I have no genuine desire to get married. Even if I get married one day, I do not want to plan a wedding. Instead, I plan to get eloped in a courthouse, have a nice meal, and then go on a lavish honeymoon. That being said, I do love graphic design.

I used Canva to create my wedding invitation. I choose a minimalist design with some art deco elements. I found a picture of a bride from behind with brown hair so that I didn’t have to find a way to take a picture of myself in a wedding dress. Next was to figure out who I would be marrying. As I swirled the wine in my glass, a realization hit me. The most popular product at Trader Joe’s is their three-dollar wine, also known as “Three-Buck Chuck.” The official name for the brand is Charles Shaw. Unless someone knew off the top of their head that it was the name of a wine, they would think it was the name of an actual person. Thus, my husband-to-be was chosen.

Our wedding reception will occur at Trader Joe’s in Charlottesville, VA. For more information, please call the number on the invitation, which is the store’s number.
