How to display your "Love Story"?

I always like to think outside of the box, I've came across a great idea to display your Love Story at your wedding.
How about creating a Love story timeline on a chalk board. Its rustic, old-fashioned and your guests will see it when they walk in to your venue , and say "Awww how cute" as they read how it all began.





Here is a reasonable link where you can purchase a 24 x 36 chalkboard, or you can also use this chalkboard as a seating chart
