Here is ours, the "Embrace" ketubah from 20th Century Illuminations. We were very happy both with the ketubah itself, and with the level of communication with the artist as we went along.
This is ours:

Yep, shertz1981, 20th Century Illuminations is her company. We wanted to work directly with her, rather than through a store, because we were customizing the text on our ketubah and thought it safest to deal directly with the artist.
Siiiiigh! I love these so much. Is it disrespectful to get one if we're not Jewish or would that be okay?
KMSull- I'm not entirely sure of the answer to your question because I'm not Jewish (FI is). However, I'm sure that if you wanted to have something similar made it would be ok. The wording on the Ketubah is essentially a marriage contract that is decorated beautifully and hung on the wall in your home. I would think that you could take your wedding vows and have them made into a similar piece of art that would be very special and meaningful.
I am sure there are others lurking around who know more about the actual history and meaning behind the ketubah than I do; please know that my knowledge is limited! :)
@KMSull: Of course it's okay! You'd want to adjust the wording so that it is an accurate reflection of your relationship (Mr. Spaniel and I are doing a LOT of modifications since he's not Jewish and I'm not practicing), but we both thought it was a great symbol and keepsake of the wedding and our vows to each other.
KMSull, the only time I have heard anyone Jewish complaining about using such a thing in a nonJewish context was if it was actually referred to as a ketubah. Anyone can have a "marriage contract" or "marriage certificate" that has the same types of artwork on it. And most of the ketubah artists seem to have some kind of text that would work for a nonJewish couple.
And thanks, mrbee and Coccinelle! We looked at a lot of them before picking out that one.
This is the one we want to buy:

I've seen so many amazing ones online but I'd love to see what you all picked! Were you happy with your artist/Web site?
I'm not sure if it's better to get it (computer) printed or to spring for the calligraphy, either
