Reluctant husband-to-be!

Some months to my wedding, i sent out customized I.Vs to few friends of mine. I couldn't help but being blunt in my approach. happy reading..

With gratitude and total submission to God Almighty

I joyfully announce the conjugal union; the instituted

communion between man and woman (some people call it marriage)

of my girlfriend and I come Thursday, 27th of April, 200-.

(Yeah, you read right).

With all the authority vested in me by age, social obligation

and personal desire, I will, gladly yet reluctantly

(sometimes we want to remain single 4ever),

be shedding off the garment of bachelorhood to

become entrap… sorry, enraptured

in the marital bliss as i become a band wearing,

responsible looking, aso ebi wearing

(you know you have to dress like your wife),

in-law-pleasing jolly good husband.

I hereby invite you all to see me off to the point of no return

as I crossover the river of singlehood. Even as I covet

your money, gifts and presence, I earnestly covet your

prayers and blessings. (2 minutes a day is o.k. as-a-matter

-of-fact you can start right after reading this.) I must confess

I use to be scared of marriage but when I remember some

of my old friends enjoy being married, all my worries disappear!

A word of warning to all ye singles out there, you’d better

enjoy your single hood now o, cos you’d be married longer than

you are single and like they say it won’t be all about you again o!

I’ll communicate the details to you soon.

(NB: Just in case you are anxious to bless me before

the day, i'll gladly await your call)

Cheers.
