Mrs Amoondababycupcake Tucker

Little scamp got married a few weeks ago. She and her husband are so excited about their future they are planning a one year ceremony to clelbrate their wedding, which was a very private affair. I think the word "elpoed" fits their course but no one has yet used it.
Anyway, I have offered to let them use my first batch of homemade cherry wine as their table beverage. I don't know how big an affair the thing will be (next July) but Scamp's mom and dad don't have the resource's for a big to - do. Anyway, I've been thinking about the bottling and the labels, never having done this before. Up to now, I've used blue masking tape for my labels! Actually, I only have three bottles of aging wine, and I could probably just remember what's in each bottle. But I thought I'd publish what I'm working with and how it's turning out. This picture is of Amanda, my lovely daughter, and her chosen one, Tucker. I know, what hams - what posers. Anyway, my wife loves the pic and thought it would make a good background for a wine label, and she's right.
It's a fabulous photograph, and it says a lot about them both.
Using mostly online photo editor picnic, I've come up with these variations.I'm struggling with the size of the lettering and whether or not to include the words "contains sulfites" which is legally required on wine the has the compounds added. I don't know if I can put it on a back label or not.

These pencil drawings took me some time because of my unfamiliarity with picnic, but I find it a very intuitive site to use. I like "Cherry Wine Celebration" but decided others might blandly feel the object of the celebration is the two and not the wine. So, being the deferential guy that I am...
