About this pattern

Two honey-brown teddy bears sit side by side as a bride and groom, facing you and holding hands, under one red heart. The groom, on the left, wears a black top hat with a red band and a black bow tie under his chin; the bride, on the right, wears a white veil that covers the top of her head behind her ears and hangs down behind both shoulders. Each bear has round ears with pale straw linings, dark eyes with a white glint in each, a pale muzzle with a dark nose and the pale round pads of both feet turned to the front; the bride also has a pale tummy.

60 stitches wide by 53 high: 2,136 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Topaz 782, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822 and 3 more).
