Once, I was also a person who thought nothing was more practical and meaningful than a red envelope. Later, in the face of more and more wedding invitations, I began to seriously think about, besides red envelopes, what other wedding gifts can express my mind, which is meaningful, decent and economical?
I happened to see a friend forwarding a Weibo about the marriage certificate of the Republic of China, summing up all the beautiful vows on those marriage certificates during the Republic of China. It suddenly occurred to me that as a person who has practiced calligraphy for more than ten years, I can also try to write down these vows in calligraphy and make a new marriage certificate for my sisters who are about to get married.
I think this gift is very meaningful. First of all, the oath on the marriage certificate in the Republic of China was only used to send blessings to married friends.
Secondly, the name of the bride and groom and the wedding date are added after the word "this certificate" in each wedding vows, which looks very solemn and has a unique feeling.
Thirdly, this gift is different from other daily necessities. It can be preserved for a long time, kept at home or hung on the wall for decoration.
Finally, although I am not a famous calligrapher, I can express my thoughts well because I wrote them myself. Several close friends who received this gift from me liked it very much. Some friends only took a photo of my wedding book and sent it to their circle of friends when they received the wedding gift.
Moreover, the production is also very simple. You can get many versions of the wedding vows by searching for "Republic of China wedding vows" on the Internet. You can choose your favorite content to practice before writing. Personally, I prefer the following two versions, because there are not many words, which are very suitable for writing:
The two surnames are married, contracted under one roof, and married forever, matching each other. Look at today's peach blossom burning, Yi Shi IKEA; When he was young, he was full of fruits and vegetables. With the promise of Whitehead, I am willing to write a letter to Hong, so that the alliance of Hongye can be well documented. This certificate.
As soon as the ceremony began, the marriage became better. Poetry sings Guanluo, elegant songs Linzhi. In the fifth century, Ruiye was prosperous, and it was auspicious to open the second south. With one heart and one mind, IKEA Yi Shi. Respect each other as guests, and always have a harmonious relationship. Sincere mutual assistance, * * * vows of eternal love. This certificate.
Remember to add the couple's name (usually the groom's name is written in front) and the wedding date at the end of this certificate. It is suggested that the date be written in the form of heavenly stems and earthly branches, which looks more quaint and elegant and conforms to the norms of the Republic of China.
