Default HELP Wedding quilt label !!!

I am not good with words--- I made a quilt for a wedding and now I need to put a label on it.... Does anyone have a really neat saying or label idea ? Any ideas will be so appreciated...... ! I plan to take it to a stencil place to have the label professioally done...It is for my daughter-in-laws sisters wedding...!

Can you use a picture of the bride and groom in the label? Sometimes people make two labels, one for sentiment and another to identify the quilt maker. Sometimes that one also contains information on how to care for the quilt.

Sorry, I'm just adding to the confusion. No help in terms of wording.

Did you know that by using Bubble Jet you can put the fabric (ironed on to freezer paper) through your printer. Then you can print your own label. This would also be washable.....I am not sure that labels made at a printer are washable.
Can you use something from the invitation?

Can you elaborate on the quilt design or pattern? Can it tie in to the label?

If the quilt is heirloom it is always important to include date, reason, city and state of maker and makers name. But if you just want something cutesy I am sure you can find loads of ideas on the internet. There was another thread posted here, maybe you will get ideas from that

Edited to add, maybe this will help

I think something from the wedding invitation would work as it is already something that reflects their personalities.

The last one I made I used "True Love stories never have endings"

but my favorite is


Navajo Wedding Blessing
(translator unknown)

Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth for the other.
Now there is no room for loneliness,
for each of you will be a companion to the other.
Now you are two persons, but there is but one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long upon this earth.

I love that quote, too! I've never made a wedding quilt but may someday ~ if so I hope I can remember this!

You could make an envelope from fabric and put the information on a card along with maybe the wedding invitation. Just a thought.
