Husbands: 1 (v.v.g.)

I'll write about the ceremony and the reception properly when we're back from honeymoon in a couple of weeks but, in a nutshell: everything was lovely, everybody was lovely, and I spent most of the evening in a sort of delighted daze. I'm so glad so many people could make it, sorry to have missed the people who couldn't, and sad that we couldn't invite everybody!

This afternoon, in the queue at the Co-op,

addedentry suddenly started quietly singing "Wife, wife, wife, wife" to the tune of the Monty Python spam song, and I keep grinning every time I think about it. :-)

1. Is there any non-offensive way to say to people (who have misinterpreted our probably-confusing invitations-and-website nonsense and RSVPd to say they will be pleased to come to the wedding) "I'm sorry but the invite was only to the reception (because the actual wedding is v small)"? I just feel as though any way of saying it feels really horrible but we honestly can't fit everybody in. :-(

2. Is it even worse to ask this on my LJ where a) inevitably some people reading this will not have been invited to either (all other things being equal, this would still be a world-readable journal and the venue would still be finite) and b) everybody will think "oh noes are they talking about me?".

3. Might it be better to just shoot myself now?
