I am going with a very traditional invitation verse as you can see below and found two quotes I'd like to precede it with but I can't choose between the two. Which would you choose?
(pls disregard any typos) Thanks.


The honour of your company
                is requested as we,

                 Lisa D. Lastname
                                      and
           Matthew J. Lastname

           are joined in marriage

Saturday, the second of October     
                   two thousand ten 
three o'clock in the afternoon

 

        Babylon Village Gazebo

           250 West Main Street
              Babylon, New York

    I'm assuming the first one should be "is drawing near'? 

    I would pick that one because it seems slightly more traditional than the second one.  Neither really seem to match the formality of the invitation wording, though, IMO.

    And I would remove the "we" from the invitation wording.

    Yup that was the typo I was referring too.Wink

    I kind of agree with neither quote matching the formality of the rest of the wording but it was the best I could come up with. Most of the sample verses I found for the couple inviting were what I had above with some sort of quote preceding it. If you have other suggestions...I am open to them.

    I added the "we" because we are inviting and I like the way it sounds but I'll consider leaving it out.

    I really have to make my mind up on this soon.

    I used the "on this day I marry my friend..." verse at the top of my invitations; however my invitation wording was much less formal than yours.  That may be another option to look at, but it might not go well with the traditional wording.  Also, if you are looking for something specific to you two as a couple (ie. "we" or "our" in the verse), then I guess that doesn't help you at all  lol  Here are a few others I found:

    "As our marriage brings new meaning to love,
    so our love brings new meaning to life."

    Because you have shared in their lives
    by your friendship and love....FirstLast & FirstLast request the honour of your company...etc

    "A friendship that was shared by two
    has grown into a love so true."

    chels, how did you word yours exactly if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking mine is too formal now especially considering we're not getting married in church. Wording my accommodation card was easier then this....lol!

    We aren't getting married in a church either which is why I went the more informal wording.  Mine was worded like this:


    Pretty simple, but that's all I was really going for.  Hope that helps.
