Not a wedding present, but the most complex of the three windows we had Atlanta stained glass artist <a href="http://www.vloeberghs.com/homepage.html" rel="nofollow">Pat Vloeberghs</a> make—cost/effort are linked to the number of pieces. We thought it had been installed to just pop out, but no, it's well-caulked. So, for now, it's safe there. A second piece she made is a round window in our bedroom far from the destruction—design is moon and shooting star. Third piece was commercial beveled glass pieced square in the shower—which I figured was a goner because it was <em>right under</em> the trunk of the tree. BUT, it's intact, set aside safely, and awaiting reinstallation in the new shower! We have been so lucky with all this!</p> <p>The kicker: we had the three windows made to mark our return to the house after the (first) tree crushed our house in 1991!</p> Yes, it’s a stained glass window.

The kicker: we had the three windows made to mark our return to the house after the (first) tree crushed our house in 1991!

Either happenstance or someone knew what they were doing re: structurally when it was put in. I seem to remember this was a wedding gift perhaps, but it's been almost 5 years since we stood there (!) and so I may be wrong. at least the (what I think is) stained glass window is intact on the right.
