Dear ABC,
I hope you are in the pink of health. I was really elated to receive your letter after such a long time. First of all, accept my congratulations for your wedding which is to be held on the 15th November.
I can make out from the card that it is going to be a big fat traditional Indian wedding, as you had always wanted. You choice of venue for the wedding is also excellent and very well researched. After a relationship of ten years, you and Riya have decided to finally settle down. It is a testimony of your loyalty and commitment.
Even though I am so happy for both of you and I am itching to be present on the wedding day, but it is just not possible for me to attend the wedding. My father-in-law is not keeping a good health and in all probability, he has to undergo a heart transplant surgery around about that time. I am sure you are considerate enough to understand the gravity of the situation.
I understand you will be very disappointed with me. I am sorry for that. But, you know me. If it were possible, I am not the one to wait for a second invitation. Anyways, all the best for your wedding and have a happy married life. I will make sure to pay you a visit as soon as everything settles down. Take care!
Yours Truly,
