Hey James ,
Hope you are doing well. I am writing to congratulate you on getting engaged to your long-time friend
Hannah
.
I am really happy for you after hearing this
great news about your engagement with Hannah
. I got to know about it from Sara who lives in your neighbourhood and is close friends with Hannah
. I was quite amused as I got to know about it from her and not you !
I hadn't ever thought that you would get engaged so soon , but I am elated to know about the new beginnings of your life.
I'm throwing a party to celebrate this
special occasion of your life at my place.I am inviting you and Hannah
as chief guests of this
party. Please do let me know when you're available for the celebrations, as I need to make up for the necessary arrangements in advance. I know you both must be pretty busy , but I shall be glad if you could accept my invitation
.Congratulations once again!
Much love,
