The Story: Following the success of Anthony's Scarface Poster, we had to come up with another reason to create one of these products. My cousin marrying my brothers best friend presented a great opportunity, so we seized it. Brandon Trate has been a little (BIG) brother to me since...forever. He has been my younger brother's best friend for quite a while, and in addition to that he married my cousin Dorrit Leigh Emerich. Brandon and Dorrit Leigh have always known each other, through us, but it wasn't until they took a vacation with us to My Wife's Sisters Beach Home in Cape Charles, VA that the sparks ignited. Hiding behind a floating jetski in the warm Chesapeake Bay, they had their first kiss. I caught them, and told everyone, and the rest is history. They both have exceptionally funny personalities, so it wasn't hard to come up with these posters....they got a BOGO deal!
The Poster (Brandon): Brandon is a big, meathead, redneck, teddy-bear. And his groomsmen are a bunch of goofballs and goons. The wedding was taking place at a country club so we felt like the Caddyshack set up was perfect. The image in the background is actually the country clubhouse where they were getting married, and the group of guys in the hole are his groomsmen cut from various pictures of them acting like idiots. The redneck side of Brandon is really captured well!
The Poster (Dorrit): Women love to reflect on "how we met". So what better way pay tribute to how they met, than with a poster. Cape Charles, VA happens to be a historical location for the Pirates of the Chesapeake...yes they did exist...so we created a Pirates of the Chesapeake poster with Dorrit Leigh as the most wanted pirate. A Treasure map shows the X at Cape Charles with a starting point in their hometown of Allentown, PA. The rest is just fun additions to make the poster look authentic.
