Description
This artifact is a wedding invitation to Sarah Lee and Jeffrey Adam Harker's wedding.
The submitter told the following story about the artifact's creation:
"Our wedding invitations were a compilation of the “nerdy” undertones of our wedding (lord of the rings themed borders, medieval style wax seal, celtic knot, etc.) and classic invitation style. We made them individually, by hand, to save a bit of money. The colors of the wedding were a dark blue (TARDIS blue, to be exact) and gold. We tried to keep the language a bit more traditional, because I come from a very traditional family. We handwrote each envelope, as well, to make it more personal. We didn’t have a large wedding, so it was much easier. This was actually one of my husband’s favorite projects. Because brides and their moms do so much of the planning, traditionally, he wanted his own project, and I told him to go for it. It was a great encapsulation of the kind of balance we tried to achieve with the actual wedding."
