For anyone who lives local(ish) or is willing to travel...  I put a lot of effort into making the invites look nice, not so much on the wording!  I don't know much about what looks nice or doesn't but to my eyes it looks professionally done. The colour pallet is surprisingly easy on my eye and works really well. The choice of font is easy to read and contrasts well with the background and the spacing and font size while is variable, doesn't look awkward and out of place I don't know what font it is but I do like it and while it's very different and the violet is a different hue, for some reason, being a chocoholic it feels close enough that I now fancy some Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate. Yay for marketing. I'm sorry to say that I don't understand skulls. I'm not used to seeing them associated with weddings or positive things but am curious if the skulls and roses are symbolic of lows and highs experienced through the journey of marriage or in a pairing like that. Maybe the rose represents the love and support and the skull represents the person who needs it, whomever that may be at whatever time, an extension of supporting each other "through thick(roses) and thin(skulls)", hard times(skulls), good times(roses)?. I suspect it's supposed to represent a duality of some sort. I'm just not sure I'm interpreting it correctly. I may be reading way too much into it and it may just be, because it looks cool. While I won't be attending for mostly financial reasons, I appreciate the sentiment of you extending the invite. I hope that the 21st October is filled with much love and joy with a few memorable but very pleasant surprises thrown in. The font, I think, is Black Chancery. I felt like it was a nice fit for the style of the invite. Lol, Cadbury purple is my favourite shade of purple. It makes me happy (probably because of the chocolate inside the wrapper) Skulls are cool. If you want to put meaning to the skull and rose, the way I would interpret it would be the rose for love and the skull for death. Marriage is supposed to be "until death do us part" after all. But mostly, I just like them  Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully it will be a nice day, but I will also be relieved when it is all over. I'm not one of these girls that has dreamed of her wedding since she was a little girl. All the organising stuff is way too stressful. I just wanted to sign our names on some paper then go get a bunch of cocktails. R35T wouldn't let me.  I've never actually seen any of the Matrix films  Crikey! While not exactly the same thing, here's something similar to what was going through my mind. Some of that is Bill and Ted, right? I've not seen that film either.  |

Congratulations to you both! I always thought you two were married, so I'm glad to hear you are officially tying the knot.
If I wasn't 7,700 km away I'd be there!

The font, I think, is Black Chancery. I felt like it was a nice fit for the style of the invite. Lol, Cadbury purple is my favourite shade of purple. It makes me happy (probably because of the chocolate inside the wrapper)  Happy is a good thing, as is Chocolate. Black Chancery, that's a cool name for a font. I think I mentioned that I do like the font and like it more now.Skulls are cool. If you want to put meaning to the skull and rose, the way I would interpret it would be the rose for love and the skull for death. Marriage is supposed to be "until death do us part" after all. But mostly, I just like them I'm personally not that into skulls or death heads. Symbolically to me they represent coldness, harsh, pain, death. The colour softens the harshness of death with your impression as does the patterned artwork within the skulls themselves. I wasn't really seeking you to think about a meaning for me and It looks like I erroneously assumed that there was a deliberate meaning beyond "you like them". There's absolutely no need for another reason.
Another English lady friend of mine likes skulls and roses and leather and lace too, pleasure and pain. I personally don't get it. A male friend of mine is into hot rods with features a lot of flames and skulls which again I don't really get.
I don't mean to interrogate or be overly analytical. It's just my way of trying to make sense of foreign things and people.
When you say marriage is supposed to be "until death do us part". I guess secularly, that's how the law interprets. Marriage means different things to different people. I'm a religious guy, I married in a Latter Day temple which according to the LDS faith extends marriage to time and eternity.
For what it's worth, I had my wedding reception on the 21st October too, that was back in 2000, My wedding invites had gold, champagne and cream tones but me, not having the talent to create or print the artwork, I bought premade versions with envelopes. I did add words and personalised each invite and envelope.
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully it will be a nice day, but I will also be relieved when it is all over. I'm not one of these girls that has dreamed of her wedding since she was a little girl. All the organising stuff is way too stressful. I just wanted to sign our names on some paper then go get a bunch of cocktails. R35T wouldn't let me. EDITL Oh you said kind words oops - I just read thanks for the WORDS, and without thinking if they were kind or not, just wrote a whole lot more. I wrote them in Cadbury purple though so if they aren't kind, hey, just think of them as symbolic of that glass and a half of full cream dairy milk goodness! The day after I was married and the first day of my honeymoon. Sydney Australia, Four Seasons in Darling Harbour - the honeymoon suite with late checkout. Pissing down with rain and the bloody room had a leak. I had words with management who happened to be on duty during our checkout and asked about our stay. The wife was a little embarrassed. She got over it though when they genuinely apologised and we scored a free cooked brunch out of it and were given a box of fine chocolates while we were brunching. The leaky room was not terribly inconvenient for us.
I totally hear you in relation to the stress and just getting it over with. My wife was rather insistent though and friends and family were invited. Due to the nature of where I was married and the idea that it was 5 hours flight from my place of residence, my reception occurred a week or so later and the same day we arrived back at stupid O'clock in the morning after a 5 hour stop off in Adelaide on the Friday night. We didn't pay for the flights but we arrived rather bleary eyed, bearing in mind we were something like 2 hours out of whack with our timezone and all the post marriage excitement, I was struggling and had some party prep to complete.
It was an evening event, shops were due to open but we had to wait. We then ran around making sure everything was in order, mainly food and drink and by lunch time we had everything sorted. I was absolutely knackered, went to bed around 2PM and when my wife tried to rise me a couple of hours later I said something like," I'm tired, grumpy and completely over it. I don't get the whole party thing, We celebrated our engagement, we've been a couple of long enough. If people want to celebrate and throw a party because we're married they can and we've generously provided the means for them to do that. I tried to go back to sleep but eventually I succumbed to her pleading or what I've since learnt to refer to as nagging.
We showed up a little late and while I enjoyed the food, including parts of the profiterole custom built wedding cake, I was so tired and in no mood for giving speeches, parading in front of people, making small talk or in any way, shape or form, engaging with people full stop. Mormon's don't drink alcohol and I'd been one for a couple of years by that stage. Alcohol was BYO and there was a bit of it floating around, I was so in the mood for some scotch and was pretty close to downing some. I didn't want to be there and I'm sure it was written all over my face. I put myself through it of course and it wasn't quite as painful as the photo session on the wedding day but thankfully, I won't need to go through any of that again. We all have stories to tell, rain hail or shine I'm sure it will be perfectly yours and it will provide opportunity for you to bear witness to each other of the love you share. It will be a beautiful day because of that. That's all that matters.
I look forward to hearing from you and R35T about the party. Unless of course, you both drink yourself silly and neither of you can bloody remember, which is a distinct possibility in which case you need to ensure the videographer gets all of it and you post it online so us poor sods who can't make it can be entertained be part of the experience with you. Crikey! While not exactly the same thing, here's something similar to what was going through my mind. Some of that is Bill and Ted, right? I've not seen that film either.
If you get around to it and enjoy science fiction and action thrillers you may enjoy The Matrix. Keanu Reeves seems to do that I'm awestruck dumb woah thing really well.
this is probably a bit deep and I'm not sure that anyone will get what I mean.
Your message and the invite affected me in ways which I didn't expect.. Such candid openness and expressions of affection complete with very personal contact information and an open invite to be part of a very intimate occasion expressed on an internet forum by a person with your life experience and internet nous has caused me to mentally reel. It sort of unravels reality for me and takes me back to my online social experiences prior to the internet - dial up BBS from around 1990 to 1994, I was heavily into BBS culture. Every other week, someone was throwing a cocktail party, BBQs, movies, event or just a get together and hang out. whether it be at the Casino, the beach or helping someone shift house or whatever.
Then the internet came along and that mostly changed, Despite what has been gained through a broader community, I lament the loss of those days when we were more than just online acquaintances.
Your post is quite conceivably the most courageous, generous and nostalgically beautiful thing that I've experienced online since this time in 1993. |

Don't worry, not at you.  I got less than half way through replying (you are the king of wall of texts BTW) and I accidently pressed back on my phone. So lost all my post. When I use my tablet, it remembers my post and gives me the option to restore it. My phone doesn't! So, unfortunately, I'm going to leave replying till tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, I go to bed pretty early on weekdays, if I started all over again it would be past my bedtime by the time I'd be done. |

Congrats you two! I’m sure it will be great. As DW said, if it’s wasn't 4K miles, I’d love to be there.

Ok I'll try this again, but so I don't miss anything I'll do it in this shade of blue.The font, I think, is Black Chancery. I felt like it was a nice fit for the style of the invite. Lol, Cadbury purple is my favourite shade of purple. It makes me happy (probably because of the chocolate inside the wrapper) Happy is a good thing, as is Chocolate. Black Chancery, that's a cool name for a font. I think I mentioned that I do like the font and like it more now.Skulls are cool. If you want to put meaning to the skull and rose, the way I would interpret it would be the rose for love and the skull for death. Marriage is supposed to be "until death do us part" after all. But mostly, I just like them I'm personally not that into skulls or death heads. Symbolically to me they represent coldness, harsh, pain, death. The colour softens the harshness of death with your impression as does the patterned artwork within the skulls themselves. I wasn't really seeking you to think about a meaning for me and It looks like I erroneously assumed that there was a deliberate meaning beyond "you like them". There's absolutely no need for another reason. For me, not relative specifically to the invite, just in general, skulls are a positive thing. Like when you've lived your life, whether it be long or short, that's all that's left (well a skeleton but I like those too lol). Family and friends will have memories of you but eventually they are gone too. Although a skull is death, I prefer to see them as life. A life has been lived.
My favourite are sugar/candy skulls, they're highly decorated and, for me, they don't have any of the negativity that you associate with them.
I know you didn't need me to give you a reason, but in the interest of conversation I did anyway 
Another English lady friend of mine likes skulls and roses and leather and lace too, pleasure and pain. I personally don't get it. A male friend of mine is into hot rods with features a lot of flames and skulls which again I don't really get. I don't mean to interrogate or be overly analytical. It's just my way of trying to make sense of foreign things and people. Sounds like my kind of lady 
It sounds like you're too hard on yourself and you get flummoxed easily. You don't need to understand everyone, I imagine trying to is pretty stressful. As long as people aren't doing any harm, it's easier just to live and let live.I've learned that myself petty recently. For the record though, I'm a pretty open book, if you ever want to know anything or have trouble with something I've said, just ask.When you say marriage is supposed to be "until death do us part". I guess secularly, that's how the law interprets. Marriage means different things to different people. I'm a religious guy, I married in a Latter Day temple which according to the LDS faith extends marriage to time and eternity.Although I'm not religious, I always thought that the traditional vows, including "until death do us part" were derived from a religion. We won't be using traditional vows anyway, I only mentioned it in a way to justify skulls on my invite.
I don't really know anything about Mormonism, but that's nice. The extension of marriage beyond death sounds pretty romantic, even if I don't believe. I'm not against another's beliefs but religion, in general, is a whole other conversation for me.
For what it's worth, I had my wedding reception on the 21st October too, that was back in 2000, My wedding invites had gold, champagne and cream tones but me, not having the talent to create or print the artwork, I bought premade versions with envelopes. I did add words and personalised each invite and envelope. Wedding buddies!! Your invites sound lovely, maybe a bit too traditional for us though. There's nothing wrong with buying premade. I would have done too, would have saved a lot of time and people would have had a physical invite rather than crappy Facebook. Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully it will be a nice day, but I will also be relieved when it is all over. I'm not one of these girls that has dreamed of her wedding since she was a little girl. All the organising stuff is way too stressful. I just wanted to sign our names on some paper then go get a bunch of cocktails. R35T wouldn't let me.

Sounds like way to much faff. The things you (have to) do for love.
It was an evening event, shops were due to open but we had to wait. We then ran around making sure everything was in order, mainly food and drink and by lunch time we had everything sorted. I was absolutely knackered, went to bed around 2PM and when my wife tried to rise me a couple of hours later I said something like," I'm tired, grumpy and completely over it.

I tried to go back to sleep but eventually I succumbed to her pleading or what I've since learnt to refer to as nagging. When you say "We", you mean you helped your wife sort everything out? Wow, plus points for you! I've been doing most of it on my own. I know women usually want to be in control of everything to do with a wedding but, fucking hell, I hate it!
I can really relate to you not wanting a big hoopla. My plans were incredibly simple, and now we have to do all this stuff to make it a nice day for everyone else. I mean "Hello, this is supposed to be our day, how we would like it. Why am I running around doing all this for everyone elses benefit?" I didn't care about flowers. I have hayfever! But "you must have flowers!". I didn't care about food. Guests have the ability to order pizza, do they not? "But at least do a buffet!" Same as you, my opinion was, we've been together long enough to show that we're a good couple and we've not given up on each other during the bad times, we love each other. We just wanted to make it official so to speak.
We showed up a little late and while I enjoyed the food, including parts of the profiterole custom built wedding cake, I was so tired and in no mood for giving speeches, parading in front of people, making small talk or in any way, shape or form, engaging with people full stop.

I put myself through it of course and it wasn't quite as painful as the photo session on the wedding day but thankfully, I won't need to go through any of that again. Glad to hear eventually you enjoyed it somewhat at least, even if it was just the food! Your cake sounds awesome! I love profiteroles. The cake is probably the thing I'm looking forward to most lol. You sound like me, I don't like being the center of attention at all. I'm going to have to have a few drinks to even get up in front of everyone to say my vows  Thankfully I can drink and I'll need a steady flow of it to get me through the whole thing We all have stories to tell, rain hail or shine I'm sure it will be perfectly yours and it will provide opportunity for you to bear witness to each other of the love you share. It will be a beautiful day because of that. That's all that matters.
I look forward to hearing from you and R35T about the party. Unless of course, you both drink yourself silly and neither of you can bloody remember, which is a distinct possibility in which case you need to ensure the videographer gets all of it and you post it online so us poor sods who can't make it can be entertained be part of the experience with you. I'm sure it will be nice in the end and all the stress will be worthwhile. I know it sounds like I'm not looking forward to it but I am. Only because of R35T though. The moment I'm looking forward to the most is at the end of it all. When we get home. It's just us and we'll probably do something really mundane, like watch a film on the sofa but we'll be doing it as husband and wife. Those little things are what I appreciate the most. We never needed a big show and dance to show that we love each other. We've proved it every day that we've been together. Now I'm going to shut up before I get all soppy and romantic  I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to share, maybe a video or two. Guests are going to be our photographers, I don't want to pay one to tell me "just take a little step to the right and pretend that you don't think this is incredibly awkward." We'll get more natural photos that way too. As above, I'll definitely be a bit drunk and silly! Someone is sure to get a video of me drunk dancing to embarrass me with (I can't even dance sober).Some of that is Bill and Ted, right? I've not seen that film either.
this is probably a bit deep and I'm not sure that anyone will get what I mean.Your message and the invite affected me in ways which I didn't expect.. Such candid openness and expressions of affection complete with very personal contact information and an open invite to be part of a very intimate occasion expressed on an internet forum by a person with your life experience and internet nous has caused me to mentally reel. It sort of unravels reality for me and takes me back to my online social experiences prior to the internet - dial up BBS from around 1990 to 1994, I was heavily into BBS culture. Every other week, someone was throwing a cocktail party, BBQs, movies, event or just a get together and hang out. whether it be at the Casino, the beach or helping someone shift house or whatever. Then the internet came along and that mostly changed, Despite what has been gained through a broader community, I lament the loss of those days when we were more than just online acquaintances. Well I've interacted with people on this/the other forum for years, had a lot of fun conversations, learned things about people and made friends. I see the forum as a little community, and just like any friend in real life, I think it would be nice to share this day with you guys. As for the personal information, I trust people here. While I know the forum is open to view by guests I'm not too worried about it. If someone wants to be weird and call me, breathing down the phone like a crazy person, I can handle that. I'm not easily intimidated. If someone unexpected wants to show up randomly at our wedding reception to cause drama, as long as they're not there to cause any physical harm, I wouldn't be bothered by that either. Maybe it would even be a funny distraction lol. I did know the risks but I thought they were worth it anyway.
I was only born in 1989 so I have no idea what you're talking about. I do remember the awful sound that dial up made, but that's about it. It sounds awesome though, a definite shame that it changed for you. Maybe you could start up something similar now, get some of it back. Relive a time you were fond of!
Your post is quite conceivably the most courageous, generous and nostalgically beautiful thing that I've experienced online since this time in 1993. I'm not really used to many people saying such nice things, mostly because I never know how to respond to it. Probably something to do with my upbringing.
So I'm just going to say "Thanks"

All the best to you both! I wish I could attend, but it's a bit of a drive.

Congratulations to you both! I always thought you two were married, so I'm glad to hear you are officially tying the knot. If I wasn't 7,700 km away I'd be there! Just seen this. And thought some other Mancunians sum it up pretty well |

Grats!
21st?
Alas I'm visiting in laws that week, after a weekend dressed as an elf hitting other geeks with swords.

For anyone who lives local(ish) or is willing to travel... I put a lot of effort into making the invites look nice, not so much on the wording! "Children welcome" now Jester has no excuse.  |

Congrats guys, if I could drive that far without being in pain I'd come along (anything for free cake)
You could always stop being selfish and get married in Plymouth then go to America and have a blessing. I mean some people, it's always about you isn't it. 😬

New plan, set up a training room and you (T71) and R35t (E5)can be the happy couple, Jester (E4) can officiate. Snore (T-Rex) and LT (Locust) can be flower girls and I (E100) can finally be the bridesmaid I've always wanted to be. Yeah, so what if my painkillers have kicked in.  |

OK, let's see if I can get some pics on here! That's less than 10% of the pics that got sent to me. After looking through them for so long last night and this morning I can't take it anymore There's a video of me (kinda) dancing but after the trouble I had getting it on FB, I'm not attempting it here. There's also a video (2 actually) of our speaches, but I'm praying they will never be seen by anyone, other than the two that filmed them... And all the guests that were witness to them |

Happy is a good thing, as is Chocolate. Black Chancery, that's a cool name for a font. I think I mentioned that I do like the font and like it more now.
Thankfully I can drink and I'll need a steady flow of it to get me through the whole thing
