And almost by accident it's finished already...

Now to find a frame for it and get it sent off! I've also done the bells separately to put on a card to go along with it.

And I've done a matching card (the little rings are from a set of card toppers I bought at John Lewis a while ago)
Image

I haven't a clue what to write in the card, I've been trying to write out ideas but I've alternated between platitudes (along the lines of "so happy for you, shame about the circumstances" which just sounds far too flippant to me) and profanities because I'm so frustrated with myself, so I'm leaving that until tomorrow.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Both are very lovey and I'm sure will be well received. A thought as to what you may put in the card, something along the lines of--My good wishes to a lovely couple on their special day :wub:

It looks perfect - very classic and the message is well chosen. Perhaps for the card, something simple along the lines of "May you enjoy all your days together."?

This has turned out brilliant!!!!!!!!

So nice and the card should be very simple I think you don't want to stress the difficults really, just some thing about there love.

"Joyous wishes to the happy couple"

The sampler is simple and very elegant and the card is gorgeous. Love the rings on it too, just right. You have done really well.

I agree with Rose, just something really simple on the card will set it off just right.

I agree with rose this is a marriage....platitudes should be seperate give them the best wishes etc that you would give anyone that was just married don't think about the circumstances even thought they are bumping up the date of the marriage due to illness...they got married only because of love..correct?

I put something together in the end stressing how wonderful things are now, giving my condolences for the circumstances, then put all my contact details on the back. I drafted it out about 5 times first!
