Thirty days to go. And here’s the wedding card we would have printed if we had our way:
Dear XYZ/Respected XYZ,
We are soon getting married, but do not get excited.
We like to keep things simple, so you’re not invited.
We saw you at a wedding kicking up a fuss
And we are not having the same done to us
You will “misread the route” and come hours late
And we’ll just wish you had misread the date
You will dress up all fine, and land up at the venue
And criticize the décor, the music and the menu
You will eat till the floor under your feet is shaken
And then clamber onstage and have your picture taken
You will get us a gift that we will never use
So you are not coming. Pliss to excuse!
Our parents, perhaps, if they love you a little more
Will have a box of laddoos delivered at your door.
Regards
Bride and Groom

I highly approve.
But I don't think you should tell anyone about your wedding, I think you should just say you're gonna live in sin.
:)
wish I was as cool when I got married
"living in sin"
Lol! Such a quaint phrase.
My next wedding, this is the card I'm gonna use! ;-)
Hi Inkspill
Congratulations and best wishes for the new chapter of your life.
But its good that you are keeping it a low key affair and we don't have to take the trouble of dressing up and deliver a 'smiling uncle/aunt' performance.
Weddings are a boring affair for most of the guests and the time/money that go into them is such a waste.
and ah yes, tell your parents not to bother about the ladoos - both of us are diabetic.
Yours XYZ

Telling you that I liked the way you write does not help you much except helping readers like me get another helping of your helpless but hopeful marriage stories.
In simple words, please keep writing.
