Wishing you all a happy new year!
Halel and Yishai were married in October. Shortly afterwards, Yishai's mum reached out to ask if I could create a special card for them based on their wedding photos. She also requested that I include the couple's dog, Polly, even though she wasn't actually at the wedding!

I decided to show the young couple under the
chuppah, the canopy used
in Jewish wedding ceremonies. It consists of a cloth or fabric covering, often
beautifully decorated, supported by four poles.
The chuppah symbolizes the couple's new home together - open on all sides to represent hospitality and the welcoming of family and friends. The couple stands under the chuppah during the wedding ceremony, and many key rituals take place there, such as the giving of the ring and the recitation of blessings.
I depicted Halel in her exact wedding dress and carefully recreated Yishai's
pale grey suit, making sure to include the bride's gold necklace and the
groom's silver earring. Polly is nestled between them.
Yishai's mum sent me the lovely picture of them all holding the card, second image from the top, writing, "They love it!"
