Thanks to Tommy and Payton, the brick engravers As well as all of the Bricklink shops that carried the peices that we needed.

Good Luck Jeff!

Back in 1978 TLG came out with an interesting set with the big people (you know those big heads that show up in boxes of Lego at garage sales)...

That set was #205 Wedding set. The bride has auburn hair, the groom a mustache and a top hat. I bet they would look good on a wedding cake. The problem with minifigs is that they are to small to be wedding cake toppers, but the big head bridal pair would be ideal.

Of course the #205 had a rather limited production. They are hard to come by.

Jeff, Congrats, I love that keepsake you had made.

Gary, That 205 is one of my favorites (I think I have three of them by now) the only problem is the ‘instructions’. There are no real instructions, just a large poster with many, many building ideas. The problem is determining the set inventory from the poster, where does one start, and when do you stop.

I plan on scanning the entire instructions, both sides, then stitching it back together into one large poster. so many things to do, and no where near enough time.

Keep on bricking, dave
