Attire

This will be a non-stuffy wedding in late summer, partly outdoors but mostly indoors. We have no strong feelings on the matter.

    Grace and Chris,
    I regret that I will not be able to attend you wedding on August 29.
    I am moving on August 31–this is kind of sudden. Had been thinking about this, but,
    an apartment came up and I will take it.

    congratulations to both of you.

    Love
    Dee Gallagher
