"I have a digital imaged Rockwell I altered for my wife, as an anniversary present. It is a picture of a couple at the clerk of court getting their marriage license. I altered the date on the calendar to say 11/1, which is our anniversary."

That is a clever and touching use of the art of Norman Rockwell. I think he would have approved.

For the reference of other readers, the original piece is titled The Marriage License (see below) and is a magazine cover that Norman Rockwell did for the June 11, 1955 issue of the Saturday Evening Post.

It may interest you to know that the young couple who posed for Rockwell were engaged to be married.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Lord willing, some day, I will own the original, or at least a reprint.
