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!

simplicity is always key in communication-Far away from snow and a winter wind's howl,barefoot on the beach, excited for what's to follow,From the day they met, fate played a role.They were right for each other, two halves to become one soul.Beside the ocean, shadows amidst the tide,he becomes her loving husband, she forever his bride.

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.

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
