Wedding Invite Rewrite

This is probably the single most unique wedding announcement I have ever seen. I got it in the mail this week and I honestly love it. Now keep in mind we have received a lot of wedding announcements over the years. After all, Hema did serve as a counselor and bishop in a BYU singles ward for 6 years! (And let's face it those wards exist to get people married!) This is the actual announcement I scanned in: 

Of course I deleted their last names! The funny thing is that they were both in our BYU ward when they met. I've often wondered what happened to some of the couples from back then. Don't you sometimes wish you got an announcement like this from every couple. I like to know a little detail! Just for your entertainment, I thought I'd type our own dating history in this same fun style:

 
HEMA AND BECKY MEET WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL (1990)
TWO KIDS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AT A LUAU... IN A TRAILER PARK 
THEY NOTICE EACH OTHER - THEY GO TO HARDEES - NOTHING HAPPENS
____________________________________________

(1990-1992) THEIR PATHS CROSS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AT DANCES
THEY HANG OUT AS FRIENDS ALL THE TIME - HEMA NEVER ASKS BECKY OUT
HEMA IS AWKWARD - BECKY IS AWKWARD - NOTHING HAPPENS
___________________________________________
      
         BECKY GOES TO BYU                        HEMA GOES TO THE U OF U
  AND THEN ON A MISSION                     AND THEN ON A MISSION
   TO BRAZIL                                               TO CALIFORNIA
BECKY WRITES HEMA MANY TIMES        HEMA WRITES BECKY TWICE 

(1995) BECKY SEES HEMA AT TEMPLE SQUARE 
A WEEK AFTER SHE RETURNS FROM BRAZIL - HE ASKS HER FOR A RIDE HOME
THEY HANG OUT A LOT MORE - NOTHING HAPPENS 
(THEY ARE BOTH OBVIOUSLY STILL AWKWARD!)

BECKY'S FRIEND COMES TO VISIT AND FLIRTS WITH HEMA
SOMETHING BETTER NOT HAPPEN! BECKY TAKES HER STRAIGHT TO THE AIRPORT
HEMA AND BECKY START TO DATE, SPARKS FLY
THEY DATE   -  THEY BREAK UP   -   THEY GET BACK TOGETHER

         (HEMA DRIVES TO OREM)    <------>    (BECKY DRIVES TO SALT LAKE)

THEY FALL IN LOVE AND DECIDE TO MARRY

Yeah, these type of announcements would be much more interesting! Don't you think?
Best wishes to Derek and Brooke! Glad they are finally getting married!
