Dear John and Alice,

I hope you are doing well and very happy with this new moment in your lifes.

Infortunally I had an emergency that blocked me to attend to your wedding. A familiar of mine passed away after fighting an entire year against a terrible disease. I had to support my parents at that painful moment. It’s part of life and my role as a son and member of a lovely family.

I felt myself in a bad situation having to do this choice, because we have a great historical of friendship and you two are only married now because you met each other in my birthday on 2020.

I’m so sorry for not attend to your special moment, but I’m looking forward to have you again next week in my house, so that we can celebrate this special happenig with joy as you both deserve.

My best wishes and apologies,

your friend, Brian.
