DEAR FAMILY & FRIENDS
Hello Everybody!
We are incredibly excited to invite you to our wedding on July 14, 2018! We thought long and hard about how and where we wanted to celebrate our marriage. After weighing a lot of options we decided on a destination wedding in Porto, Portugal. Like we already said, we are stoked and await your response with hopeful anticipation.
You might be thinking, why Portugal? Perhaps the best answer is that over course of several trips, Portugal has swept us off our feet. When we travelled there for the first time, we were hardly concerned with whether we would ever get married. Honestly, even if we had felt some inkling of our future back then, we certainly never suspected that within a year we’d get engaged there or that we would enjoy Porto so much that we would want to return with all of you in tow and throw a wedding bash the likes of which the town has never seen! Yet, that's what we have come to, and even though we didn't expect any of this... here we all are!
What else can we say? If you are reading this invitation it means that at some point, we shared a piece of our lives with you. And now, we want to be with you as we celebrate this special event. We know it is a "big ask" for us to impose upon you with this invitation to such a far away place. We're sure more than a few of you will have some reservations about the time and expense. But, our certainty that you will have a wonderful, wonderful time far outweighs our concern over asking you to make the trip. It's a really special place for us and we are giddy at the thought of sharing it with you.
As to the details of our affair, all the information you would ever need in order to make a determination about attending can be found within the pages of this website. We have included our suggestions on everything from travel tips, timelines, estimated expenses, and flight schedules so that with this information it will be easy for you to make a travel plan and say YES! We would be so thrilled and honored to celebrate our love in your company.
This is the official invitation. No further paper invite will follow. Please use this site and the information on it to RSVP and make your travel arrangements.
Love you all, Liz & Tim.
