The newlyweds Jin Liwei and Iris Long entered the ballroom holding hands and with big smiles on their faces. They had changed out of their wedding ceremony outfits. This time, they wore matching red outfits that were modern takes on traditional Chinese clothing.
Jin Liwei was wearing a red changshan jacket with a golden dragon embroidered across the front. He paired it with dark green trousers that looked almost black when viewed from afar.
Beside him was Iris wearing a red, body-hugging qipao with a golden phoenix embroidered along the entire length of the dress. This time, her hair was arranged into an elegant chignon bun with an ornate flower ornament made out of gold and rubies.
Warm, enthusiastic applause welcomed them as they waved at everybody.
"They called me Mrs. Jin. I really am Mrs. Jin now," Iris said, hugging Jin Liwei.
He caressed her face, a doting smile on his lips. "Happy, Mrs. Jin?"
She beamed at him. "Yes. Very."
