Bridal Waltz Songs

Its all about the bride right?

This is a song that I adore. Its by a chinese singer - Jacky Cheung. Called 月半彎 (under a sickle moon)

Anyway I had the lyrics translated by some work friends. I've prettied up the words and here they are below.

月半彎 倚於深宵 晚風輕飄
A soft sickle moon glows in a sky of midnight velvet

一張俏臉泛著半點的醉意
The gentle breezes brushes your reflective face, our eyes met

夜已醉了 夜已醉倒了 讓它安靜到天曉
The night is full of hope and joy, the world is tipsy and in love,

我記得 與妳一起 我心高飛
P
recious memories. Just being with you is all I can think of

會急促跳動說真需要妳
When I you reach for me, my heart sings with joy and pride

讓我看妳 讓我細賞妳 陪妳身邊

Let me be with you, appreciate you. Stay forever by my side

*〔今晚〕讓我靠著妳的臂胳
So Tonight, Love, lean your head on my shoulder
流露我熱愛心底說話

As I whisper my deepest feelings from the bottom of my heart
孕育美麗溫馨愛意 造夢 都是妳

Sheltered in our beautiful love, let dreams come true, its all for you

夜已深 我心思思 妳的豐姿
The night is nearing an end, my soul is filled with happiness

只想妳便是我的天使

Stay in my arms tonight and forever, my angel

未見半秒 便控制不了
Do you wish for time to stand still - Just you and me.

難以心安 於今晚
I don’t want this night to end

* Repeat

I'm actually now starting to think the song is a bit mushy... Or maybe my lyrics are. Also as a mix language wedding, would this be too much? Stephs Parents wont understand. Which is why i thought of translating the lyrics and having them flashed up, or on the program.

Other options?

Steph will probably want something by Richie Hawtin. - I refuse to waltz to doof doof.

Groom Collage


I'm not sure about a red rose corsage... it looks tacky... and for that matter I've seen photos of red and white bouquets and they look so 80's!!! might have a complete colour change!

Stay tuned!

How to fold a Pocket Square

Hey! First Groom Entry!

Pocket Squares - A good How-to site.

I think 2 points is enough... 4 Points and that Mountian Fold looks like the Sydney Opera House.

I also learnt that you shouldn't have the tie and pocket square from the same bolt of fabric, they compliment Ooh! Obviously I'm still learning!

For Male Readers: I like this site. Esp What the hell is a wedding registry?

This weekend - Cloak Making

Im going to have cloaks made.

Ive got ideas about a cream cloak with light gold lining, white fur trim with hoods. Waist length for the girls and a full length with red lining for me.

I've got Kathleen's sewing machine, so I'll make one up for the doll first. See how that goes, before i upscale!

Exciting!!!

Short Cloaks

Okay I'm basically having a winter wedding.... The guys will have woollen suits, but the girls will be in little slips.

Time to get some warmth into the party

I'm going to source/make some short cloaks for the girls and a big long one for me.
