Personalized Wedding Gifts, from Civ :)

Over the last few years, some of my closest friends have gotten married...
I thought that a special gift might be to do a sketch of the location where they had their ceremony or reception...

Here a couple of examples...

Colleen & Johnny, The Crystal Palace, Picton Ontario, 2002

Tahrana & Kevin, The Gazebo on Parliament Hill, Ottawa Ontario, 2001

Sorry for the poor photo and funky scan.... i hope you get the idea...

And I'll keep adding as my buddies get hitched! :D

    Thats a neat idea to do the sketches from were your friends got hitched.
    And that they're personalized and can't be bought at a store is even more special and meaningful. Those are some very good sketches by the way. Nice Job
    I'm wondering, about wondering...

    I'm in Ottawa and got married at the Museum of Nature. Any estimates on a cost for me?

    Great work!

    As some of you may know, I just got back from Hungary, where I was a bridesmaid in my friend Amy's wedding... :D so, in the usual fashion, here's the sketch that I did for them:

    Amy & Andris, Pannonia Golf Club, Budapest, Hungary, July 8, 2006.
