Chapter 37

A couple of months have passed since graduation, many things have happened since then, Jiang Cheng played the piano at some weddings, but that could only take him so far. So, he decided to do some street and bar performances so that more people could get to know him and his music. Nie Huaisang managed to get an acting gig but was a side character. His older brother wasn't too happy about that, but he saw that his younger brother was doing his best so he didn't say anything about it. Xichen is still teaching at Julliard but now does some piano lessons from his house.

Lan Zhan decided to get a house of his own, he didn't want to bother his brother and he and his uncle were still not on good terms. For Wei Ying, he still hasn't decided on what agency to join. He wanted to decide after the wedding.

Thankfully, they were finally getting ready for their wedding that was going to happen on August 5. (Yibo's Bday) They were right now discussing how many people should come to the wedding, they both made a list of who they wanted to come. Wei Ying's list was pretty long compared to Lan Zhan's. Wei Ying's list included his friend, family, and some other people who were great influences on his life. Lan Zhan's list included his family and a couple of close friends and staff members.

"Are you going to invite your Uncle?"

"Mmm."

"Really?"

"Mmm, he is family."

"What would you do if he doesn't come?"

"Doesn't matter."

"But he is your uncle."

"You are more important."

Wei Ying didn't want Lan Zhan to lose his uncle just because of him.

"I will go talk to him." Wei Ying thought

"Okay, so the max people will be about 60 people."

"Is that enough people?" asled Lan Zhan

"That should be fine. I know that you don't like to be around many people. But I want it to be lively, so I came to the decision of inviting 60 people If there are fewer people than we thought we can just go with 50"

"Mmm, okay."

With that decided, they went on to look at different wedding venues. There were so many nice-looking venues, the first thing they needed to do was make sure that it can fit up to 100 people. After hours of looking for the best place, they came upon a venue called "The Rockleigh Country Club," it was in New Jersey. The place was gorgeous, it was big and was very elegant. What was good about this place is that there are two different rooms, one is for the ceremony and one is for the dinner. But the bad thing was that this was very expensive, it had 4 dollar signs on google.

"Is this place to expensive, from some of the comment they say that it costs $200-$400 per person. From what I see on the guest list, that will already be $8k-$16k plus the renting of the place that's probably another 10 to 20 thousand and we still need to get decoration and other stuff for the wedding."

"It is okay, Wei Ying; anything for you."

"But, it's so expensive; we can buy a car or two with this much money."

"It's fine."

"If you say so."

"I'll ask Uncle to pay Lan Zhan back or even pitch in to pay, I can't Lan Zhan pay for everything." thought Wei Ying

Next was finding decoration, so they had to think of a color theme that they wanted. Lan Zhan's favorite colors were white and blue, and Wei Ying's favorite colors were black and red. They searched on many different websites until they found some black, red, and white seats and table decoration. They chose roses and candles as the centerpiece.

"This is going to be an expensive wedding."

"It's okay."

"Haha, it's nice to have a rich man."

"Mmm."

There were still so many things that needed to get done. They still had to hire a host, people to play music and sing, and they needed to find food for dinner.

The day was coming to the end, Wei Ying was tired and hungry.

"Lan Zhan let's go eat; I'm hungry."

"Okay."

After dinner, Wei Ying went to go and take a shower. Lan Zhan sat in the living room thinking about the wedding.

"Maybe I can ask Zhang Yixing to come and sing at the wedding; Wei Ying does like him."

The thought of Zhang Yixing being at the wedding didn't sit well with Lan Zhan, but he pushed it aside for the person he loved.

Lan Zhan goes and gets his phone, and he goes to Wechat to go and message Yixing.

'Hey, can I ask you a question?' - Lan Zhan

He looked at the time, right now it was 9 pm. So that meant that in China it was now 9 am.

'Why if it isn't our little Zhan Zhan?' - Yixing

'What do you want?' - Yixing

'I was wondering if you would be able to come out on August 5th to come to me and Wei Ying's wedding.' - Lan Zhan

'Oh, um let me ask my manager about it first.' - Yixing

After a while, Lan Zhan gets a reply back.

'I am free that day.' - Yixing

'Thank you, also can I ask you if you can ask your group to come out too. Wei Ying loves you guys, it would mean a lot to him and me.' - Lan Zhan

'I'll have to ask them, they've been busy lately.' - Yixing

'Thank you.' - Lan Zhan

'Of course' - Yixing

"Okay, that takes care of the music. Now we need to find a Dj and a Host."

He took out his computer and searched up some places that provide both Dj and Host service. He found on Yelp a place called "Dynasty Weddings", many of the reviews for this company were all positive. He saw that the office hours were 24/7 so he decided to give them a call.

"Hello, Dynasty Weddings; this is Chris."

"Hello, my name is Lan Wanji; I am thinking of using your company for Dj and Mc for my wedding."

"Thank you Mr. Lan for using us, may I ask when is this wedding."

"It's on August 5th, we have already decided on where we want the wedding."

��Okay, where is the venue?"

"At The Rockleigh Country Club."

"Wow, quite high class."

"Mmm."

"Do you also need help with planning the wedding?"

"We have thought about most the things that we want, we just haven't decided on floral decoration."

"Okay, I'll send you some links for floral shops."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome, you can call me again when you have reserved the venue. Also, make an appointment for a day where my company can go and see the place so we can understand what we are dealing with."

"Okay,"

Lan Zhan puts down the phone just as Wei Ying comes out of the shower.

"Who were you talking to?"

"A wedding planning company."

"Oh, what did you ask them?"

"About Mc and Dj."

"Oh, and what did they say?"

"Just to call them again when we have actually reserved the venue."

"Ah, okay. Let's make an appointment first, I saw on their website a form we need to fill out."

Wei Ying takes the computer from Lan Zhan and goes to the venue's website and goes to make an appointment. It was an easy process, just fill out name, time of appointment, number of people coming to the event.

After a couple of weeks, they went to the venue to go and take a look around, the place was a gorgeous as it seemed on the internet just without the decoration.

"Hello sir, you must be Mr. Lan and Mr. Wei."

"Yes."

"As you can see, our rooms are very big and can fit up to 100 people and from what I saw in your form, you only need about 60 seats."

"Yes."

"May I ask you gentleman if you have already decided on the decoration ideas."

"We have, we are thinking of making it a black, red, and white themed wedding."

"I see, do you have any pictures of what you want the rooms to look like."

Wei Ying took out his phone and showed the staff member what they had in mind for decoration.

"We like the pictures that you guys have on your website for the Grand Pavillion. We want to do something like that with just some color change."

"I see," says the staff while taking notes

"Since there will be about 50 people coming so we will need about 9 tables. About 50 seats in the ceremony room.

"Yes, is it possible for our wedding planning company to come and take a look at the venue."

"Of course, what day?"

"How about next week?"

"That should be fine."

"Thank you."

The next week came by, the company took a good look at the venue; and started to discuss how the arrangement of the decoration, table, and seats will be placed. Everything was coming together slowly.

*Time skip A Month Before The Wedding*

Lan Zhan was on his phone, it's been a couple of months since Lan Zhan asked Yixing if EXO can come out to their wedding. He still hasn't gotten a reply so he decided to message him again.

'So can your members come?' - Lan Zhan

'They said that they would love to come out, but I am worried about the security' - Yixing

'I will handle everything, just make sure that you guys won't be seen by many of your fans." - Lan Zhan

'You talk a lot when on message.' - Yixing

'Bye' - Lan Zhan

Everything was coming together so well, Lan Zhan couldn't wait to get married to Wei Ying. There were still many things to do, he still needed to write his vows, get his suit; although he does have many in his closet.

"Lan Zhan, what you doing?" asked Wei Ying giving Lan Zhan a back hug

"Writing my vows."

"Oh, guess I'll go write mines too."

"Mmm."

Wei Ying goes to write his vows in their bedroom.
