(Today is my wedding with my wife. The following is my wedding vow.)
Baby, by the time I began saying these words, this vow of mine had already been scheduled for publication in my novel.
So the words that follow aren't meant only for you and everyone here today to hear. All my readers will be able to see them too.
Actually, I'd hesitated over whether I should do this. Would it seem too showy?
But then I thought that every profession had its own kind of romance.
As a writer, I could record the words I said to my wife at our wedding, let thousands, tens of thousands, or perhaps even more people see them, and receive even more blessings.
This is the romance I can give you.
An author's copyright lasts for a lifetime. So even decades from now, when our hair has turned white and many people have forgotten today's wedding and the words I said to you,
the books I've written will still be there. This vow will still be there too, without a single word changed.
This is the romance I can give you.
Just as I told you when I proposed, although the works I've written add up to nearly ten million words, I'm not very good at saying sweet things.
My readers all know that what I'm worst at is writing romance.
On an occasion like this, I should say something romantic and use ornate language to describe the love between us.
I thought about it for a long time, and in the end, I thought of a segment from Talk Show and Their Friends that we watched together.
There was a contest where the host asked Zhao Xiaohui what the most romantic thing she and her boyfriend had ever done was.
