Not just a wedding season influenced by the time of year...but a wedding season influenced by this time of our lives.
About a third of the people up at the lake are already retired. Sadly, there have been some who have passed away. Now we are seeing some new marriages...what fun! It is very social up there...lots of activities and social events. Some of our seniors have lost a partner and eventually gone on to remarry another camper!
This card is for my Wedding stash as methinks there well may be another wedding upcoming!
And a closer look at that flower...
Card recipe:
Card and Base - brought back from England last August

Love the way you've used the papers, and I'm really lovin' that flower treatment. How very decorative an enhancement & such texture. TFS & Hope you are feeling all tiptop by now. Hugs

Ooh, lovely use of snippets! That little crocheted flower is the best bit! =) Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog, too! ~Christy
What a sweet wedding card! That flower is fabulous! Did you crochet it yourself??!! I love everything about this card.
That said, after a lifetime of training and putting up with one man, I can't see turning around a starting with a new one!!! I do think it is wonderful when seniors so obviously still love and cherish one another and even get married all over again.
Hi Maureen,
a very beautiful and cute wedding card. Love your super design too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
