My Grandmother's Wedding Invitation

I was lucky to spend the weekend with my beautiful grandmother this weekend. She has been a huge part of my life and seems to be very excited about my upcoming wedding. While I was perusing the house I came across something amazing. Someone took my grandmother's wedding invitation and created this gorgeous drawing on top of it.


THE WORDS:
Mrs. Clyde Raymound Jordan
requests the honour of your presence
at the marriage of her daughter
Carolyn Huntington
to
Douglas Hendon Clark
Lieutenant, Medical Corps, Army of The United States
Thursday the eleventh of September
at four o'clock
Elizabethtown Baptist Church
Elizabethtown, North Carolina

After seeing this it makes me want to incorporate some family wedding pictures into our wedding. I am going to start that process....SOON. I did find this gorgeous picture of my grandparents.


I am going to ask my Grandmother to write the story of how my grandparents met and their wedding story down for me. Wouldn't that be special to have!

How are you incorporating your family stories into your wedding?
