You have just learned that your friend has recently become engaged. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter ● tell him/her how you found out ● explain how you feel about the news ● organise to meet your friend for a celebration

Dear Mike, Hope you are doing well. It's been a long time since we met after graduation. I felt very happy to hear that recently you have engaged and it is very good news for not only me but
also
our friends indeed. As I said, I went to one of our friend's daughter's birthday ceremony in that I heard that you have been engaged to a lovely girl, who is your colleague in the same organization. Once I listened to that news I cannot control my happiness because you have engaged to a girl, who is very close to you.
Further
, you are going to marry on March 12th. So, I decided to meet on the day of your marriage,
however
, I felt sad that I did not attend your engagement ceremony
due to
unavoidable work.
Further
, I would like to inform you that why can't we meet after your marriage,
In addition
, it is the best moment to introduce your wife to my family. So, we can have a small celebration on the day as well. Hope you will consider my request, I would like to hear from you. Best wishes, Ravi
