What do you give for a wedding present
when there's no need for a toaster or a teapot?
Many couples these days are waiting to get married.
They're established in their homes and careers,
and have everything they need.
This was the dilemma I found myself in
when one of my dear relatives got married.
After bouncing ideas around in my mind,
I decided to draw a portrait of the two of them.
I know it was a risky gift, but we live on opposite
ends of the country.
They wouldn't feel obligated to hang
it if they didn't like it.
Of course, I really hoped they'd like it.
Here's the finished piece.
I wish I would've taken a picture
of the handmade card and envelope that
went with it. It made the whole package complete.
I did get a sweet thank you card in the mail recently.
They loved it, and it's hanging in their home.
Success!
