A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a picture of words worth???

I really don't plan to do too much decorating for the reception.  I'm sure we will do a little table decor (none of those 3 foot tall centerpieces that just get in the way of conversation), but I thought we kinda needed something else.  My new idea: Canvas Quotes.

I plan to take some of my favorite quotes and paint/Sharpie them onto canvases that I can display around the room.  I'm thinking I should be able to use my computer at school and project it onto the canvas (which will be hanging on my whiteboard) and just trace them.  What I don't know is if I could just get a bunch of different colors of Sharpies and just use those, or if I need to trace it with pencil then go back and paint it later.  Any of my artistic friends have any advice on this?

I want some to be serious, some funny... and none that are way too cliche.

Oh, and for your viewing pleasure, here are some of the quotes/art I plan to use!

from tumblr
Jason's Favorite from ReadyMade
Gotta Love Disney!

Totally US!
I'm such a math geek! :o)

My thought is I could keep one or two of these to use as pictures around the house and sell the rest.  I would need quite a few of them to make this work, so I need your help... Do you have any suggestions?  What's your favorite love/marriage quote?
