Yashita was wearing a pure white wedding gown, and coupled with her figure and temperament that far exceeded that of her peers, she instantly left the audience bewildered.
Although Sheldon had accompanied Yashita to select and try on the wedding gown, he was still mesmerized when he saw Yashita wearing the wedding gown on the wedding stage.
He then stepped in front of Yashita and Lord Harker under the emcee’s guidance and took Yashita from Lord Harker’s hands before leading her onto the stage.
The emcee then spoke up and said, “Next, we are going to invite a special guest to come forward. He was specially invited by the newlyweds to be the witness for their wedding today. Both the newlyweds once told me that they were able to get together thanks to this witness’s help, so let’s invite the witness, Mr. Charlie Wade, to come up on stage to give a speech!”
The guests applauded one after the other. Charlie, who had changed into a suit, slowly stood up and walked toward the stage.
Before going on stage, the staff of Shangri-La handed a microphone to Charlie. After Charlie had taken the microphone, he strode onto the stage and came next to the newlyweds.
Charlie held the microphone and paused for a moment before he said, “I’m honored, and I also feel terrified to be invited by two elders to such a meaningful wedding to be their witness. I did not prepare any long speech this time, but I just want to tell these two elders as well as all the guests what’s on my mind.”
Having said that, Charlie paused for two seconds and then continued, “My parents passed away very early, but fortunately, they gave me a perfect family atmosphere when I was young. They loved each other and were able to tolerate, understand, and support each other in life.”
“Their practical actions made me understand the truth that one would be able to overcome obstacles all the way and achieve success as long as you meet the right person and find the right direction in life.”
“This kind of overcoming obstacles has nothing to do with ability and wealth, nor does it have anything to do with strong enemies and dangers. This kind of overcoming obstacles is all about overcoming negativity and being content in life.”
“My father’s education has always deeply influenced my outlook on life and my values. It made me truly not take things for granted or be upset at my own sorrows so that I could still put on a warm and enthusiastic smile even when I was sleeping on the roof of a thirty-story construction site.”
Having said that, Charlie took a deep breath and said seriously, “I’m saying all this because I want to tell all the guests here today that my parents used practical actions to tell me that the greatest blessing in life is not how much wealth or achievements you have but to meet the right person at the right time and do the right thing with the right people. If everything is in line, you will be the happiest and most successful.”
“So, I sincerely hope that the two newlyweds will also be able to join hands to work together for a lifetime of happiness based on this foundation! Thank you, everyone!”
Charlie’s heartfelt speech moved everyone present.
As they applauded, they could not help but feel admiration and longing for the love between Charlie’s parents, who were like a couple from a fairytale.
