"I guess we have to get married for sure now."

It is about time; the invitations are printed, and, as I type this, Natalie is busy writing addresses and producing the invitation "package" complete with invitation, reply card, reply envelope and extra info.

In the absence of a gluestick, we're doing a lot of licking. It's not that bad... I've tried to convince Natalie that the glue sort of tastes like maple syrup... mmmm, pancakes.

The road to complete invitations has been a long one. We started out in January looking in the typical places for pre-made invitations, but, after some searching through numerous binders of that stuff, we realized that they weren't for us. 'Cause, really, we weren't interested in purchasing some invitations we didn't quite like for some obscene amount of money. After all that looking, we started to notice that the types of invitations we liked were simple, black and white and of an unscripted font. The solution was so much better than using someone else's invitation: we designed our own, bought some snazzy paper and envelopes and had everything professionally printed. Quality up. Cost down. Happiness up. Stress unchanged.

So you should be receiving your invitation shortly, either by mail or hand delivery. Hopefully, we can get all this done before Dr. Who tonight. (wow, was that geeky? yikes... the shape of things to come in the Le Bray/Sit household.)

As Natalie so eloquently put it, it seems as though we have to get married now. I mean, you're all invited to a big party, so that pretty much seals the deal. Fortunately, I'm not too upset about that.
