Catholic invite proof read

Please let me know what needs to be fixed or capitalized.  You can pass on the "and" debate in the year, I've decided to omit it.  I'm also wondering what sort of font people use.  I've seen 2 invites where all the wording was in capital print except the couple's names were in script.  Is this standard?  I'm DIYing so let me know where to find fonts, too.  Thanks!!  :)

    This is a smallish detail but generally when you're hosting, you don't actually list yourselves as hosts.  Instead, just say,


    Their lives have been blessed

    by their love for each other

    and by their faith in the Lord

    The honour of your presence is requested
    at the Nuptial Mass uniting

    Equine  Osomosis

    and

    FI Osmosis

    in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony

    on Saturday, the twenty-fifth of June

    Also, use middle names if you have them.

    The phrase "in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony" is superfluous unless you just like it, because that's exactly what "Nuptial Mass" means; I would also eliminate the word "on" before Saturday.

    Oh - and our entire invitation is in Rook Script, and our names/the church name is just a tiny bit bigger (like the difference between 10pt and 12 pt - I didn't do them myself so I can't give you exact specs). Bickham Script is another common, traditional script.
