Dear Smith,

I hope this letter finds you well. I’m writing to invite you on guess what? My wedding. I am getting married on 7th October 2024. I know you must be excited after reading this and you always wanted to attend a Pakistani wedding and believe me you are going to enjoy all the ceremonies that are attached to the actual wedding.

I told you about my cousin Ali in a previous letter. We used to be working together and then we both started liking each other. We decided to take our relationship further and are now going to be husband and wife.

You must come one week in advance because our ring ceremony is on 1st October and then after two days we will have the Mehndi function. I am sure you will enjoy the taste of folk traditions and culture where you will have a variety of food such as Biryani, BBQ, famous pan and so many. The main function which we called; Barat will be on October 6th, and finally the reception will be on next day on October 7th.

You’ve always been there for me, smith, in good and bad times. That’s why your presence on this big day is going to be very valuable to me.

See you on my wedding day then.

Yours with love

Hira Sattar
