birds and leaves
If you were at the wedding, you might remember the place cards. They were stamped birds on green card stock. I tried to make it so that women got one stamp and the men another stamp. Linda's best friend and her husband have been taking water color classes and after the wedding, Gene painted his own rendition of the birds from his and Gayle's seating cards. He gave them to me the Friday before we left for England. For six weeks I have looked around town for the perfect frames to house these precious watercolors and Sunday I found them! We happed upon The Pier (which is Pier One). I'm not sure why neither Clark Kent nor I have ever noticed it, for it is right in town centre. I found the perfect frames with leaves for the birds to live in. How special these are to me - they will forever be the perfect reminder of our wedding with the combination of our bird and leaf theme. And, they were painted especially for us by such a dear friend.
Here are Gayle and Gene at the reception.
We saved the second row for the VIPs. Gayle and Gene were right the first two seats.
