Love is in the Air

A customer in Tel Aviv gave me a last minute order for a wedding card. She was travelling to Vancouver, Canada, for a wedding in just a few days time and wanted me to make a special card for the bride and groom. How could I resist?
The bride, my customer told me, is very into cooking, whilst the groom is a keen runner. I have shown the couple standing under the Chuppah, the canopy under which a Jewish couple stand during their wedding ceremony. It is decorated with flowers and, if you look carefully, a small flag of the city of Vancouver. The bride is wearing her wedding dress and has a chefs hat on and a wooden spoon in her hand. The groom is wearing a running vest with the number 10 on it. The couple got married on February 10th. Maybe the number on his vest reminded him to be there!
Whilst we're on the subject of weddings, a dear family friend got married just yesterday back in the UK. Sadly I couldn't be there but I heard that it was a lovely day and, with the wonders of Facebook, I got to see photos in almost real time. I popped this card, below, into the mail to let the couple know that I was thinking of them on their special day.
Finally, not a wedding but an anniversary card. There were no particular requirements for this card. I was simply asked for a pretty anniversary card. I hope this one, replete with birds, hearts and flowers, fitted the bill.
