Here's a unique and uplifting story to tell your grandchildren. An elderly couple in Florida received Key West wedding invitation as a message in a bottle. Walking on the beach one day on the east coast of Florida, the couple noticed a glass object freshly washed up on shore. The object contained inside an invitation addressed to "the lucky finder of this bottle... Plus one."
Needless to say, the couple were surprised, but they were enchanted by the romantic idea of sending an invite in such a way, as a message in a bottle. The date of the wedding was nearly a year away. At first, the couple was somewhat skeptical about the whole idea, but they seriously considered driving the six hundred miles on the day in question to attend the ceremony.
They did indeed attend the event a year later. It was held in the morning in a small chapel in Key West. The couple was happily welcomed by the bride and groom, and there was much smiling and shaking of hands and great amusement for all who heard the story. And everyone at the ceremony wanted to hear the story of the bottle where it was sent from and where it was found and who found it.
Apparently, the idea for the invitations were just a promotional thing that their event planner often does for her clients. The event planner was advertising the messages in the bottles as an extra service to be provide alongside the normal or traditional invitations.
There are several wedding planners and specialists who offer these types of invites, but they are more often novelties. Most people don't actually throw them into the ocean! No, more often they are mailed to the invitees through normal mail, but the idea of sending your invites tis way is becoming popular idea.
The young engaged couple had a different idea which made their message in a bottle invites a little more than just a novelty. The event was a long way off, so they thought wouldn't it be an interesting idea to toss their bottles overboard from a cruise ship. It would give the objects enough time to travel the waves and wash up somewhere and anyone finding them to make arrangements to attend the event.
On the third night of their cruise, the happy couple made and addressed exactly ten of the unusual wedding invitations and placed them in water-tight bottles. They sent them over the side of the ship and then nearly forgot about them until the day of the ceremony when two strange couples appeared with the bottles. They shared their stories about how they received Key West wedding invitation as a message in a bottle and then joined in the festivities.
