Picture or Painting...?

So, besides being super-talented at making cakes (see picture of our wedding cake in previous post), my new Mother-In-Law is also a fabulous painter.

Below is a picture of Steve and I that was randomly taken by Kristen at my little graduation party when I graduated from Judson a couple of months after Steve and I started dating. Turns out it has become "the picture" of us!

Steve's mom loved the picture so much that she decided to paint a portrait of it as an engagement gift for Steve and I! Isn't she amazing!

Amanda and I created a video to show at the reception that ended with "the picture" fading into the picture of the portrait- Steve's mom just loved that and was so touched that we did that. Great idea Amanda! (I'd love to post the video out here but it's too big for blogger to post and I have no clue if there is any other way...)
