Dear Gloria,

I am writing to thank you for the wedding invitation!
I am so happy for you and Paul… I feel honored that you invited me to this special day in your lives, even though we have only known each other for 2 months.
I really want to attend it, but because the wedding will be in Australia I am not sure I can afford it. I will take a look at my finances and get back to you.

Thank you, again!

Samantha
