After ignoring several emails from my intended insisting that we MUST write the invitations (he is right, I am the one who created the timeline, it just seemed so cliche, so something to do LATER, any day but today). Alas, at home, there is no stack of paperwork to hide behind.
It was a bumpy start, using other invitations and trying to edit them to my taste and then being entirely dissatisfied. Until I remembered a recent epiphany: It is often easier to start from scratch then build on the foundation of others. And so I just wrote. Think I pretty much nailed it. When K read the intro he asked if he could "borrow" the words for the vows. I told him fine as long as he doesn't mind my using the word plagarism in mine. :)
Ok, here's the meat of it:
Fate kept our paths parallel but uncrossed, until the day that we each stepped slightly off center, together discovering a new road with no speed limits, no stop lights…simply our hearts whispering “go.”
Your friendship and love have been an important part of our journey-- please join us, Kevin Parr and Emily Guerrero, together with our families, as we pledge to travel the road of life together…
Of course, then I started thinking of yin and yang, how our differences balance, etc, etc. Since he really IS my yin, K put the brakes on my OCD tendencies and insisted he loved the present version, saving me from hours of completely unneccessary re-writes of a document that will ultimately line recycle bins. Well, I hope. If our invites are not treasured, I hope that they are at least given new life. Hmm...maybe THAT should go on the invite. K is in bed now, nobody to keep the OCD in check, look out keyboard!
