At the wedding banquet, the lights were softly sprinkled on every table filled with delicious food, the guests were laughing and talking, and the air was filled with joy and warmth. At this time, the lights on the stage suddenly lit up and focused on the small speech area. Everyone tacitly fell silent, knowing that the most touching part of the wedding banquet was about to begin - the speech.

The first to stand up and walk steadily towards the stage was Jiang Ciyou's father. The years had carved deep or shallow marks on his face, but at this moment, those lines were filled with complex emotions, including reluctance, relief, and more blessings for his daughter. He was wearing a neat suit and his hair was meticulously combed, but his slightly trembling hands still revealed the waves in his heart.

Standing in front of the microphone, he coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and slowly scanned the guests in the audience, finally settling on Jiang Ciyou who was wearing a wedding dress not far away. At that moment, time seemed to go back, and he seemed to see the little girl who was babbling and toddling, growing up little by little, going through wind and rain, until today, wearing a white wedding dress, standing next to her beloved, blooming the happiest smile.

"Dear friends and relatives," he began, his voice slightly hoarse but full of affection, "Today, we gather here to witness the happy moment of our little daughter Ciyou and Lu Jingchen. As a father, I am filled with emotion." He paused slightly, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, "I still remember when Ciyou was a child, she fell and broke her knee when she first learned to ride a bicycle, but she stubbornly refused to cry and got up to continue trying. That spirit of not admitting defeat made me feel both distressed and proud. Later, when she went to school, every time she came home with a certificate, her eyes were shining, that was the desire for knowledge and the vision for the future."

The guests in the audience smiled and listened quietly, some nodded slightly, as if they were also immersed in those warm memories. Jiang Ciyou's eyes had already turned red, tears were rolling in her eyes, she held Lu Jingchen's hand tightly, as if drawing strength from her father's words.

"Later," the father continued, "she entered society and encountered setbacks. She gritted her teeth and carried through those difficult days alone. As a father, I saw it with my own eyes and felt pain in my heart, but I also knew that my daughter had a tenacious heart and would definitely make a name for herself." At this point, he turned his gaze to Lu Jingchen, his eyes full of gratitude and recognition, "Until she met Jingchen. I watched them get to know each other, get to know each other, and fall in love. I watched Ciyou smile again little by little and become more cheerful and confident. Jingchen, I want to thank you. Thank you for showing up when Ciyou needed it most, giving her love and support, and making her believe in love and happiness again."

Lu Jingchen stood up slightly and nodded solemnly to Jiang's father, his eyes also full of respect and gratitude. Jiang's father took a deep breath, tears flashing in his eyes, his voice trembling slightly but firm and powerful: "Today, I hand over my most precious daughter to you. I hope you can cherish and love her for the rest of your life like you do now, and no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can go through them hand in hand and grow old together."

There was a warm and long applause from the audience, and all the guests were moved by the deep fatherly love. Jiang Ciyou could no longer hold back her tears, she lifted her skirt, walked onto the stage quickly, hugged her father gently, and whispered in his ear: "Dad, thank you, I love you." The picture of the father and daughter hugging each other made many guests secretly wipe away their tears.

Before the warm and touching atmosphere faded, a humorous figure appeared on the stage - Lu Jingchen's friend, who was also the best man representative of the wedding. He walked onto the stage in a handsome best man suit, holding a glass of champagne in his hand and a bright smile on his face, instantly injecting a touch of relaxation and joy into the slightly solemn atmosphere.

"Hey, hello everyone!" He greeted loudly into the microphone, and the guests in the audience responded one after another, and the atmosphere became lively again. "I am so excited to be standing here today. As Lu Jingchen's good brother, I have witnessed his transformation from a 'prodigal son' to the affectionate groom-to-be. This transformation is even more exciting than the Sichuan Opera face-changing!" His words caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

He took a sip of champagne and continued, "I still remember the first time I saw Ciyou, his eyes were wide open, as if he had lost his soul. I knew then that this guy was doomed." As he spoke, he blinked at Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen smiled helplessly, but his eyes never left Jiang Ciyou.

"Later, when they were dating, every time Jingchen came back, he would share those sweet little things with us, like watching the sunset together, which moved Ciyou so much; and the loving dinner that Ciyou made for him personally, although the taste was said to be…" He deliberately dragged out the tone and left the question in suspense, and the guests in the audience laughed continuously, "But Jingchen ate so deliciously, he was more satisfied than eating delicacies from land and sea. We brothers, watching from the side, were so envious and jealous!"

His story allowed everyone to see the details of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's love. Those ordinary but extremely precious moments connected the trajectory of their love like pearls. "To be honest, seeing them walk along the way, with laughter and small frictions, but always sticking together, I am happy for them from the bottom of my heart. Ciyou, you are a good girl. You have made our brother obedient. You have to bear with him more in the future." He said to Jiang Ciyou with a smile, and Jiang Ciyou burst into tears and smiled, and nodded gently.

"Finally, I want to say something to my brother, Jingchen, you're getting married today and you'll be a responsible person in the future. Don't play around like you did before. Put Ciyou first and live a good life. If you dare to bully Ciyou, we brothers won't forgive you!" He pointed at Lu Jingchen with pretended seriousness, and Lu Jingchen responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I will only love her in this life." Warm applause and cheers rang out from the audience again.

After the two wonderful speeches, everyone was looking forward to the protagonists of the wedding banquet - Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen to go on stage. Lu Jingchen gently took Jiang Ciyou's hand, and the two walked hand in hand step by step onto the stage that symbolizes love and commitment. They stood in front of the microphone, like a pair of lovers from a fairy tale. Jiang Ciyou's wedding dress shone with a holy light under the lights, and Lu Jingchen's suit was straight and handsome. Their eyes met, and love flowed in them, as if the whole world only had each other.

Lu Jingchen spoke first. He turned slightly to face Jiang Ciyou and gazed into her eyes affectionately. His gaze seemed to penetrate her soul and convey all his love to her without reservation. "Ciyou," his voice was low and magnetic, echoing throughout the wedding banquet, "Today, in front of all my relatives and friends, I want to tell you my heart again. From the moment we met, my world began to change. I still remember the first time I saw you in that bar, the loneliness and stubbornness in your eyes deeply attracted me. At that moment, I knew that I wanted to enter your world, want to understand you, and want to make you happy."

Jiang Ciyou's eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lower lip gently, trying not to let the tears fall, but the tears of happiness still rolled around in her eyes. Lu Jingchen continued, "Every day we spent together later was the most precious treasure for me. We went to the beach to watch the sunrise together. When the first ray of sunshine shone on our faces, I looked at your happy smile and thought, in this life, I must make you so happy every day. We experienced difficulties together and faced challenges together. Every time you were strong, it made me love you more."

He raised his hand slightly and gently stroked the hair by Jiang Ciyou's ears, his movements gentle and doting. "Ciyou, you are the most beautiful encounter in my life and the most important person in my life. I promise you that in the days to come, no matter what the weather, I will hold your hand tightly and never leave you. I will laugh with you when you are happy, and give you support when you are sad. I will use my life to protect this hard-earned love and protect you."

Jiang Ciyou could no longer suppress her inner emotion, tears burst out like a flood, she nodded slightly, her voice was tearful but firm: "I believe you, Jingchen." The guests in the audience were moved by their sincere love, many of them quietly wiped the tears from their eyes, and the whole wedding banquet was immersed in a deep warmth. The applause sounded like thunder, and it lasted for a long time, sending the most sincere blessings to the happy promise of the couple.

Amid the applause and blessings, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen hugged each other tightly. Their figures looked so warm and firm under the lights, as if they were announcing to the world that they would walk through life hand in hand, fearless of any storms, and that their love story would continue to write the most beautiful chapter in the long river of time. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all the beauty was frozen on this stage, becoming an eternal memory in the hearts of every guest.
