Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Tess, I think this idea is sad but beautiful. I don't think it is selfish of you to want to do this at all. I'm all for acknowledging significant people and events rather than acting as if they never lived or happened. Good luck, and I'll be thinking of you Saturday. I hope your remembrance of Vince and your marriage is accepted with the spirit in which it is given.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Thank you dear . The support I get here is priceless. I just got back from the copier...the anniversary 'letters' turned out so beautifully! If I had a scanner, I'd show you. All the printing is in red, and I drew holly leaves in green & holly berries in red at each corner. Below the poem is a wedding picture...I'm in my white lace gown & veil, Vince in his Navy Blues, the bridal attendants & flower girl all in red velvet gowns with white lace, and the groomsmen in dark navy suits. The church was decorated with red pointetias & lots of greenery, and above us at the top of the alter is a beautiful gold crucifix. The picture is so old - it is an original and I was afraid it would not show well, but it came out crisp & clear! I drew some green scrollwork around the borders of the picture, and at the bottom I wrote in red... " All My Love...'my name'. " Looking at it fills me with joy. I hope those I love will be able to see the joy as well. Emmy thinks they are just beautiful! All My Love & Tons of Hugs... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
