KATSU + LIZ

It’s not everyday you meet a couple as fun as these two love birds. A beautiful love story of how Melbourne meets Tokyo. Although from different worlds, the two met through the universal language of dance.

Big in the b-boy and hip-hop scene in Japan, Katsu and the boys went all out busting some moves throughout the wedding and especially on the dance floor. For their first dance, we were told there was no set choreography but there will be friends and family jumping in and out of the dance floor to the catchy and bouncy tune of ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. We knew this was going to be a fun night and a spectacle they did give us. The party started way before the dancing but this put the night up to a whole different level.

It was a rare and beautiful moment when Katsu’s aunty and uncle wished the newlyweds a happy and loving marriage by singing a classic Japanese love song as everyone whisked down wine and cocktails just before the reception doors opened. It was such a wonderful gift that we had to include it into the video.

Here’s the lyrics to the song:

‘Koko Ni Sachi Ari’ (Here is Happiness)

Arashi mo fukeba
Ame mo furu
Onna no michi yo
Naze kewashi
Kimi o tayori ni
Watashi wa ikiru
Koko ni sachi ari
Aoi sora

Here, oh here is happiness
When I can be close to you
In the warmth of your caress
I’m happy here with you
Please say you’ll never leave me
I know that it would break my heart
I want to be near you always
For here, oh here is happiness

Fun, laughs, love and dancing is a great mix for a wedding but Liz and Katsu’s was much more than that and it was absolutely evident in the way they brought a big piece of their love and culture into their wedding day. We wish the newlyweds an amazing journey together and we hope their hearts continue to dance as one.
