"Back in 2020, my best friend’s then-boyfriend called me and said “I’m proposing to Maggie on Saturday. Can you be there to take pictures as I do it?” That led to me squatting behind a large, flowery bush, taking creeper pictures of my best friends during one of the most momentous days of their lives. ???? They got married in August 2021 and I was the maid of honor (which really *was* an honor!). Buying them a wedding present wasn’t easy, though… Patrick is a hard person to shop for, since he has a job that involves being sent the newest, coolest gadgets to review! This was no simple “buy a nice blender off of their registry” kind of situation. I didn’t have any ideas for a practical gift, but eventually, I came up with a sentimental gift instead. I had a Paint Your Life artist (Johny!) recreate one of the photos I took on the day of the engagement… and to say that Maggie and Patrick were floored would be an understatement! ?? They repeatedly told me that this is the best gift they’ve ever gotten, and I love that I was able to give them a gift that will one day be a family heirloom. ????
