When you marry a sheriff, you don't get invited to the wedding. You get summoned.
Imagine checking your mail after work on an average day and taking out an envelope stamped URGENT, with "NOTICE TO APPEAR" running across in big, bold letters.
Your first thought is probably, "oh no, what did I do?"
"Oh no, what did I do" is not the ideal reaction to a wedding invitation, but it was the reaction in this situation when the happy couple decided on a themed invite.
The theme? You are being summoned to appear before the court at our wedding.
Unconventional? Yes. Clever? Absolutely. A prank that not everyone would appreciate?
Definitely.
We do have take a moment to appreciate the sheer creativity of it, though, whether you think this is a good idea or not. First of all, the groom is a sheriff, which makes this drum-rimshot funny. And then, just look at the amazing details. The barcode says, "Congrats, Matt & Nancy." In the bottom righthand corner, the document is marked "Invitee Copy." The badge of the sheriff is right on top, all official like.
We salute you, Matt and Nancy. This will be one invitation people will think twice about putting on their fridge.
