Recently, I was commissioned to create this keepsake box as a wedding present from the groom's siblings.  The church where the couple was married is very significant to the bride as her family had been involved with the building of the church.  There was a old stained glass window with a memorial inscription painted on it as a dedication to her relatives.  I used that stained glass window for inspiration to create this box, painting the bride and groom's wedding date as the inscription.  When they give this gift, each sibling is going to write a note to the couple which they will put inside the box along with the wedding invitation.  Creating a one-of-a-kind, sentimental gift like this is one of the most satisfying types of commissions for me.  I hope the bride and groom cherish it and the thought that went into it;  I wish them many years of happiness together.
