This weekend I was given an informal wedding invite (or at least it said that a formal invite was to follow) for a friend's wedding next year. Two things impressed me with the invite.
The first was that inside the invite was a fridge magnet that had the people/date/time of the wedding so you wouldn't forget. This is most certainly a very good idea and as soon as I can get round to it I'm going to put mine up on the fridge.
The second great idea is that the wedding is going to be on a Friday. Now most weddings tend to be on Saturdays (even though this is traditionally seen as an unlucky day to wed) for a varity of reason, probably many of them work related. This is fine when people put work down as more important than whatever they get up to at weekends. However as an archer, weekends are when I go to competitions and over the last couple of years I have missed out on tournaments as wedding duties have applied. On the upside this is a wedding between archers and they fully understand the nature of competing at the weekends and that of waiting to compete during the weekdays.
In fact, the bride has allowed the groom-to-be to go to a football match the weekend before the wedding on the sole condition that she's allowed to go shooting on the Sunday after the wedding.
We are a crazy bunch of people...
