What an amazing way to touch families.</P><P>We did a family portrait at our wedding with my grandfather. He has multiple myeloma and wasn't supposed to make it to Christmas 06 let alone our Oct 07 wedding. It hangs proudly above my Grandparents fireplace and it all of our living rooms.Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:12:43 GMTKatherineRhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic456648-7-1.aspxwow... what a great thing to do!! :) that is fantastic.Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:14:23 GMTCelestialhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic456648-7-1.aspxCrystal thank you for that post.
