The History Behind Our Family Crest
Since we choose the Renaissance theme for Our Wedding we needed a Family Crest to represent the unity of our two Families. Paul Came up with the concept for the Shield and Our Family Crest and created it in Corel Draw.
The knights helmet on the top of the crest represents the era of the renaissance, as do the swords crossed through the shield.
The white eagle is the symbol for Poland and it represents Paul’s nationality. In Poland a decree was passed on December 7, 1955 that established Poland’s emblem to be the image of the white eagle, it’s head turned to the right with outspread wings, golden beak, and claws in a red field of the shield. In later years, the crown was once again restored to the head of the white eagle. During the Renaissance, when the circle was popular for an image or figure, the eagle adopted a shape that could be placed in a circle or on a coin.
The Scroll at the bottom contains the Date the union of Our two Families took place, April 6 2002.
