A Mom's Very Special Wedding Gift

We would like to share an email message we received this week about a magnificent wedding present that a very talented mom created for her son and his new bride, who were married at Mountain View in October.

Sharon Leichsenring is a professional artist from Trumbull, Connecticut, who decided to do something extra special and out of the ordinary for her son Ryan and his new bride, Annie, who now reside in West Hartford, Conn. She painted a large three-paneled screen (51 inches wide by seven feet high) on primed canvas, which featured a beautiful scenic view of the front of Mountain View Grand. The resort serves as a backdrop for four generations of wedding pictures contributed by both sides of the new couple’s family.

Inspired by the beautiful ceiling mural of Mountain View’s Crystal Ballroom, where the reception was held, Sharon also created a stunning peacock perching regally on a stone tower in front of the hotel with the inscription “The Past Is Prologue.”
