Wedding invite

Many thanks for the invitation to the evening reception. So desperately sorry that we haven't sent a reply before now. It went from our minds shortly after we got back here, then we got engrossed in the house move and a family bereavement. Add to that my stupidity, forgetfulness and downright laziness and you will understand. I hope!

We are both delighted that you are finally getting married and would love to be there for the evening celebrations. If you can, please put us down for the 15:30 bus. Sporran will be full of brown drinking vouchers, so no worries on the absence of cashpoint facilities. 
Will there be a street urchin or ragamuffin there to hold my umbrella if it rains? Do we need to bring our own ukulele or will there be a range to choose from on arrival? If battle breaks out, can we all challenge someone else to a duel? Is it essential to be on ones best behaviour or are belching, scratching, petting, running, bombing, jumping, ducking, swimming in the diving area, and farting all permitted?

Looking forward to a great day. Just think, the next time we see you, you'll be a married couple!! Weeeeey, heeeey.

See you both on the night.

Best wishes from The Netherlands
