Dear Axl,

I’m writing again to ask you to perform at my wedding celebration.

Just yesterday the missus and I went up to Napa and Sonoma to scout out locations for the party. We checked out two pretty sweet pads, but they had flaws too. The first place was spacious and open with rows of grapevines, a nice (if small) pool, a barbecue area, and even a small pond with an island. However, it’s right by the main road leading into Sonoma, and the last thing we want is the hum of passing traffic interfering with top-shelf rock n’ roll. The other place was more secluded, up in the Napa hills on a private road with a stunning view of Napa Valley. Unfortunately, it was a little too hilly and hard to get around (we have to consider grandma) and there isn’t really a good location for everyone to congregate in one area and do some headbanging. Unless you count the tennis court, which seemed a little cheesy.

So the hunt continues! If you have any special requests for our wedding, such as a huge stage, professional sound system, a trailer stocked with tequila, etc, please let us know sooner rather than later and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Turning to Guns N’ Roses news, I want to congratulate you on setting some June tour dates for Guns N’ Roses in Europe. It’ll be great to get the band out on the road, hear the new material, see you fans, and knock off the rust. The timing couldn’t be better—by the time you finish up abroad, your chops should be warmed up and ready to truly blow the roof off our wedding celebrations (scheduled for late July)! Also, it’ll be a perfect time to release the new album: I’ve heard autographed CDs make excellent wedding presents.

Unfortunately, I haven’t heard from you lately, although I’ve been keeping track of your activities via the news and a few online chat groups. Your 44^th birthday party looked like a blast (you have my belated best wishes!) as well as your recent trip to a Victoria Secret party (hey, how could that NOT be fun?). Along with my wife, family, and friends, I earnestly hope you’ll consider our request to perform at our wedding celebration and make our party one for the ages.

Best,

Matt Stewart
