Engagement and Wedding Wishes

I met South African born Dani back in 1995 when we were both on the same ulpan (a school for the intensive study of Hebrew; the Hebrew word means studio or teaching, instruction) in Jerusalem. Roll on many years and Dani has moved onto pastures new in the US, whilst I am obviously still in Israel.
We have met up a few times over the years and social media of course means that we are able to keep in pretty regular contact. Recently I was excited to wake up to a Whatsapp from Dani telling me that she had got engaged to her partner of 7 years, Brendan. I know that she appreciates my handmade cards since she has ordered a few for her friends, so I decided to make the couple a card to mark their engagement.
I cut out their names and added some hearts and a banner marking the date of their engagement to the design. Of course, once I had finished, I realised that I had written the date using the British English format and not American English! Oh well, I guess I'm a Brit and that's the way I write the date.
I realise I forgot to share the card I made for my niece and her new husband when they got married last October. You may remember the trip I made to the UK and the lovely places we visited. The invitation we received for the wedding was in gold lettering, so I decided to create a design using white stock and a yellow (in place of gold) paper inlay. In fact, the colour scheme for the wedding turned out to be a gorgeous autumnal rust-brown. It was a beautiful wedding!

You must thank Zoe and Max for having wonderful names. Or thank their parents. Imagine your work if their names were Nebuchadnezer and Felicity-Delphinian
