guitar stool.
Seeing him, everyone felt surprised, especially all the family members.
"He loved to play the guitar in the past. It's good to see him with it after so long," elder Lu said.
"I know. The things are forgotten coming back to life again," grandma Zhao Shuang said.
Looking at Jiang Yuyan, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yang, Lu Feng said, "Though it is a wedding day, I would like to sing something for the friendship I shared with you guys. Without you three, life seems incomplete. After so long, I am holding this guitar in hand just for you guys, and I hope you will like it. So a toast to the friends which I have here and to the one who disappeared from my life." Saying, Lu Feng looked toward Nixxxie and then Song Meilin as he was talking about his friend Xi Guo, Nixxxie's brother."
Ready to hear him sing, everyone kept silent and paid attention to him. Though it was the song played with piano, Lu Feng used the guitar as he didn't know how to play the piano and he was good with a guitar. Lu Feng started to sing a song called 'Memories' by one of his favorite singers, Adam from Maroon 5.
"Toast to the ones here today,
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way,
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories,
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you.
Everybody hurts sometimes.
Everybody hurts someday.
But everything gonna be alright,
Go and raise a glass and say…..Toast to the…"
It mesmerized everyone with the way Lu Feng was singing as nobody expected him to sing this well. Only Jiang Yang and Lu Qiang knew how well he could sing.
Lu Feng sang the entire song and each word from it was sounding meaningful to the friendship he shared with his friends. Lu Qiang, Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yuyan could feel how meaningful this friendship is for him and Nixxxie could feel how much Lu Feng still missed her brother, Xi Guo. She felt emotional too, remembering her brother. Once the song finished, it filled the hall with the loud sound of clapping.
