I do like the center/balance of this page, and though I'm a big huge fan of white, I think (at least) a little 'toasted marshmallow' along the edges does give it a more finished look~ And nice ink 'spatters' here as well. Great texture.<br />And IDK, I think the older more seasoned female is content- (they may have just stopped at the photo booth while she had other things [not love] on her mind! : ) ha ha.

I also am a romantic and find your love story time worn. <br /><br />I agree the pristine white is beautiful, but also agree it is lacking something. I'm not sure toasted marshmallow would have been my first choice, but it definitely warms the page. What I really like is the symmetry. It is hard placing the focal image in the center of a spread, but you pulled it off perfectly with both embellishments and ephemera. This is a stunning entry of forever love. You can not only see the burdens and joys of the couple as they aged, you also saw the hardships they endured. This is a remarkable tribute to love everlasting. Thank you so much for sharing this with us using my theme at Art Journal Journey.
