Artist's Comments

A gift to my adorable and awesome grandparents for their 50th wedding anniversary :3

To Leo, who came over on a rice barge or something from China when he was 19, spoke no english, and managed to graduate from Northeastern U and MIT in Mechanical Engineering~

To Helen, who remained in school despite the 50's era, majored in Biochemistry at Boston U and turned down a government job in DC to stay here with her new family~

I snagged their wedding album as reference for this - so much poofy hair and fabulous heels! I added the Chinese dress as it was a combination Western style and traditional wedding and the butterflies represent young love and an undying bond

I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be in love with someone for that long, but I'm sure glad they did ^^

In a really bad bind.
Sometimes, saying sorry just leads to half-assed forgiveness.

So this it the piece I heard about. :3 It's a beautiful tribute.

I especially love the black and white, it reminds me of yin and yang *quote from avatar';push and pull'*and how two pieces come together and form a circle that goes on forever. *corny and cheesy thoughts here*

Something I really like but feel weird about commenting on is the lighting and colors, it just has a old vintage feel to it.

Aw, that's wonderful! Even without the adorable stories both of them have, their positions and the way the cloth wraps around both is just so classy. It's a great gift. :D

it's good to have you with us
even if it's just for the day.
