  I would change the introduction.   It sounds... well, weird.    Also, the half past thing... sounds sort of odd too.   I now that's the old school way if the invitation is very formal.  You also don't need to tell them to be prompt.      They'll know.
  
  how about: 
  
  

  The honor of your presence is requested
  

  at the marriage of
  Gwendolyn Middle Last
  and
  Ethan Middle Last
  

  saturday, the twenty-second of September

  at Ten Thirty in the Morning
  
  Insert location

  If it is not a church wedding I believe that it is supposed to say "the pleasure of your company is requested..." instead of honor of your presence. If you look at an invitation on David's bridal or vista print, they have all sorts of examples on wording (you have to go in and personalize on to see the templates)

  I actually got this wording, and modified it slightly, from Brides- where my invitations are from. "We would be honored" wasn't listed as being for churches, should I remove honor entirely?
  
   I debated ten thrity and half past... I'll probably go with ten thirty.

  I haven't seen that "honor" needed to be reserved only for church weddings.  I think "Pleasure of your company" or "honor of your presence" could either be used.
  
  I would just change the opening.  I haven't seen anywhere that the invitations should ever be written in the "first person".   If you and your fiance are the "hosts" and not your parents, I would go with some variaton of the wording I posted.   This is very typical wording that is used when the bride/groom are the hosts.
  
  Congrats!
