The wedding is set for my birthday, August 16th on the Gregorian calendar, the 30th day of the sixth lunar month—an auspicious day for weddings, for showering guests with sweets, and for a live stream across all platforms.
The livestream title was Zhou Xuchi's idea—
[Today She Marries Me]
Simple and direct, it shot to the top of the trending list in just ten minutes.

The venue was a sunflower field on the city's outskirts, in full bloom. Six hundred thousand flower heads turned toward the sun, like six hundred thousand guests.
A white carpet stretched straight from the field's center to a circular archway draped in fairy lights. Though the effect wasn't visible in daylight, comments flooded the screen:
[Can't wait for the lights! Budget burning through!]
[My brother is rich enough, but this is just absurdly lavish]
[Rumor has it the bride's entrance will feature drones scattering petals?]
—Yep, a 24-drone formation. Petals spelled out a giant "L&X," later turned into memes by netizens: Crying over someone else's love again today.

The dressing room was a temporary transparent glass structure with 360° visibility. As the live stream camera zoomed in, the screen flooded with comments like "My wife!"
Instead of a traditional gown, I wore a sunflower-embroidered mermaid dress custom-made by Zhou Xu from a Parisian atelier. Its 3-meter train billowed like midsummer draped over me with every step.
The veil was even longer—5 meters—held by twelve flower girls and boys—all mixed-race "little rascals" from the Zhou and Xia families, whose collective cuteness raised the village's average looks.
After changing, I was so nervous my hands shook while drinking. My bestie Ameng held up her phone to show me the comments:
[Bride and groom, hurry out! Netizens have insulin ready!]
[First time watching a live wedding stream where I'm not rushing them—just be gentle with the sweetness!]
I burst out laughing, and half my nerves vanished.

The ceremony began at 5:18 PM. The sun's angle was perfect—not too harsh—and the flower field seemed bathed in a soft golden filter.
The background music was a piano piece composed by Zhou Xu himself. As the melody played, the comment stream cleared instantly, then exploded:
[Who gets it?! The groom wrote a song for the bride!]
[The very first line is "The day she ran toward me, even the wind tasted sweet"]
I stepped onto the beat as drones ascended, petals rained down, and the camera pulled back—
At the end of the white carpet, Zhou Xu stood in a black suit, a sunflower pinned to his lapel. Sunlight fell on his lashes, as if gilding them with a golden edge.
He looked up at me, the corners of his eyes reddened, yet a smile played at his lips.
My steady heartbeat instantly went haywire.

The red carpet stretched 30 meters. I lifted my train as he walked toward me—
This single step transformed us from childhood sweethearts into lawful husband and wife.
When I came to a stop, he held out his hand, palm upward, his fingertips trembling slightly:
"Fiancée, thirty seconds left. Still running away?"
I placed my hand in his: "Running into your arms—does that count as running away?"
With a low chuckle, he led me up the aisle.

For our vows, we skipped the traditional church version and used letters from our time capsule instead.
—He read mine, I read his.
When I reached the line, "At eighteen, I decided to cling to him for life," his eyes reddened as he interrupted, "You succeeded."
The audience roared with laughter, and a wave of comments flooded the screen: [Oh my god, I'm dying, I'm alive!]
Before exchanging rings, the officiant (played by Zhou Xu's best friend) teased dramatically: "Where are the rings hidden?"
The camera cut to the groomsmen, who lifted their suits—
Uniform sunflower boutonnieres, each with a miniature safe embedded in the center, requiring fingerprint and facial recognition to unlock.
[Tech-savvy husband spoiling his wife—impressive!]
[My brother turned the wedding into an escape room]
Upon successful recognition, the rings rose—
The men's band now bears the engraving [She said yes], while the women's reads [He said forever].
As we exchanged rings, his fingertip brushed the sunflower pattern on my ring finger. He murmured, "Legal interest—collected for a lifetime."
I laughed through tears: "Willingly, with compound interest."

During the witnessing ceremony, both sets of parents stepped forward simultaneously. Instead of marriage certificates, they presented freshly printed household registration books—
A sunflower sticker adorned the cover, and the pages had already turned to our entry: Marital Status: Married.
Turns out we'd signed the papers earlier that morning; the ceremony was purely for the guests and online viewers to enjoy the sweetness.
The live chat erupted again:
[For others, weddings are the finish line. For us, it's the starting point + aftercare]
[Hey, don't forget the live-streamed honeymoon suite (not that kind)]
8
As the ceremony concluded and the sun set, the light strips illuminated simultaneously, transforming the flower field into a sea of stars.
Drones took flight once more, forming giant letters: [MARRY ME×2]
Then shifted to: [THANKS FOR COMING]
The camera pans across the guests, all reduced to tears.
I tiptoed to kiss Zhou Xu. He leaned down to return the kiss, his tongue lapping away my tears, his breath scorching.
The screen flooded with comments in seconds:
[Is this something I can actually watch for free?]
[The official version is killing fan fiction]
[I declare: Insulin is sold out across the entire internet tonight!]

The dinner was buffet-style with camping, a bonfire encircled by tiny lights like a necklace adorning the night sky.
The live stream camera stayed on, switching to night vision mode as viewers danced along online.
For our first dance, we chose "Lemon Tree"—
our sixth-grade class song, sung off-key.
As the music played, we deliberately stomped off-beat, laughing so hard we hung onto each other's shoulders.
Bombardment of comments:
[Help! Even their off-key singing is perfectly in sync]
[This isn't a wedding, it's a limited-edition youth reunion]

Cake-cutting segment: a five-tier sunflower cream cake topped with a miniature lighthouse.
I took the knife, slipped, and flicked a dollop of cream onto Zhou Xu's face.
He squinted, then in the next second, dabbed the cream with his fingertip, placed it on my nose, and leaned down to kiss it off.
Bombardment:
[Ahhhhh, a cream kiss!]
[Official sweet moments are the deadliest]
[Screenshot saved, ready to pass down to three generations]
11
Before the crowd dispersed, the live stream camera panned to the far end of the flower field—
A transparent tent erected in advance, carpeted in white, with a sky full of shooting stars projected onto its ceiling.
We sat side by side at the entrance, bidding farewell to our viewers:
Zhou Xu: "Thank you for bearing witness."
Me: "Tonight's sweetness ends here."
Viewers:
[No way! I want to see the wedding night (not that kind)!]
[Don't cut it off, official stream! I'll pay the electricity bill!]
Zhou Xu smiled meaningfully, raised his hand, and the camera slowly pulled back—
The tent curtain fell, leaving only a sea of flowers and starlit sky. The bullet comments lingered reluctantly:
[Let's wrap it up—going any further means paying fees]
[Goodnight, Sunflower Couple]
[I'll go fetch the civil affairs bureau—the lock's already broken and the key tossed away]
12
Inside the tent, a nightlight glowed dimly.
We shed our heavy formal wear, down to T-shirts and shorts.
I lay on his chest, counting his heartbeats: "The livestream's over. Too bad."
"Not a pity," he said, raising his hand with the GoPro. "We've got the private version."
My eyes widened. "You had another camera hidden?"
"Keeping it as a memento," he murmured softly, his fingertip brushing my lips. "Just for us to watch."
I lunged to grab it, but he rolled onto his back, pinning me against his chest. His voice was husky: "Xia Li, happy newlywed life."
My nose stung with emotion. I leaned in and kissed him. "Zhou Xu, may the rest of our lives be filled with happiness."
Lips met, tongues entwined. The nightlight flickered twice before fading silently.
Above the sea of flowers, the Milky Way flowed. The tent swayed gently, like a silhouette left behind for the world.
