I know this sounds weired but we found these adorable paint cans that we want to give out by Sheva Brachos. We made the menu in the shape of a paint pallet and are having cookies shapped like paint splots.

I need a sentence wording something to write on the cans together with the pic of the Chasson and Kallah.

Need this for tomorrow so PLEASE help Laughing

Here are a few:

Jewish sources:

Every bride is beautiful. (Gemara)

Non-Jewish:

"The Art Of Marriage"
by Wilferd A. Peterson (longer version)
Compliments Of Erik & Beth Kent, Co-Publishers of NJWedding.com

Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.
In the art of marriage the little things are the big things...
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not end with the honeymoon,
it should continue through all the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude
of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.
It is speaking words of appreciation
and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience,
understanding and a sense of humour.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is finding room for the things of the spirit.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal,
dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.
It is discovering what marriage can be, at its best.

I don't know if either of these help, but it's a start!

Your new world/home together ( don't know how u say in Hebrew but would prob sound better ) should be painted with brochas.

Thanks the poem is way to long I was looking for a sentence not more

These are perfect, but I wouldn't use them for a sheva brachos. Oh well.
"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
-- Marc Chagall"

�Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.�

�Love is like a painting in the begining it is only an idea, but over time it is built up through errors and corrections till you have a breath taking work of art for all to see.�

This one is cute, but again, not usable:
�Sure G-d created man before woman, but then again you always make a rough draft before creating the final masterpiece.�

Another that I wouldn't use:
"The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
- George Santayana"

These are nice:
"Dreams are your paints, the world is your canvas. Believing, is the brush that converts your dreams into a masterpiece of reality."

"In reality, all men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives trying to create a masterpiece.
Eddie Murphy"

"Paint a masterpiece daily. Always autograph your work with excellence.
Greg Hickman"

"Make each day your masterpiece.
John Wooden"
