New York 2006

Chapter 142 Sweetheart
In the evening, the wedding reception began with soft music playing on the stage.

Luo Ji and his band members were sitting at the round dining table. Next to him sat the groom's best man, Ted Mosby. Ted was a famous New York architect who had recently designed a building in Manhattan.

Ted was assigned by the groom to take care of the band members, and on the other side of Ted sat Tracy from the band.

Luo Ji asked curiously: "Is there sixpence in the bride's shoes?"

Ted smiled and said, "No, but she has a bracelet from her grandma."

Band member Tracy smiled and said: "Now that sixpence coins are out of circulation, they are usually replaced by married women's old belongings."

This is a wedding tradition in English-speaking countries that dates back to the Victorian era.They believe this can bring prosperity to the couple.

Ted showed off like a teacher: "Logic, Tracy, do you know why there is a best man in the wedding?"

"Why?" Tracy asked curiously.

Ted immediately started talking at length: "This tradition began in the 16th century. At that time, the groom chose the strongest man among his friends as the best man. But family marriages may be against the bride's wishes, so the bride sometimes runs away, and the best man can prevent She will not run away. Also, the best man will help kidnap the bride if her parents don't approve of the wedding. The best man needs to be adept at using weapons against enemies or the bride's angry family members."

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Haha, here's another one. So Ted, do you know Kung Fu?"

"Of course I can!" Ted immediately hummed and started gesticulating.

Tracy covered her stomach and laughed, then she patted Ted's shoulder with her hand: "You are so funny!"

Ted immediately became excited and continued to show off: "Look at that table, you guys. The five bridesmaids are wearing the same clothes. Do you know why?"

Tracy was very cooperative: "Why?"

Luo Ji looked at Robin's table of five bridesmaids, all wearing lavender dresses.But it’s not scary to wear matching clothes, whoever is ugly will be embarrassed.Robin is clearly the prettiest.

"Traditionally, the bridesmaids can ward off evil spirits. The matching clothes keep the evil spirits from knowing who the bride is, so the evil spirits cannot curse the bride. When the bride comes to the groom's village, the bridesmaids form a protective net around her. So the bridesmaids form a protective net around her. , if some bad guys came to kidnap her, the same costume would confuse them."

"Hahaha, these traditions are so funny." Luo Ji then said, "But Robin shouldn't worry, the only job of the bridesmaid now is to hold flowers and smile."

Tracy was also smiling brightly, and Ted was even more excited.

"Do you know why there is a veil? In the past, it was believed that the groom should not meet the bride before the wedding. The reason is simple, if the groom does not like the appearance of the bride, he may annul the marriage. This tradition avoids embarrassment for both parties."

Hahahaha, the band members burst out laughing when they heard this.

Ted continued: "Do you know why the bride and groom leave the party early for their honeymoon? In the past, honeymoons were used to escape families who objected to their marriage. When the wedding was over, the groom would take the bride away to prevent her family from coming to find her. Put The bride hides herself for a month, and by then it will be too late to object.”

Ha ha ha ha.Tracy, especially, was laughing so hard.These marriage traditions are simply designed to snatch brides.

"good to eat!"

Luo Ji patted his belly with satisfaction. He felt that this was the most comfortable moment of the day.

At the end of the party, it's time for dancing.This is when the band needs to take action.Several people immediately showed their professional standards and came to the stage.Everyone stood in a circle, surrounding the two newcomers.

Next it was time for the two of them to have their first dance.The first dance is one of the most important parts of an American wedding.

Luo Ji looked at the two of them and said, "Which song do you want?"

"Just "We are young" will do!"

The first dance at an American wedding usually uses the couple's love song. The newlyweds Lily and Matthew obviously chose Luo Ji's music to show respect to the great singer.

The accompaniment team immediately understood and the prelude of the music started.The surrounding guests immediately swayed their bodies to the rhythm of the music.Lily and Matthew danced ballroom dancing with each other's arms in the middle.

"My story needs some background. My friend was in the bathroom, drunk and oblivious. My girl was waiting for me at the other end of the bar."

The groom, Matthew, is obviously a master of dancing. His tall body and Lily's petite body danced gracefully to the rhythm of the music.Luo Ji now sings several of his own songs as if by instinct.In between songs, he could think of other things.

The groom Matthew is much taller and heavier than the bride Lily. How did the newlyweds get together?They night...

The couple's first dance was over, and it was time for everyone to party. The band members played "Marvin Gaye," a more upbeat song.

Luo Ji and others were singing in front, and a crowd of guests gathered in front of him to dance enthusiastically.Luo Ji felt his mouth moving, but the image of the apocalypse appeared in his mind again.

The members of the Magic Red band appeared in the picture, almost exactly the same as now.His band members sang in the front, while below were wedding guests, the bride and groom dancing enthusiastically.

There are white, Asian, Jewish, and black brides and grooms all present. This MV perfectly takes care of all ethnic groups.

I'm hurting baby, I'm broken down
I'm hurt baby I'm heartbroken

I need your loving, loving
I need your love, your love
I need it now
i want your love now
When I'm without you
when i lost you
I'm something weak
Feeling weak like losing a part of your body

Luo Ji was instantly excited and sang the song even harder.He looked at Robin in the field. She was really his lucky goddess. She had released two songs in one day.

Unknowingly, Luo Ji's eyes looked at her much softer.

Sugar
sweetheart
yes please
yes please come

Won't you come and put it down on me
Do you want to come to me and pour sugar on me?

Oh right here, cause I need
oh right here because i need

Little love and little sympathy
a little love and a little sympathy

Robin looked at Luo Ji, who was singing hard in the field. His body was still moving to the music, but his dancing was a bit awkward. She remembered the media's comments on his dancing, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Smoking cigars?"

Taking advantage of his free time, Luo Ji stood in the smoking area outside the restaurant with a glass of orange juice.Luo Ji took out a box of fine Cuban cigars and said to Robin next to him. He knew Robin liked this.

It is separated by wooden fences and surrounded by various flower pots, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.Robin coughed and said, "I won't cough anymore. My throat feels uncomfortable."

Since she didn't smoke, Luo Ji lost interest and put the cigar on the fence nearby.Tracy's voice came from the restaurant. She was singing "La Vie en Rose". The moonlight shone on the wooden fence through the sky, and from time to time the laughter of the guests could be heard inside.

Robin suddenly said: "Logic, what are your plans for the future?" "Of course I will continue to work hard and achieve my career." Luo Ji thought of Penny Pritzker.

"I mean in terms of life?"

Luo Ji said casually: "I don't know, I'll probably just continue the same way. What about you? What are your plans?"

Robin's tone was a little low: "When I first came to the United States, I planned to put my journalism career first, because this career allows me to travel around the world. This is my dream. But now..."

"But what?"

Robin stared at Luo Ji for a while, feeling baffled.Then Robin immediately smiled: "But now I'm stuck as the evening show host."

"What a big deal. If you hate a fixed job like a host, just resign. Come and work here. I'm going to set up a venture capital company that specializes in people traveling around the world to inspect startup companies."

"No, I still like the profession of reporter." Robin then changed the subject: "Let's go dancing!"

"Okay, seeing as how sincere you are, I reluctantly agreed."

Robin smiled and punched him, this time more gently.

The two came to the restaurant where Tracy was singing a folk song from her album.Luo Ji held her waist, joined the dancing team, and danced the waltz with everyone.

"You've grown a beard."

"is it?"

"Well, the fuzz on your chin has turned black."

"Okay, isn't that sexy?"

"Haha. Kind of!"

The two chatted and danced to the song, with dim lights and swaying crowds.Robin slowly rested her head on his chest, and Luo Ji dragged her body to dance.

The song ended quickly, and Robin reluctantly parted: "I'm tired, let's go and take a rest near the dining table."

"Okay. I'm going to take a rest too!"

The two came to a seat and sat down, and Ted, the best man, happened to be next to them.He didn't notice the arrival of the two of them and looked directly at Tracy on the stage.Tracy on the stage was also looking at them.

While eating just now, Luo Ji noticed that the two of them seemed to be calling.Isn't this love at first sight?

Luo Ji suddenly had the idea of ​​being a matchmaker. Somehow, when he saw Ted and Tracy, he felt that they were a perfect match. They had an inexplicable tacit understanding.

He patted Ted on the shoulder: "Bro, are you interested in Tracy?"

"Uh..." A smile that every man understands appeared on Ted's lips.

It seems that he has not run away. Luo Ji said with a smile: "If you like it, go for it. Men should be more proactive. Tracy is single now. Her favorite song is "La Vie en Rose". She herself this year..."

Luo Ji talked about Tracy's personal situation, personality and hobbies in detail.Ted looked a little moved.

Robin also urged: "Go quickly, the song she sang will end soon."

Ted smiled shyly: "Okay!"

After Tracy finished singing a song, Ted whispered something into her ear, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

She turned to the rest of the band and said a few words, then placed her hand on Ted's outstretched hand and the two walked to the dance floor and danced.

Luo Ji looked at Robin with a smile: "I'm such a great matchmaker! I'll hit the target with one hit!"

Robin immediately said: "I have a half-meter relationship with you. I think the two of them are already interesting!"

Bang, a balloon was popped, the lights in the restaurant were suddenly brightened, and Ted's wishful thinking was interrupted.The wedding host's voice sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I address you for the first time, Matthew Erickson and Lily Audlin."

Everyone gathered around, and Luo Ji also followed to join in the fun. Now he didn't want to miss any moment of the wedding. Who knew if the Apocalypse song would be played.

The two of them walked in from outside the restaurant. Lily said to Matthew next to her: "Are you a little sad that I don't have my husband's surname?"

Matthew said calmly: "Looking at it today in the 21st century, yes, a little."

The host then took the microphone and continued: "Next, Matthew and Lily are going to cut the cake!"

The waiter brought in a super multi-layer cake, and the photographer was holding a camera to take pictures.Lily cut off a piece of cake and threw it into Matthew's mouth, with perfect understanding.

Matthew said while eating: "We are going on our honeymoon next. Everyone, continue to enjoy the party!"

Everyone present applauded the newlyweds.Lily stepped forward, hugged Luo Ji and said thank you.Then walked up to Robin.Gave her a big hug.

"Thank you very much, Robin, for giving me a perfect wedding. I love you." After Lily said this, she kissed Robin on the face.

"Disgusting!" Robin was moved to cry and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Why are you so sentimental today?"

"I don't know why there are so many tears today. Maybe it's so beautiful! I'm happy for you! Lily."

Robin took Lily's hand, and the two whispered and walked outside.Watching the two of them get into the car, Robin waved goodbye, then wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue.

"goodbye!"

Robin walked back into the restaurant and saw the guests partying.Barney was dancing with a bridesmaid, and Ted was sitting with Tracy talking.

Luo Ji was surrounded by everyone in a circle, showing off his touching dance moves, and everyone was clapping and applauding!They're all sycophants!
She wanted to laugh when she saw this scene, but she couldn't. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue and disappeared from the carnival party!
