Welps, I invited Jimmy Fallon.....

I threw all caution to the wind and invited Jimmy Fallon because I had some extra invitations and I have nothing to lose (plus, liquid courage)! On one hand, I feel like such a fangirling loser for inviting a celebrity to my wedding. But on the other, it's kind of funny! I don't actually expect...

On one hand, I feel like such a fangirling loser for inviting a celebrity to my wedding. But on the other, it's kind of funny! I don't actually expect him to attend (although how cool would that be). At most, a signed photo from his office, or a shout out on Twitter. I don't know. If anything happens, nice. I'll have a story to tell my kids one day.

If not, my wedding will still be a good time. Smiley tongue

I should have taken a photo of the invite being sent at the post office..... I probably should have also invited Steve Higgins....

Ho hum, this should be fun.

    We haven't even sent out STDs and FH has already invited a celeb. At a convention last year, FH verbally invited Eddie McClintock of Warehouse 13.

    @Moonride....mmmmmm Lenny Kravitz I'm a fan! I saw him and Pink in concert years ago at an outdoor arena in Virginia Beach.

    FH and I have a list of celebs we want to send invites:

    David Tennant, Matt Smith, Alex Kingston (who I just found out is going to be at a local convention in November so I'm going to actually meet her!!!), John Barrowman, Tom Baker (can you all tell we're Whovians?), Jenson Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins (FH is a huge Supernatural fan), Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Nathan Fillion and Norman Reedus.

    I felt like a total "fangirling" (ha - love that word, OP!) loser too when I sent invitations with a request for advice/words of encouragement to the entire cast of Arrested Development - LOL. (We got married on a fake holiday that is celebrated on the show - not on purpose but whatevs)

    Then we got the mail about a week later and we had received a handwritten note from RON HOWARD! (He produces the show)

    Totally worth it. Also heard from Henry Winkler (small cast part on the show).

    Yeah, I am a geek and I don't care. It was hugely fun to get those in the mail. Also got stuff from Ron Rivera (Carolina Panthers), White House, and Mickey Mouse.

    Wish we'd sent out more!

    I would commit bigamy.

    @Ruth, I did! It was the first one we got back from a celeb, too. I was sooo excited. I wrote a note on the invitation asking for advice or words of encouragement and expressed that we were fans of the show and that we were getting married on "Cinco de Quattro" (the fake holiday) - so I think that increased the odds of a reply.

    Two minutes of his time, like, made us soooo happy! I'll try to post the pic.

    FH really wants to invite Beyonce and Jay-Z, but I can't find an address! If anyone has it, let me know. I did send one to The Obamas. OP, I could totally see Jimmy Fallon coming to your wedding if you're close enough. He seems so down to earth.

    I should invite everyone Whovian. FH proposed with a TARDIS.

    @Ruth, Alex Kingston is a sweetie. I met her at NYCC last year and she wrote a paragraph in my River Journal. Smiley winking

    I'm going to invite practically half the case of Game of Thrones. Just for fun. We've got a ton of extra invites (only needed 75, but the package I bought came with 100.)

    I really want to invite Chuck Ragan (a singer, he sings in Hot Water Music and has solo stuff) as we'll have a song of him as a first dance song. He's in Grassvalley, so he's not that far Smiley laugh (as long as he won't be on tour then)

    @ Claudia - That's one of FH's favorite shows! I think he'd freak out if one of them responds.

    @ LivelyBride - That is awesome!!!
