I'm on the hunt...

For a Bible.

As part of the Hispanic traditions that we are incorporating into our wedding ceremony, we will be presented with a Bible and Rosary. The catch is that I don’t want your ordinary, plain leather Bible that you find at your local Christian store. I want something intricate that shouts, “Hey this is our Family Bible!” Something that we will display in our home and, when people ask what it is, we can explain how we received in on our wedding day. Something that our children can always look at and read through, knowing that one day it will be their Bible and their children's Bible, etc.

I have fallen in love with the Jo Marz Designs, but, unfortunately they are on the more expensive side. I took it upon myself to e-mail them to see if they did custom Bibles, but a quick response from their company let me know that they are not producing anymore until June 2008, when their 2009 line will come out.

I’ve looked and looked online, and I’m afraid I’ve come up with only a few possibilities. I’m on the hunt for a Bible that we will pass down to generations of Hydrangeas to come. So now, I ask you all, my fellow Bees, where can I find an intricate Bible?
