Naturally, Turk was not happy that he would have to kowtow in front of so many people today. 1
He was already over fifty years old after all. This would really be a little too embarrassing for him.
However, at this time, the emcee said, "Groom, today is your big wedding day. Two families will become one family. You will not only gain a young and beautiful wife today, but you will also have parents who will love you and dote on you in the future. We Oskians have always had the most filial piety ever since ancient times. It is only right for us to kneel and kowtow in front of our parents. So, why are you still hesitating? Furthermore, our Oskian tradition for marriage is to kowtow in front of both parents and offer them a cup of tea." 9
Zell's wife immediately burst into tears after she heard this.
It was true that the two families would become one family. However, she really did not want her own daughter to start a family with this old man. s
Nevertheless, there was no way out of this now, and she could only watch this scene helplessly. 6
Turk was also placed in a very tough and awkward situation because of the emcee's words. Therefore, he could only kneel on the ground before he kowtowed to
Zell first as he called him Dad and then kowtowed to Zell's wife, calling her Mom. 5
The couple felt extremely depressed as they exchanged glances with one other.
At this time, the staff hurriedly moved two chairs onto the stage before asking Zell and his wife to sit side by side. After that, the emcee said to Turk, "The bride and groom are supposed to bow down and offer tea to both the bride and groom's parents. However, since the groom's parents are not here today, we will just ask the bride and groom to serve tea to the bride’s parents.” 1
The bride, who had already cried until her eyes were bloodshot, could only walk toward her parents reluctantly as she knelt beside Turk. 1
The staff immediately brought two cups of tea over as they handed it over to Turk. Turk picked up a teacup and blushed as he said to Zell, "Dad, have some tea..."
Zell really wanted to splash this cup of tea directly on Turk's face. So, he hesitated to take the cup of tea from the latter. 6
