[Scriptoris] Need some help

[Hillary Greenslade]

You didn't specify a country, so wonder if that matters?  
Might be an extra if you do the piece in the history of their names, ie. french, german, italian.  And it also may help you narrow down your search of illuminations to emulate.  It maybe a help if you consider the church the wedding is being held in, ex: if Lutheran, then consider a German text or illumination.   
 
If Jewish, you have the wedding contract and there should be lots of historical sources for that.  If not Jewish, you may still be able to use the verbage of the Hebrew contact as a source.   
 
If Christian, you may want to use some scripture as source, either: 
Ruth 1:16-17 - where Ruth tells her Mother-in-Law that she would go with her till death. Many will use this text in reference to marriage as well. 
Song of Solomon - lots of love text sources there, tho you may have to skirt around the specific sexual themes if this is to be less private of a piece. 
I Cor 13 - the love chapter (some Bibles use the word 'charity' for 'Love').
 
Good luck, Hillary

I am looking for help with a personal project guys. I am looking for
both/either/whatever an illuminated piece showing a wedding, and a piece
that is more of a declaration of marriage type of thing.

Basically, I'd like to create a C&I piece for my brother-in-law and his
soon-to-be wife for their wedding gift. I wanna take a period wedding scene
and word around that with the promise of marriage or some such. I have the
basic idea in my head, but need help with finding things to base it on.

Help!
