Use this pattern to make a bookmark for the men in a wedding party. It would make a fantastic gift for the groom to remember the day he became a husband. His hand’s clasp together to showcase the wedding band that symbolizes his love for his bride.

The edwardian formal attire includes tails and a top hat. His clasped hands can hang outside the book to remind any reader that there is more to read. His three-dimensional head hangs outside the book to make it easy to find the readers place.
