She Designed My Wedding Invitation

I want to keep my name private out of respect for her family, who do not know me well. Mei-Ling designed my wedding invitation as a favour, as a friend of a friend. She spent three weeks on something she was not paid for and refused payment when I offered it. She sent me five versions, each one better than the last, with very quiet notes about why she had made each choice. The invitation was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined. I still have it. I still think about the care that went into it.
