Those look great.  What woods did you make them from?

Oh my those are really nice.  I bet your niece was thrilled with them.  Were they give away to the guest afterwards??  Is that your pattern?  Thanks for sharing with us.

Nicely done, definitely something not seen at every wedding, and something to be remembered.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Those are really cool. Hope you attached a business card to the bottom. You may get a few orders.

thanks for the kind replies!  DW- select white pine 3/4" I stained them to look older.  Chelcass- gifted to family on both sides, my pattern- the two R's in the center of heart are for the first name initials of the bride-Rachael and groom-Rick, the mirror image is symbolic that each of them has each others back. Dan26- I had several people who wanted to buy them, took a lot of time but it was a labor of love!  

included a pic with the electronic candle, took me awhile to fiqure out how to post pics.  Lanterns are about 14 inches tall.

Very nice and well done. Thanks for explaining the meaning in this piece. Loved it all as I am sure the bride and groom did too. Such a nice touch to a wedding. Thanks for sharing.
