One of my favorites parts of our wedding was our engagement announcement. A co-worker of mine recently got engaged and asked to see it so I pulled it out to show her and read through it again myself. It was so fun that I wanted to share it and the awesome accompanying photo of course!

BP and JM announce loudly,
clearly, and with strong steady voices their engagement to be
lawfully wedded into marriage, which will encompass “knot tying,”
“hitching,” “broom jumping,” “glass stomping,” and the
oppression of no more than one ankle each by the fastening of balls
and chains to said ankles.
The bride to be is the daughter of HP
and LP of X, PA. She is a 2010 graduate of X College where she
learned how to manage time by drinking coffee, was very active in
theater, and failed statistics because it's useless. She works as the
Secretary of Special Education for X. In
her free time she is active in community theater, has achieved the
status of a level 80 night elf hunter, and much to the chagrin of her
groom-to-be she's never eaten, or attempted to eat, their pet cat.
The groom to be is the son of SK and JK of X, PA, and the late JM. He is a 2002 graduate of X University
where he discovered electricity, taught sharks to lie, and of the
force became a pupil he did. He currently works as a Guest Relations
Representative at X. In his free time he is present in
community theater on occasion, enjoys eating sins, and causing
strangers' pets to doubt their owners.
They will assume their roles as spouses
on Halloween which, contrary to popular belief, is the most wonderful
time of the year. The ceremony, requiring guests to attend in
costume, will take place at the Masonic Hall in X followed by a
frightfully festive and fantastical feast, fraught with fearful fun
and fabulous frivolity ranging from funny to freakishly phenomenal.
