Sample Answer:
Dear Patric,
I hope you are well and in a good mood when you receive this letter. I want to share good news with you.
I’m happy to let you know that Stela, my colleague, and I are getting married. I feel extremely fortunate to have found a life partner as amazing as her. We have shared many wonderful moments together.
The wedding is planned to happen at Courtyard Nashville, Toronto on 20th November 2023. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 6pm and will be followed by a joyous, humorous, and delectable reception. To make the day special, we’ve planned a number of activities, such as unity candle lighting, Holy Communion, pronouncement of marriage, nuptial blessing, and the cutting of the wedding cake.
I would be ecstatic if you could attend our wedding. Without your friendship, I could not have imagined enjoying this special day. Your presence will make our celebrations even more joyful. I know the distance might be difficult, but I really hope you can make it.
Looking forward to celebrate this happy occasion with you.
Sincere regards,
Daniel
