The Wedding Tablet, shown without any colour infill - order 8003.22R An Anniversary version is also available - order 8003.24R |
We engrave both the ladies maiden name's and the husband's name's crests, to commemorate the joining of two families in matrimony.
Please note that it is important to engrave the ladies name (or reference to her title e.g. Mum) above her crest - and the man's name (or e.g. Dad) above his crest - so please tell us which is which.
As is customary, the ladies name (and crest) always appears first, that is to say, on the left of the man's name (and crest). Protocol is very important when it comes to buying a unique wedding or anniversary gift!
We have access to a library of European heraldic crests, there being over half a million different surnames, researching can take us time. We research the oldest known crest for each surname (warning, around 5% of European names do not have an associated crest and we will not 'make one up'; all are authentic. This being the case, we will gladly refund your money). The shield is extracted from the crest and inserted into our standard embellishment.
There are around 150 different crests and some names are 'Septs' of others. We carefully select the correct crests for the names given and may need to ask questions if there is more than one crest associated with a popular name e.g MacDonald.
Combined with deeply engraved Celtic designs "The Loving Swans" and Celtic Borders, which surround the text commemorating either the Wedding or Anniversary of the couple, the crests we research are carefully laid out and deeply engraved to make a pleasing layout. Of course, if there is a component you wish to be left out, just make a note of it on your order.
