[Hiring] Need a poster made for an aniversary gift

Hello,

I am looking for someone to make a poster and a playing card of a crossword puzzle i built for my wife for our anniversary. Not looking for anything to exravagant. But would like to give her a 14x20 poster and a print out to play on that day to solve it herself. The print out can be simple, but I thought it would be fun if it was a prettier version than a typical crossword print out.

For the poster the theme of the puzzle is our wedding day. So I would like to incorporate a photo of each of the themed places we went to on that day. Also there is a set of clues linked to our first date which would be nice to add a photo of, and finally a clue that is simply our pups name and having a photo of him would brighten her day.

I have a few other ideas around the whole thing, but we can talk on that a bit more later or if you have specific questions.

Budget: $200-$250

Made my first crossword for my aniversary gift

My wife and I have loved doing crosswords together since we first met (we’re solid Tuesday-level solvers). The “together” part matters so much that we actually get a little annoyed if one of us starts a puzzle without the other.

For our anniversary, I decided to make her a crossword themed around us (the clues are very non universal, so it won't be submitted anytime soon). I’ve got five theme answers tied to our wedding day (8D, 24D, 16A, 39A, and 63A), plus clues for our first date (4A, 52A, 66A, 58D, and 10D). I even managed to work in our dog’s name as a clue and a few other personal references that just happened to fall into place in the end of the day.

I’m about 99% proud of it, but 26A and 54D are bothering me. They’re solvable from crosses, but they feel a little forced compared to the rest of the puzzle. With how much theming I already fit in, part of me thinks I should just call it a win, but I figured I’d see if anyone has ideas for better answers or cluing that might make those entries feel more natural.

Thanks for the help in advanced.
