THE FOLLOWING LETTER WILL BE IN THE WEDDING INVITATIONS:

Dear Family and Friends,

Many changes have happened in our lives since the Save the Date cards were mailed out a few months ago! Joe's National Guard unit will be deploying to Afghanistan in late August for 12 months. Because of this news, the wedding plans have been moved to a new date. The only date available with all of the wedding vendors is August 20, 2011.

This new date does not give us much time to enjoy our marriage before Joe is deployed. Therefore, we decided to have a private exchange of wedding vows on 3/13/11. Because you have shared in our lives, by friendship and love, we hope to celebrate our marriage on August 20, 2011 with all of you.

Due to possible unexpected changes in deployment dates, please follow us on our wedding blog at http://dasonfamily.blogspot.com/ which we will continue to keep updated for our family and friends. If Joe deploys before August 20, 2011, a celebration of marriage will take place upon his return from Afghanistan.

With all our love,
Joe and Caitlin
