Chapter 452 Chapter 452
It’s so funny, in order to attend the wedding, I didn’t even care about my political affiliation and party interests.
The Kenneth family made this wedding a national holiday, and Zhang Wenya was also amazed.
All the wedding guests called to confirm on Christmas Eve, and I heard that no one said they could not attend. The Kenneth family invited more than a thousand people, including their own relatives and some members of the two houses of Congress; siblings Caroline and John invited
Two hundred people; Zhang Wenya invited two hundred people, including his Chinese relatives; there were more than five hundred strangers; a total of two thousand people.
There are another four hundred blank invitations with no names yet to be filled in.
The wedding invitation was very "royal" in design, with gold foil on a white background, and printed with the family crest of the Kenneth family and Zhang Wenya's dragon and phoenix "family crest". The family crest of the Kenneth family came from Ireland, and Zhang Wenya's family crest came from...
A coat of arms in the ancestral hall of my hometown, which is said to be the dragon pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has been redesigned.
Open the invitation, it is bilingual in Chinese and English, with the Chinese and English names of the bride and groom printed on it. There are gold-gilded rose patterns printed on the edges of the invitation both inside and outside. If you look closely, there are decorative patterns of the English names of the bride and groom on the roses.
Facts have proved that as long as the money is spent properly, it can be as perfect as possible.
There is a nationwide corporate war surrounding weddings. Countless brands are rushing to contribute to weddings. Each one is busy asking for favors and hoping to become a wedding supplier. This is the "Wedding of the Century" that has never been seen in the United States. Except for advertising,
In addition to the effect, it will also become "history".
In addition to companies, the competition for the four hundred blank invitations is also extremely fierce.
Starting from February 2000, invitations have been sent out one after another. The invitations are packed in specially customized envelopes and delivered to each guest by courier. The envelopes also contain bracelets with chips. Guests attending the wedding must wear bracelets.
When signing in, a bracelet corresponds to a guest. The bracelet is attached with a number and looks very high-tech.
St. Patrick's Cathedral has 2,400 seats. It is not difficult to fill the church. Countless people squeezed their heads to get an invitation. There are countless people who come to get close to the unmarried couple. Little John
Kenneth seemed like a big brother who took the lead. At first, he accepted almost everyone who asked for wedding invitations. Without Caroline paying attention, he had already sent out dozens of wedding invitations.
The elder sister quickly stopped her younger brother's inappropriate behavior and did not allow him to spread the invitations any more.
There were quite a few people who came to get close to Zhang Wenya. Almost every neighbor in the Upper East Side wanted to get acquainted with the two of them, but she couldn't help it.
"Didn't you hear that the natives of the Upper East Side pay attention to the distinction between 'old money' and 'nouveau riche'? If your ancestors didn't come to North America on the Mayflower, they can't be considered 'old money.'" She humbly asked her fiancé for advice.
"Who did you listen to?"
"That's what the newspapers say."
Kenneth lowered his head and smiled.
Why are you laughing?
“Is your family considered ‘old money’?”
"Maybe not." He shrugged, "Who cares? There are not many rich people in the United States who are descendants of the Mayflower."
"Charlie said that now we only care about family wealth."
"almost."
Americans really care about money. But the Ken family is special because they have a president and a pair of brothers who were assassinated. This is a unique tragic family. In comparison, who can remember the real rich family?
The Rockefeller family produced a vice president?
The American media calls the Ken family a "political powerhouse", but the current highest administrative level of the Ken family is the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, and the Senate is a senator. Speaking of which... it cannot be considered a political powerhouse. There are fathers, sons, and daughters in both parties.
The brothers are in politics, but in terms of fame, no one can compare with the Ken family; especially after siblings Caroline and John entered politics one after another, the siblings became the most famous members of the Capitol. Not even their uncle Ted could compare with them.
Comparing siblings.
"How much money do you have now?"
Um?
"Why do you suddenly ask me how much money I have? Don't you know very well what assets I have?"
What did you say!
"Can you be considered rich now?"
"Can it be calculated?" He said uncertainly: "But they are all in funds, and many of them are real estate. What?
"
"Nothing, just ask."
He had already obediently given her all his income. Every year he received living expenses from two funds, which was about 1.2 million US dollars a year. The annual salary of the congressman was not included. His expenses were not small.
Food should be delicious, play should be high-end, clothes should be customized, at least high-end ready-made clothes; and a high-end bicycle should be bought almost every year.
Originally, he had saved money for several years to buy a private jet. Later, the money was used to buy an engagement ring. He bought a total of six engagement rings. After the engagement, he gave all four of his previous rings to her.
Now lying in the safe, she usually only wears the ruby love crown ring.
Needless to say, the love crown ring was photographed by the paparazzi the next day after wearing it, so the shape of this love crown ring has now become a hot item in major, medium and small jewelry stores.
After having that terrifying yet real dream in July last year, he never mentioned buying a private jet or learning to fly. He just didn't have time to take flying lessons. It seemed that he was really scared.
Old Joe's grandfather's eldest son, Little Joe, was a World War II pilot who died in a dangerous combat flight, leaving no trace of his body; his second aunt Catherine also died in a plane crash; and the unlucky son of a Greek shipping king, Kenneth Jr.'s stepbrother,
He died in a flight accident at the age of only twenty-four.
There is also Uncle Ted. The year after President Kenneth was assassinated, Ted flew back to Boston with a congressman and his wife. The plane crashed and Ted was seriously injured. He lay in bed for more than half a year before recovering.
This family's flight accident rate is frighteningly high.
During Jackie's lifetime, American scientists discovered the "adventure gene" and believed that the Kenneth family carried this "adventure gene". This is wrong! This is related to being too rich. When you don't have to move bricks to support yourself,
There is a lot of money to spend on better "playing". Ordinary games can no longer attract you. Only exciting adventures can make you "pursue", and only extremely dangerous sports and games will keep you entertained.
But then again, scientists also believe that it is because of their "risk-taking genes" that these people can achieve economic success. They make "big bets" with their money and lives. If they win the bet, they will become rich. If they lose the bet, they will become rich.
People whose names no one else knows.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it.
In short, for now, Kenneth is content with playing high-end bicycles. The most exciting sport is paragliding. He has been paragliding for more than ten years. He started playing paragliding when he was in college. As a result, both ankles of his feet were broken or broken.
He had a broken bone. Zhang Wenya was unwilling to experience the fun of paragliding with him. He felt very regretful.
The neighbors on the Upper East Side are not surprising. If you don't know each other, you don't know them. They rarely participate in neighborhood social activities. Mainly because they don't live in New York all the time. They only came back for two days on the weekend. The neighbors really don't have the time or opportunity to get to know them.
Maya, Brooke, and Natasha all suffered from various overtures and advances from their neighbors on the Upper East Side. Those Manhattan wives who usually had eyes on top of their heads didn't see Zhang Wenya, so they set their sights on Maya and her assistants.
Her cleaning maid has other cleaning maids to get close to her.
The main purpose is to ask His Majesty what food he likes to eat, what brand of wine he drinks, what he usually does, what kind of movies he watches, and what books he reads. His Majesty is a best-selling author, so his cultural level must be very high.
Zhang Wenya often receives gifts from the lovely wives of the Upper East Side. She knows that there are "wives groups" in Manhattan, which are divided into areas. All the lovely wives of the Upper East Side want to know her, but she is not a "loving wife" and does not love her.
I discuss fashion with the ladies all day long. I don’t have any children yet. I have no common language or interests with the wives. I have never participated in their little activities, but this group of wives is very anxious!
Maya said that the lovely wives spend their daily lives socializing. Fashion is a topic, as is parenting. Zhang Wenya neither understands fashion nor has children. The lovely wives are racking their brains and don’t know how to get what they want, so now they all
I am reading several books published by Zhang Wenya and want to know more about her.
Brooke and Natasha had few opportunities to meet the spoiled wives. They always followed Zhang Wenya and did not have much time to return to New York. Brooke received the NSA's two million US dollar settlement and immediately opened a new hotel in Hell's Kitchen District.
I bought an apartment in a well-decorated apartment building and rented one of the bedrooms to Natasha. They are now roommates. The employer has few things to do, the salary is high, and they respect them very much. They are happy.
Incomparable.
There were only a lot more people trying to get close to Kenneth. Countless people wanted to get to know little Kenneth. Invitations to the banquet flew like snow to the villa on Sixty-third Street. His campaign office had already
He has received many "hard money" donations. Pennsylvania voters began to donate to him since he announced his candidacy for Pennsylvania's Senate seat last year. There is a limit on hard money donations. One person cannot exceed a thousand dollars at most, which is almost
Ninety percent of people donated $1,000.
Corporate donations are made to his political action committee. The minimum is US$5,000. The largest number of donors is between US$10,000 and US$100,000. If you donate US$50,000, you can meet and shake hands and take photos with Congressman Kenneth Jr., and US$80,000 can
Have lunch with Congressman Kenneth Jr. People who can donate 80,000 yuan are not short of money, so many big donors fly directly to Washington to have lunch with him, implicitly or implicitly asking if they can attend the wedding?
Four hundred invitations are not a lot, but if it is a couple, there are only two hundred couples. Which family's wife doesn't want to attend the royal wedding? This is a queue! The places are limited, first come, first served!
Just donating money is not enough, Aunt Ethel also needs to check whether the other party is "qualified", that is, it is not good if it is too low, it is not good if he started with pornography, gambling, or drugs, and it is not good if he is involved in gangs. At least the other party's money is on the surface.
