The sea as a matchmaker, "ships" witness happiness!
Uniforms as swords, guarding the vast sea borders
In red attire, writing the peaceful years
In the golden autumn, couples meet
A certain unit of the Southern Theater Command Navy held
“Love in the Deep Blue · ‘Ship’ Certifying Happiness” collective wedding
Under the witness of warships and mountains and seas
With the blessings of comrades and relatives
The newlyweds walked hand in hand into the hall of marriage
Military uniforms reflect loyalty, Xiuhua meets romance
As dawn breaks, the morning light is faint
The groom holds flowers, ready to set off
The bride prepares in front of the mirror, waiting for her beloved
At the wedding reception, the groom braves challenges for love
Rushing to a romantic appointment
The blue sea is clear, the coconut trees sway
In front of the photo spot
The groom in full military attire stands tall
The bride in a beautiful Xiuhua dress, gentle and charming
The two stand side by side, smiling at each other
The shutter clicks, capturing the moment of happiness
The wedding follows ancient rites, vows for deep feelings
The auspicious time has come, the ceremony begins
The newlyweds clasp their fingers
Crossing the magpie bridge, jumping over the fire basin, and stepping over the saddle
The magpie bridge symbolizes unity, the fire basin signifies prosperity, and the saddle prays for safety
Hand in hand, they open a new chapter in life
Standing facing each other, bowing in salute
Applause erupts, may their bond last forever
The bride, Li Shiyi, recounted their journey
From acquaintance to understanding, to love
As emotions ran deep, tears flowed
“I hope you come back safely”
Simple and sincere words
Expressing the deepest concern for her beloved
Warships witness a good match, iron bones also have tenderness
In uniform, with a mission on their shoulders
Separated by mountains and seas, only watching over
The love of soldiers
Rarely has day and night together, hard to have moonlit moments
With little time together, a single word of safety is worth a thousand
Though mountains and seas are far, a single “I’m waiting for you” is worth more than ten thousand words
As the ceremony concludes, the newlyweds throw the bouquet and distribute wedding candies
Spreading happiness to every officer and soldier present
Heartwarming to the soldiers, glory accompanies happiness
Since 2023
This unit has always cared for the grassroots, concerned for the soldiers
It has held four consecutive collective weddings
Participation and happiness among the soldiers have increased year by year
This is not only a warm response to the soldiers' expectations
But also a vivid practice of gathering strength through emotions and fighting for battle
Wishing the newlyweds
May they be united forever, and happiness last long
