Celebrating my parents’ 47th anniversary during the height of the coronavirus pandemic felt like the perfect time to create something truly special. I grabbed my paints and crafted a small, personalized marriage hex sign just for them. It featured hearts, disselfinks, and the year 1973—their wedding year. This symbol of love and protection now adds a charming touch to their small white gazebo, a constant reminder of their enduring bond. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, this handcrafted gift became a bright spot in our celebration, bringing warmth and tradition to their special day.
