Xiao Shrimp is the same age as me and is from the design department. The two of us can be said to be childhood sweethearts, and we have become the best girlfriends since our freshman year. We go to class together every day, go to the cafeteria to eat together after class, and Xi and chat together in the dormitory in the evening. After work, we often work overtime together and hang out together. I like his mature and steady personality, and he always cares about me and takes care of me. I think he's the kind of person you can trust with your whole life.
In this way, our relationship slowly changed from friends to lovers. Everyone says that we are a model couple, and no matter what difficulties and problems we encounter, we can communicate and solve them peacefully. In December last year, Xiao Shrimp proposed to me, and I readily agreed, and we decided to get married this year.
After the engagement, according to Xi, we need to negotiate the bride price. At first, everyone was relatively harmonious, but later the question of the amount of bride price gradually became the focus of debate.
But the situation of Xiao Shrimp's family is much better, his father is an executive of a listed company and lives a very wealthy life. When I first got engaged, I was talking and laughing, but when my parents started discussing the bride price, the atmosphere became embarrassing.
Xiao Shrimp's mother insisted that the bride price should be at least 500,000, and my parents said that it was the limit to be able to give 300,000. The parents on both sides argued, and we became embarrassed. I tried to mediate, but it was always in vain.
Later, one day, Xiao Shrimp came to me and said in a very serious tone: "My mother said that if your family can't agree to the 500,000 bride price, we will cancel the marriage contract." Think about it yourself. I was in a hurry, so I immediately knelt down in front of him and said, "Little shrimp, please don't do this, I can't live without you!."Is it okay to pay 300,000 dowry?I'll talk to my parents about it!”
Looking at the back of the shrimp leaving, I cried breathlessly. We're obviously engaged and have such a good relationship, how could he abandon me like this?Didn't he ever really love me?
I called Xiao Shrimp a lot, and sent a lot of messages begging him to think about it again, but he didn't reply to any of them. This is not the character of Xiao Shrimp, he has never ignored me before. It makes him seem so cold and unforgiving.
My heart was like a knife, and I decided to completely cut off the relationship with Xiao Shrimp. Since he can cancel the marriage contract casually, then there is no point in us continuing to be together. I sent a message to Xiao Shrimp with red eyes, telling him that I would cancel the marriage and that everyone would go their separate ways in the future.
After sending the message, I regretted that I shouldn't have been so impulsive. But I remembered the indifferent expression of Xiao Shrimp when she left, and I gritted my teeth and let this decision be settled.
To my surprise, the shrimp came back soon. He said in an excited tone that in fact, he had no intention of canceling the marriage contract at all, he just wanted to teach both parents a lesson, so that they would not hurt our feelings for money again. He reiterated to me that he still loved me deeply and that he could not live without me. He begged me not to break the engagement.
I listened to his explanation, and I was both moved and confused. I asked him why he had turned away so decisively that day, without even looking at me.
Xiao Shrimp said apologetically that he was embarrassed by his parents' arguments and wanted to give them a heavy blow, so he pretended to be so indifferent. But then he didn't expect this action to really hurt me, and he regretted it very much.
After listening to Xiao Shrimp's sincere explanation, my heart began to soften. It seems that the misunderstanding between us was caused entirely by a parental dispute. Little Shrimp still loves me as much as ever.
After a long conversation with Xiao Shrimp, I finally understood his intentions. He also re-promised me that he would be good to me for the rest of his life, and that he would discuss everything with me in the future. I also promised him that I would not doubt his love because of a misunderstanding.
Although the misunderstanding between them was resolved, the dispute between the parents still existed. In order to avoid the strife of my parents from continuing to hurt our relationship, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
So I found both parents, told them everything that happened a few days ago, and said sincerely: "My relationship with Xiao Shrimp has never changed, don't break your children's hearts for money." We don't want a rift between you either. This misunderstanding taught us a valuable lesson, that feelings are more important than anything else. Give in, and we'll do it all over again. ”
Both parents were red-eyed when they heard what I said, and they finally realized that they cared too much about money and neglected their children's feelings. So the two sides sat down again to talk. The atmosphere of the negotiations has finally eased considerably.
After discussion, they decided to set the bride price at 100,000 yuan. This amount is acceptable to me and the shrimp's family. In the end, everyone shook hands and made peace, and the dispute ended.
My parents reconciled, and Xiao Shrimp and I started preparing for the wedding again. I bought a beautiful wedding dress, and the shrimp made a well-fitting suit. Friends know that we have been through ups and downs and have come to give us blessings.
On the day of the wedding, I wore :
Dressed in a beautiful wedding dress, I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but cry again. I think of the bits and pieces of myself and the shrimp, as well as the ups and downs we have gone through, and I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Not long ago, we were about to break up because of a misunderstanding, and now we are about to enter the palace of marriage. I'm really glad that in the end, Xiao Shrimp and I both mustered up the courage to explain the truth, otherwise we would have lost each other.
I gently wiped away my tears with a tissue, took a deep breath, lifted my wedding dress and walked out the door. Outside the door, the shrimp was already waiting for me. He was wearing a handsome suit and his eyes were full of love.
The bride is going to cry, and the makeup will be spent later. Xiao Shrimp smiled and took out a handkerchief to help me wipe the corners of my eyes.
I was just so happy, it was like a dream. I laughed too, put my arm around the shrimp, and came with him to the church.
Our family and friends have been waiting in the church for a long time. My girlfriends say I'm so beautiful and the shrimp are so handsome. The church was full of their blessings and greetings.
Now ask the bride and groom to exchange rings. The pastor said.
Xiao Shrimp opened the ring box and took out two silver rings from it. He slowly put one of the rings on my ring finger first, and then I smiled and helped him bring the other.
I do. Little Shrimp looked at me and said.
I would too. I replied softly, tears welling up in my eyes again. There was a burst of applause and cheers all around.
First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming. Xiao Shrimp said, "The road between me and Xiao Yu was not smooth, but fortunately we didn't give up." I feel extremely honored to be legally married to Xiaoyu today. I will always love her and take care of her. Thank you again to the parents for giving in and giving us this day. I want everyone around us to be happy. Cheers!”
Xiao Shrimp's words touched me and all the guests very much. Everyone raised their glasses and sent us their best wishes.
After the banquet, Xiao Shrimp drove me to the hotel I had booked. This honeymoon suite is very luxurious and romantic, with flowers and candlelight throughout.
Like it here?Little shrimp put his arm around my waist and said with a smile.
Loved it, it was like a fairy tale. I was amazed.
That's good. Little Shrimp kissed me on the cheek, "Let you be a princess tonight." ”
I smiled and nodded, leaning into the shrimp's arms.
By the way, I have something for you. Xiao Shrimp said suddenly. He took out a delicate gift box, "This is our wedding gift, I hope you like it." ”
Curious, I took the gift box and opened it, and inside was a very beautiful necklace decorated with a diamond of a special shape.
Thank you so much!"I was so touched that I gave the shrimp a big hug.
And that's not all, open the necklace. Xiao Shrimp said with a smile.
I opened the necklace carefully and found that there was actually a miniature memory card inside. "What is this?I asked, puzzled.
Inside are all the vows I have made to you. Little Shrimp looked at me with a smile, "Whenever you feel like I don't love you anymore, listen to this and know that my heart will never change." ”
When I heard that, I couldn't control my tears anymore. Little Shrimp hugged me and comforted me softly.
Silly girl, just be happy. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pretended to be ruthless and left to make you so sad. ”
I was also wrong and shouldn't have questioned your love for me. From now on, we must communicate more and firmly believe in our love no matter what happens. ”
Deal. Shrimp smiled and imprinted a kiss on my forehead.
At this moment, I understood that Little Shrimp would always love me, just as I would always love him. With him by my side, my life will be incredibly happy.
