I would love that, but it’s probably not a good idea

That’s just *asking* for Rosie or Georgia to wander in in the middle of the night and scream, ‘Mummy, why is Satoshi sleeping in your bed???’

Which would turn into them announcing it to every single person they’ve ever met

Hi Satoshi and Isamu

This is just a quick email to touch base with you about our wedding at the winery on 2 Feb.

I’ve attached the finalised guest list and a draft run sheet. It’s not very big (only twenty people), so hopefully this will be a pretty easy event. The only complicated bit is that we’d like to Zoom in my brother Elias briefly during the reception to give a toast – he won’t be able to make it. Is that okay?

Also: we know you’re our hosts, but Sadie and I hope you’ll consider yourselves our guests too. You’ve been so generous to us – we’d love you to be part of our celebration.

When you’re putting together the final cost of the event, please include yourselves* as part of the headcount – we’d be delighted to subsidise you to eat your own food and drink your own wine.

Best,

JF

*and a +1, if you’d like!

Dear Jonah

Thank you for this information.

Twenty people will be very manageable. As previously discussed, we can accommodate the ceremony outside; but in the case of wet weather, we can hold both ceremony and reception in the cellar door. The Zoom element is no problem.

I have attached the menu for your sign-off, which includes the price per head. It also includes our in-house suggested matched wines.
