When some friends of ours were married last summer, as they walked back up the aisle (casual aisle as it was a beach wedding), they were holding hands and threw their joined hands in the air and said 'We're hitched'. I was lucky enough to catch a photograph at just the right time - hands held high - and was able to print it and put it in a silver frame in time to take it to the reception with us. They absolutely loved it! So, if you like to take pictures and get lucky enough to catch one at a good time, I think that's always a great option. Or even if you already have a photograph from an earlier occasion.

Perry, When I make autograph quilts I use high quality 100% cotton muslin. Wash it, press it, and cut it larger than the size square you want. Iron the fabric onto freezer paper and make a margin on the fabric so people will know not to write outside of the finished square size. I sew the fabric to the freezer paper with a huge zig zag stitch and bright thread. This also helps the fabric stay on the freezer paper while it is being written on. From experience I have found that some people will carry the squares around for quite some time before they write on them so have extra squares in case they get stained. Let people know in advance about the quilt so they can plan what to write. I use acid free pigma pens, a sharpie or other pen not suitable for fabrics will 'bleed' into the fabric. Try a test on fabric before you ruin your wedding quilt!!!! Hope this helps,Rosa
