My customer and I were at university together. We recently found each other again on Facebook and, after seeing my work, he wrote to me to tell me that he and his wife were soon to be celebrating their silver wedding anniversary. He wondered if I could design an anniversary card based on their wedding photo.
My customer scanned a photo from their wedding day and sent it to me. I carefully copied his dark suit and all the little details on his wife's wedding dress. I then added a silver number 25 to mark the number of years they have been married.
My customer requested the line "There's a love that's divine and it's yours and it's mine" as the greeting on the front of the card. Apparently it comes from the song they opened the dancing to at their wedding. I was impressed! I haven't a clue what the first song was that we danced to at our wedding 🤣

The card was very well received. "Thanks for the fantastic card that arrived in the post this morning" my customer wrote to me then, on the day of their anniversary, he shared the card on Facebook. "A big shoutout to Lisa Isaacs at Handmade In Israel for a wonderful card joyfully received!" he wrote. His wife commented too: "Thank You! It's brilliant!"

ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely card and I'm impressed he remembered the song too. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I love the detail, especially the bouquet. How wonderful to connect with an old friend again, in such a lovely way. #mmbc
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that he remembered a line from their wedding song; my husband can hardly remember the date we got married never mind any of the details! You made such a lovely card.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to make such a lovely card for your uni friend. So good that you reconnected. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Happy work. That is so needed today! God bless you and God bless. Israel
ReplyDeleteThe Rabbi that married us was too frum to allow mixed dancing, so there was no First Dance. But we made it sofar to 51 years :) In any case, your bride would want to remember her wedding dress with most excitement. So young, so happy!
ReplyDeleteThat came out so cool!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Lisa!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to reconnect with old friends and to be a part of their special day through your art!
