Behind this wedding, there is a jaw-dropping story. My name is Zhang Yun, and I am the groom of this wedding, born in an ordinary family, and the farcical wedding between the working-class me and this farce seems to be a joke of fate.
When I was a child, I lived in a small city, and although my family was not wealthy, it was warm and harmonious. My parents worked hard and gave everything they could to create a better future for me. I'm not a genius, but I'm a sensible kid. In college, I studied hard, graduated successfully, and became an ordinary white-collar worker. Until one day, I met her - Xu Yu, a sunny girl.
Xu Yu is a breath of fresh air in my life, she is smart, cheerful, and always able to light a lamp for me when I am lost. Our relationship went well, and when I proposed the wedding, she readily agreed. However, at the moment of the wedding, I realized that things were not as simple as I imagined.
On the day of the wedding, I stood at the door of the auditorium in a suit to greet my friends and family. But when Xu Yu walked towards me, I suddenly realized that her wedding dress was not the white I expected, but a deep black. It made me feel a little uncomfortable, as if a sense of foreboding was haunting me.
At the beginning of the ceremony, I saw that there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in Xu Yu's eyes, and her mother was muttering non-stop. The uneasiness in my heart grew stronger, as if a storm was coming. Halfway through the wedding, a group of people rushed in, carrying three boxes of cash. To my surprise, this group of people turned out to be Xu Yu's relatives.
I was stunned and overwhelmed. Relatives and friends at the scene also had a lot of discussions. It turned out that the Xu Yu family did not agree with our marriage, thinking that I could not give her a happy life. To prove that I was capable of taking care of her, I was even asked to pay three boxes of cash.
At this moment, my mood can be described as mixed. I don't understand, why should our relationship be measured by money when it is obviously sincere? Xu Yu's eyes were full of helplessness, and I felt a burst of heartache. I was unwilling, but I couldn't resist this unreasonable force.
So, I resolutely accepted this condition and handed over three boxes of cash to Xu Yu's family. The wedding went ahead and despite the quirky atmosphere, we were eventually married. And the confusion and grievances in my heart are difficult to let go.
Life after marriage didn't turn out as I wanted it to, and despite our efforts to manage the relationship, the shadow of those three boxes of cash lingered. Every time I think about it, I feel a pang of sadness. Perhaps, fate is like this, full of unpredictable twists and turns.
This experience made me understand that relationships are not based on money, but require trust and sincerity from both parties. No matter how many ups and downs there will be in the future, I am willing to accompany Xu Yu to go on. Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate, and everything will slowly become better.
