Publius Posted January 29, 2017 at 01:13 AM Report Posted January 29, 2017 at 01:13 AM Your transcription is very accurate. With punctuation added: 恭賀令郎大婚之慶! 嘗思君子之道、夫婦造端,聖人作易、乾坤首定,誠以婚姻乃生人之始、王化之原者也。 茲令郎垂清會兄同牢穀旦、合巹佳期,公子凌雲藻思、女士咏雪奇姿,帶結同心、此日先歌燕爾,灼開並蒂、異日定卜螽斯焉。 ——慶德公司等拜贈 Quote

Publius Posted January 30, 2017 at 02:33 PM Report Posted January 30, 2017 at 02:33 PM You're welcome. 敬頌紀綱復振 今夫維持於未廢之先、匡救乎將覆之際者,斯其望有獨隆、而其功乃更大焉。 如慶德會者,晚近以來,條規已紊,欲商謀而見諉、欲資用而莫支。 幸惟令郎【垂清賢會兄】目擊心傷,持顛扶危,依然重興。 宜其謳歌弗替歟。 慶德公司等拜贈 I may be wrong, cuz I'm not particularly good at Classical Chinese, but I suspect 垂清賢會兄 is an elaborate form of honorifics and the son's name is simply 清會.

calibre2001 Posted January 30, 2017 at 02:50 PM Author Report Posted January 30, 2017 at 02:50 PM The son's name is 垂清. Quote
Publius Posted January 30, 2017 at 03:12 PM Report Posted January 30, 2017 at 03:12 PM I see. So in the first picture he is called 垂清會兄, in the second 垂清賢會兄, 會兄 must be “同會之兄長”之意。 Quote
