RSVP time

The invitations are out and the responses are pouring in!

So far we have 35 confirmed guests with no regrets, which is extremely exciting. I'm so glad to see that all of you are as excited as we are, I promise the food is amazing, our DJ is fun, and the ceremony will be short and sweet.

19 of you want the salmon, which I find amusing because it was both Mike and my personal favorite. I guess I've sold it well to the friends and family.

There has been one minor setback to this happy time, and that was seeing several of the invitations come back to us "return to sender." We did our best to get current addresses, and the basic list was one that we used for Kathleen's wedding, so I thought it was semi-up-to-date. But mistakes happen and there was either some mis-translations or just plain wrong addresses.

So Kim and John, your invite is in the mail to you (for the second time) and I hope you receive it soon.
And Uncle Dan and Aunt Jan Rooney, I've been advised to leave yours at Grandma's because Dan stops by there every week, so I will do that.

Jessica and Eric, Mike will send yours out to you again.

And Janice, you know the postman just hates me, because they sent it back with your sister's forwarding address. I don't know why that one wasn't delivered, it's some kind of curse.

So four mis-addressed envelopes have come back, and hopefully that's the end of them. Please, if anyone is upset or feels hurt that they appear to be uninvited you may call me personally. I was the holder of the address book and it would be my fault if we had something incorrect. Neither my mother nor my father were involved in the address fiasco, so if you feel you would like to talk to someone--I'm your man.

Again, we are sorry and embarrassed to see these invitations fail to get where they need to go, and we're doing everything we can to get them to you correctly. With some patience everything will turn out just fine.
