| Okay, the short version - destination wedding, been planning it a long time but due to many unexpected complications, my fiance and I are now eloping instead. It almost seems like fate b/c it was what we wanted to do anyway, then changed our plans to include others, and then had to cancel our other plans. Our invitations even arrived late, so we want to change them to announcements instead. Here is the wording for our message in a bottle announcement, would love some feedback:"Far away from snow and the cold winter wind’s howl, barefoot on the beach they will be excited for what is about to follow. They knew it from the day they met that fate had played a role. They were just so right for each other, two halves destined to become one beloved soul.Beside the ocean hand in hand, casting shadows amidst the tide, he will become her loving husband and she will forever be his bride."Bride" and "Groom" joyfully announce that they will be married at a private beach ceremony... etc." |

| I think it's nice. It sounds exactly like the kind of wedding I wanted but didn't have. Good for you for doing it *your* way! |

| I like it except for "they will be excited for what is about to follow". It is a little too wordy and could be a bit more poetic. The rest is great though. Congrats and good luck. |

| I think that if I want bad poetry, I'll subscribe to college magazines. There is a formal format for formal announcements for a reason. Please save yourself embarrassment and use that format. I know that sounds harsh now, but in years to come when your relatives are teasing you about your cheesy wedding poem, you'll be glad you went with tradition. |
