Just wanted to add: I just dropped it off to have it matted and framed. The lady at the store said that this Apostolic blessing is more 'posh' than the others she has seen.
So, there is a chance that this one is 'special' since it was requested by a Catholic Bishop (my mom's cousin)
My officiant is my mom's cousin, a Catholic Bishop. So, he requested it and presented it to us at the end of our wedding ceremony.
He requested it way in advance. It is signed February 12, 2004. (My last name was spelled wrong, but he requested it before we even mailed out our invites, so I don't think he realized)

Before the 2004 election we agreed to send an invite to the President, whoever it was.
It will be nice to have a note from President Bush - though I'm also sending an invite to John Kerry, my first choice!

Those are great. I couldnt in my heart invite our current president. I'd invite Clinton though - alone. Hillary is not a fave of mine.

Yes, me too. Very nice idea though.
I actually had a dream that Clinton married us. Sorry to hijack.

I'm jealous! I wish I had sent one to the Pope. I just ran out of time and only sent it to the President. It would have been nice to have!

The White House Attn: Scheduling Office Washington, District of Columbia 20502
You might receive a papal blessing by sending an invitation to the Pope. His address is:
Pope John Paul the Second Prefettura della Casa Pontifica 00120 Citta del Vaticano, Italia
It's said that the Queen of England might send her regrets if she receives an invitation. Her address is:
The Secretary to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Buckingham Palace London, England SW1A 1AA
Some notable celebrities who you might want to include...
Oprah Winfrey 1058 West Washington Boulevard Chicago, Illinois 60607

We do hope you will receive a memory to treasure as a result of at least one of these addresses!
