Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

My husband and I planned a big wedding in our home town for September 20. We were able to have it because we were still under mandatory evacuation due to Hurricane Ike. We went ahead and got married in Orange Beach, AL on a sailboat at sunset. Now we want to have a reception for all of the people who weren’t able to make it.

Does anyone have any unique idea for invitation wording?
