Well, I just had to take the time after all to create a new illustration for "wedding" this week. Just couldn't get this phrase out of my head - plus, I wanted to do something way-girly with soft colors. I had also read a number of great wedding/marriage quotes that I wanted to share - so here goes - Enjoy!
_______________
"Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without." ~Dr. James C. Dobson
_______________
"Love is a flower which turns into fruit at marriage." ~Finnish Proverb
_______________
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." ~Mignon McLaughlin
_______________
"Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate." ~Barnett R. Brickner
_______________
"What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow." ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
_______________
"A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short." ~Andre Maurois
_______________
And just for grins...
______________
"A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished." ~Zsa Zsa Gabor
_______________
"Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity." ~Author Unknown

Wow this is *gorgeous* Becky!
ReplyDeleteLove how the background of each one has a different design. The layout and colors are great.
Love-love-love your art! Laughing at some of the quotes...Marriage means commitment, of course, so does insanity. Commical and yes, it does require commitment and a lot of give and take.

I think this is my favorite wedding illustration this week. This is lovely. I'd love to get a card that looked like this.

Beautiful colors... not necessarily 'girly'. Great drawings... icons of the wedding day.
