Hey Linda,
Guess what? I’m finally getting married! I’m going to send you
a formal invitation soon, but I wanted to let you know early so
that you can arrange flights and everything. Will you come?
I really want you to!

The wedding is in three months, on Saturday 4 August, at the Town Hall and the reception is at August, at the Town Hall and the reception is at
th
a hotel nearby. It’s a tradition in Toby’s family for the bride and groom to go out for dinner with
close friends and family before the wedding. How about joining us? I’m afraid I can’t put you up
because there will be so much going on. But I know a nice B&B you can stay at if you like.

It’s going to be brilliant. You have to see my dress, it’s so beautiful! And guess what! My little
nieces are going to be bridesmaids. Just imagine!

Email me when you can,
Jennifer
