Greetings!
Dear family and friends,
Thank you so much for being part of our special day! As our little invitation indicates, we will be celebrating our marriage by going to a very relaxed evening at the Free Trade Inn pub - a place where we spent many hours enjoying a beer and the view. This will be after we've had a small ceremony with close friends and family.
We've set up a tab with Free Trade which should get everyone 2 free drinks at least - it's nothing too fancy as we're unfortunately having to move twice in the next months. We really just want you to join us and have a pint and tell us how incredible we are!
If you're struggling to find accommodation, please give us a shout and we'll see if we can do anything. And if you want any food recommendations, places to go, what to see - there is a list of things further below.
Last but not least, we have been together and also have lived together for a while so we really have everything we need. We don't expect anything but if you do feel like giving, we'd be grateful for any contributions to our honeymoon! Please tell us whether you want us to send you a picture to show you what we have used your contribution for and we'll try to send it as letter.
Love you all and see you soon,
Kas and Melek
