Engagement/Wedding Announcement

I'm getting ready to contact the newspapers to announce our engagement and upcoming wedding and I'm running into a bit of a problem.  Here are the two paragraphs in question... Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} Laura is the granddaughter of ------. Laura is a 2005 graduate of West High School and a 2009 graduate of Tarleton State University. She is currently employed as a Database Administration Specialist at -----. Kyle is the grandson -----. Kyle is a 1997 graduate of Moore High School.  He is currently employed as an Aircraft Inspector at -----.When reading his paragraph is makes it sound like he didn't go to college, which he didn't, but he was in the Airforce for 4 years.  How do I word that, because the Airforce is where he received all his training that he uses at work.  I just want to make sure it's 'proper'.  Thanks!

Re: Engagement/Wedding Announcement

  • "He served with the Air Force for 4 years, and is now currently employed as an aircraft inspector at X".
  • Just add in a sentence saying the years he was enlisted and his rank.  Ask him, he'll know how to word it.Most newspapers just ask for the specifics and then they word the announcement.  So if you haven't contacted your paper yet, you might want to do that to make sure you aren't creating too much work for yourself.
