The invitation was sent all over and the people were still confused how the thing was going to be possible. But as informed, every decided segment of the public went to their designated banquet halls, auditorium halls, nearby parks and every public place notified them.
Their confusion eased up the moment their eyes were set on the arrangements made for them. None knew what was happening at the other location, but seeing they were at, it felt like the wedding was organized in that place itself.
While the middle class and the poor eyed the lavishly prepared seven course meal, the rich and wealthy were getting stunned at the expensive arrangement made all around.
"This is the wedding of the century. Never in the history one must have seen a wedding like this."
"Huh! Do we have to even remark that? This is the wedding of Feng Shufen, President and patriarch of Fengs and Shen Xue, the Crown Princess and future heir of the country."
"But never have I ever thought that we would get invited to such a great wedding. A few hours before, I was still speculative about the invitation. But luckily, I chose to believe in it and prepared for it."
No matter how believable everything was, people were still in disbelief. They were still waiting for the main show to unfold.
And soon it started. A small group of people walked on the stage and the arrangements were made. The lights of the hall were dimmed and the guests were requested to take their seats. The floor was soon covered with cloudy smoke. No one understood what was happening, the people up the stairs stayed there to adjust things for a small moment and then got down.
Before people could contemplate their action, the lights flickered on the stage and soon the figure of Feng Shufen appeared, standing there waiting for his bride. With his presence there, the decoration of the stage looked surreal. In the darkness of the dim lights, he looked like some Greek God of beauty and temptation.
Although there was darkness around, the decor and the chandelier decorated with exquisite red flowers and crystals were shining like beautiful red world in the galaxy of stars.
"It's President Feng. He finally here."
"Up until now, I have just heard of him. But his told charms are nowhere near to what I have heard of. He looks hundredfold more handsome in person."
"Mama, will I not get a man as handsome as him?" A young woman asked, turning to her mother. They looked from a high-class family.
The mother said nothing but her expressions conveyed all her disappointment. And seeing her mother's face like that the young woman understood it all well. Sighing, she turned back to look at the stage where Feng Shufen was standing, waiting for his bride. "Mama, this is not fair. Why do God is this partial? He has created man like him in limited edition. Why he is not in my destiny?"
"Because you don't have the destiny of the Crown Princess Xue. Anyway, we are lucky enough to see this wedding itself. Be grateful of that and don't think out of the limit." The mother said and then turned to look around as if she was searching for someone.
When the daughter looked her like that, she asked, "Whom are you searching for?"
The mother shook her head and said, "No one in specific. But I found something odd. Although the wedding is very grand, something looks amiss. Why is there no one from the Feng family present here?"
The young woman also looked around. Since they were one from a high-class family, they had seen a few members of Feng family, but none of them could be spotted here.
"Mama, do you think they are against this marriage?"
The mother shook her head, "That can't be. No one can dare to point a finger on this marriage. There is something else. I think …"
Before she could say anything, a kid from the corner shouted with surprise, "Mama, this is the 3D reflection I was talking about yesterday. You might feel the things are real but actually they are nothing but the mere reflection."
And it was then everyone understood what was actually happening. Although everything at every location was arranged and people were invited to the wedding, the main event was not actually happening there. It was just a show made to make everyone feel it real.
And people must say, if not for that child, they would have never come to know the difference. Everything was arranged so accordingly that it felt so real.
Soon the whispers about it filled the air, and people started talking about it. No doubt this whole scene screamed of money. From the venue, to the exquisite decorations and digital arrangements, everything must have required the money that none could afford. But then again, Fengs were not counted in the group of anybody. They have the capability to buy the whole country if they want. And that was what was proven today.
Not just one venue of the country, but every banquet hall, auditoriums and five-star hotels were arranged for the day. From the rich to the poor, everyone was invited and was provided with the same guest service. It was not something everyone could do. No doubt, the invitations were so confidently sent to everyone and it was specified that people should come if they believe in the names of the Fengs and the Royals.
"Mama, now do you understand why no one from the Feng family is here?" The young woman asked and her mother hummed before looking at the stage. Even though the person was not standing for real, still his aura was not lacking anyway. Rather the scenery was looking more surreal as if in the midst of the cloud the prince was waiting for his princess.
"Anyway, let's not dwell on that anymore rather enjoy the once in the century moment. In the next coming few decades, there won't be any such event coming."
