Ann,

I phoned Carol last night and she told me again how thrilled Jenny and Janey are to be included in your wedding party. It meant a lot to her, and to me, that you asked them to share your special day. They are all so excited about visiting England. The girls have never been abroad before, you know. Carol and Dick have visited Canada and Mexico, of course, but never "crossed the pond" as they say. Patricia, Joel and the boys are definitely making the trip, but Ned and Janet probably won’t come as he still isn’t well and they rarely travel far. Your father is disappointed, but we’re hoping that you and Simon will be able to come over again before too long and celebrate with everyone here. We’ve booked our tickets for the 27^th of July so we’ll have a few weeks together before the Big Day.

Love,

Mother
