Question of Calligraphy

I have always loved the written word. I think that it is so romantic. If something important and lovely needs to be said to me, please do it by hand-written letter and send it in the mail. I love font, text, stationary, pens, you name it, I looooove it. So, when it comes to one of the most important pieces of mail that I may ever send, I am going all out! I did not choose many extravagant extrs for my wedding. In fact, it is pretty low key and simple. Beucase of this fact, I decided that even though most people will throw my envelopes away after opening our invitation, I am still going to splurge for calligraphy :) Yes! I am soooo excited about it. The color of the ink is perfect and this woman is so talented it's ridiculous. (How come people don't have beautiful handwriting anymore)? So I have narrowed my choice of handwriting down to two: Now I need your help! Please leave me a comment telling me if you like the "Elizabeth" or "James" sample better....PLEASE!!


So, even if you aren't normally a commenting type of blog reader, please change your mind, just for tonight, and let me know your thoughts! Thank you sooooo much in advance :)
