Wu Qihua and Shi Yangzi, a girl from Changchun, got married in Changchun on the evening of the 8th, and specially invited some friends such as Zeng Zhiwei and Zhang Jiahui to help. The wedding ended briefly within two hours, and the couple left Changchun and returned to Beijing on the 10th.
According to Northeast customs, the first wedding is usually held in the morning. Although Wu Qihua and Shi Yangzi have not been married before, their wedding banquet was held in the afternoon. Afraid that everyone would misunderstand, Shi Yangzi’s aunt hurriedly explained that because Wu Qihua is from Hong Kong, the wedding banquet in Hong Kong is at night, so the two sides are compromise, so the wedding banquet is arranged in the afternoon. Although the wedding banquet officially started at 17:00, Wu Qihua rushed to the bride Shi Yangzi’s house with seven cars at 14:00. Compared with the long queues of many wedding cars, Wu Qihua’s welcome team was really low-key.
Although the bride and groom had been preparing for the wedding for two years, the scene was still almost awkward, but fortunately it did not affect the festive atmosphere of the wedding. The auditorium was a Western arrangement, but the whole wedding still continued the way Northeast people got married. The first step was for both parties to tell the love process. Because Wu Qihua’s Mandarin is not particularly standard, this part is very simple. Wu Qihua just said: "I promised Shi Yangzi to marry her two years ago, and now I finally fulfilled this promise."
But when the second step was to pour the champagne tower and order the cake fireworks, what the newlyweds didn’t expect was that the champagne was obviously underprepared, and only three layers were poured into the 11-story champagne tower. Shi Yangzi looked at the unfilled champagne tower and exchanged a helpless expression with Wu Qihua.
The third step was to invite both parents to the stage, but due to the difference between the north and the south, the parents only stood on stage for a group photo, neither kneeling, bowing, nor pouring tea and ended in a hurry. When Wu Qihua and Shi Yangzi were drinking a glass of wine, the whole scene boiled up. Wu Qihua bent his legs slightly to accommodate his wife’s height, and was shaken by the spotlight until he couldn’t open his eyes.
"Hong Kong is a long way away and everyone is very busy, so not many people came," Mr. Wu explained when he got married in Changchun. "I came uninvited. Wu Qihua didn’t notify me because his phone number changed, but I think our friend for so many years, he couldn’t not be there when he got married." (Morning News)
Live coquettish like a boy
The wedding reception was held in the most upscale five-star hotel in Changchun, and the scene was grand but not luxurious. There were only 26 tables in total. The day was entirely Western-style wedding. Although the media asked the two to kiss, which was rejected by the shy Shi Yangzi, during the glass of wine, Wu Qihua couldn’t help but steal a kiss from Shi Yangzi, and the happiness and sweetness were written all over their faces.
At that time, in order to accommodate his wife’s height, Wu Qihua specially squatted down, quite thinking of Shi Yangzi. During this time, Wu Qihua pouted and pointed at his throat as if no one was around, and acted coquettishly to his wife on the stage, saying that his throat was too sore, showing his big boy side.
Expected husband and wife to film together
Wu Qihua, who was born in 1964, is 43 years old, while Shi Yangzi has just turned 22, a full 21 years younger than Wu Qihua. The huge age difference, coupled with Wu Qihua’s status as an artist and negative news such as having hired prostitutes, once made people not optimistic about this relationship. Shi Yangzi also admitted, "My parents were indeed a little worried at first, but later they saw that our relationship was stable, so they decided to let us get married." "There is indeed a gap in our age, but we still look very good." Wu Qihua was obviously prepared for the issue of age.
Wu Qihua is more happy to say that in the future, he will work harder in acting, and if possible, he will partner with his wife in film and television dramas.
No plans to have children
The most interesting thing is that the two people exchange gifts. I thought that Wu Qihua’s gift to his new wife would be extraordinary, but on the contrary, Wu Qihua gave the bride an apron. He also said that he cooks and does laundry at home, and occasionally his wife also does it, so he gave her an apron to keep her clothes dirty when cooking. Shi Yangzi’s gift to Wu Qihua is also much beyond everyone’s imagination – a "old man’s music". The reason is that my husband works too hard, and I hope he can relax. Shi Yangzi scratched Wu Qihua’s back with "old man’s music" on the spot, which made everyone laugh.
The former nurse killer has now become a good man at home. Wu Qihua revealed that he now cooks for his wife every day, while Shi Yangzi is responsible for washing his clothes. It is reported that Shi Yangzi will fade out of the entertainment industry after marriage, but Shi Yangzi also made it clear, "I have no plans to have children at present!"
Friends in the circle are present to congratulate
Zeng Zhiwei, Zhang Jiahui, Ruan Zhaoxiang and others specially came from Hong Kong to wish their friend Wu Qihua’s new marriage. Regarding the number of red envelopes, Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said, "The red envelope is a thought, and you can say as much as you want!" When asked how to handle Bao’s marriage in the future, Zeng Zhiwei said, "As long as she can afford it, as long as I can afford it."
"I came uninvited," Mr. Cheung said. "I heard that he was in Changchun, and I came. We’ve been friends for so many years, and I can’t be absent when he gets married." Mr. Cheung went on to explain that "because my mobile phone number in Hong Kong was changed, Wu Qihua didn’t notify me." Because Wu Qihua had a failed marriage, Zhang Jiahui "hopes this is Qi Hua’s last marriage."
Jin Qiaoqiao, who has been in a relationship with Wu Qihua for two years and happened to be filming in Changchun, said of her ex-boyfriend’s wedding reception in Changchun: "It is impossible to send a simple blessing to the wedding reception. If I were the bride, I would not want my husband’s ex-girlfriend to disturb me."
News link: Love at first sight when filming a TV series
After Wu Qihua divorced his Thai ex-wife in 1997, he dated Huang Wenying, the owner of Taiwan’s Qiangku Karaoke, and mainland actresses Jin Qiaoqiao and Luo Yongxian.
Wu Qihua and Shi Yangzi met in 2004 while filming the TV series "The Legend of the Heroic Doctor". At that time, Shi Yangzi was only a student of the Emperor Performing Arts School in North China. The two fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love. On November 4 last year, Wu Qihua knelt on one knee at the recording site of the "Dance Forest Conference" program, holding a cartoon flower to ask Shi Yangzi to propose. After three years of dating, the two registered their marriage in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, and the wedding was specially held in Changchun, the hometown of his wife Shi Yangzi.
