The Wedding Rifle

Well, Dad and Bro' Dan did it again. They presented Miss Melodie and I an Uberti 1866 Carbine in .44WCF in honor of our coming wedding. The reason it's a bit early is that one of the "deliverables" for the reception is a Russian boar to be harvested this coming September. They thought it would be fitting that the wedding hog be shot with a wedding rifle.
I am trying to convince Miss Melodie that she is perfectly capable of taking a hog. She's willing, at least in spirit. We'll see when we get to the ranch...
But I got to thinking yesterday (sometimes not a good thing)...I'd really like to have the side plate engraved a little bit with our wedding date and maybe little filigrees or doo-dads. Nothing too grand and really not much more than the date.
Who would you recommend for such a project?
Thanks!
