A TOUCH OF CLASS

myspace layouts


Having espied a picture of a certain much coveted wedding invitation online, I printed a copy on good card, wrote my hairdresser's name on it and presented it to him.  He immediately put it on display in the salon and all that afternoon, clients came in, gaped at it and then exclaimed,

"E vero? Sei invitato, Raffaele?!"  ["Is it true? Are you invited, Raffaele?!"]  

I just sat there, making the occasional nonchalant reference to la mia amica, la regina.

I also printed copies for some of my young students, one of whom expressed her surprise at the invitation's restrained format thus:

"Ma è così semplice!"  ["It's so simple!"]

"That's class, honey", said I.

I wouldn't mind being at Westminster Abbey on April 29!

What fun, I must go and take a look at this invitation, which of course now lets you know that I have not been invited :(

Josep and LindyLouMac, I'm sure your invitations are in the post! Have you got yours yet, WW?
