Honey and I decided to compliment our wedding ring stamps, by giving our invitations an even more romantic touch (yah, we're hopeless) by mailing them from Loveland. We wanted that silly, lovely cancellation mark on the envelopes. You know, like the ones the Post Office does for Valentine's Day?
So, we took a 3 hour trip, drove approximately 100 miles, and stopped a Loveland mailman to ask which post office to go to. He was very nice and helpful and directed us to the 29th Street Station. We parked, walked in, mailed our invitations, all the while grinning at each other like a coupla goofy teenagers. We were both thinking the same thing: nevermind the Valentine hearts, flowers or romantic verses stuff. The simple word "Loveland" says it all.
We mailed ourselves a wedding invitation as a keepsake. When it arrived, we were completely surprised. The postmark read "Denver". Denver? We looked at each other. Denver??? What's up with that? Don't the residents of Loveland get their own town's postmark on their their mail? Why would a town (and not such a small town at that) get a cancellation stamp from another town 50 flippin' miles away?
Crud. Crap! We drove all that way for nothin'. :-(
For those of you who got a mailed invitation, take a thin Sharpie and write the word "Loveland" over the postmark, would ya? That's what we meant for you to see ....
