A Cuban Wedding

I just found this picture and thought I'd share it with you. It's a photograph of a painting a buddy did for me for our wedding invitations. I had asked him for a little something and he ended up painting a 3 foot by 3 foot canvas. I love it as our wedding was, of course, a Cuban theme. The artists name is Carlos A. Navarro.

We have a smaller version of the original, framed, that Carlos gave us to use instead of a guest book. Everyone attending the wedding signed it, and, well, it's pretty much one of our prized possessions.

It's fabulous! What a wonderful gift from a talented friend.

If I ever get married again and need to send out invitations, I'm doing something original. Not on the grand scale of a painting done just for "us"....but, maybe a photo that's special to the two of us.

Having a photo invitation is just so much more personal than those pre-made printed ones. Everyone loved ours. Some even framed them.
