Just married

I am a bit behind with everything right now... On Wednesday the new challenge started over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog, but I couldn't finish my card up to now as I had a lot on my plate (I had to catch up on my work after being away for 5 weeks & I am developing a bronchitis again...), so I am totally exhausted.
 
Our theme for this weeks challenge is "more than 1 fold" and we have some great sponsors again...
