I made this for my dad and my stepmother wedding tapestry. It was done sometime after 1994 since that's when I got my first embroidery machine. They have kept it hanging in their bedroom. I don't remember if I consulted them on the design but in hindsight I think I would have made something less "cute". It's possible I chose something I really liked and wanted to stitch. I believe that with experience I now choose better by considering the recipient more. Either way, they appreciated it and the stitch out and mounting has held up, something you don't always know about when you give a gift. Now, it's a treasure since my dad just passed.
But, you're right, we have more choices now! I've made the split ampersand for one of my kid's weddings and for another one I did a split scroll frame and carefully found a scroll to match their invitations.
But really, all 3 are very nice women.
