Is this right?

Mr. and Mrs. William F. XXXXX
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter

Sarah-Lisa Marie
to
Joseph Michael

son of Ms. Turid XXX and the late Anthony XXX
on Sunday, November 12, 2006
at twelve forty-five in the afternoon
at St. Edward the Confessor Roman Catholic Church
Syosset, New York

Is the date supposed to be like that? Is it supposed to be spelled out? Why am I an idiot all of a sudden?

Sunday, the twelfth of November, two-thousand six. Is that how you do it? How do you spell 'twelfth?' I should have picked an easier spelled day to get married!

Do I just end it like that?

Is something missing?


HELP!

you might want to put the street address of the church.

Also, I put my FH's last name so it was less confusing.....my cousin had just her FH's first and middle and people wrote checks out to his 'middle name' as the last name.

i.e. people might write checks to Mr and Mrs Michael.

esp if his Mom is remarried...people MIGHT get confused with the last name.

Two thousand and six
at quarter to one in the afternoon

I would say quarter to one in the afternoon. I believe this is more formal.

You don't even need to put the 'on' before the date....

Yeah... I purposely avoided doing that so that people didn't mistake it for 1:15!

more like, people just don't read carefully at all!
so I'd rather they had 'two' floating around their head than 'three'

maybe i'll draw a diagram of a clock!
