Advice needed on wording for D&D and MtG

Wording for my wedding invites that is.
My fiance is an huge fan of magic the Gather, Dungeons and Dragons, and WOW. I have tried looking places online but haven't come up with anything of the sort. Certainly none of the wedding websites I have gone to have anything of the sort.
So lay it on wording suggestions you might have. I only have (roughly)
"You are invited to experience the beginning of the Journey
Between
Me
And
him
To share in their moments and experience the “yes” to each others checks..."
I'm certainly at a loss. =/

yay for geek weddings =P
Am I going to have to hand in my nerd card because this is a reference to something?
If not, proper grammar would be "him and me".
An old friend has sent you a strange unsolicited note. Arcane runes dance before your eyes as you pore over its contents. Though many of your adventuring days are behind you, it would seem that his are just beginning - he has requested your presence at a ceremony in honor of him, and another. He has enclosed further details as to the time and location of the ancient ritual.
You know him well, but it is unlike him to be so forward. He may have been coerced into sending you this...
What will you do?
Then, printed beside the wax/twine/sticker that seals the invitation:
[Roll a DEXTERITY check. If the result is 5 or higher, you succeed in opening the invitation without damaging it.]
Then you have the real invitation on the inside with some other nerdy references, maybe a picture of you two in medieval garb.
Obviously, customize it based on who is sending/receiving it!
She is obviously leaving their real names out. Traditionally the bride is first and the groom listed second. ie
Between
Jane Smith
and
John Doe
edit: And OP, unless you are planning on totally dorking out on your wedding and doing costumes and a serious fantasy/medieval theme I would think twice about going this crazy with the wedding invitations, unless of course everyone who is invited is going to 'get' the references. Instead maybe consider a veiled reference, some Celtic script or something, a picture of a castle in the background, etc. He can reallllly love all those things and still not want them as part of his wedding.
I second this one. Get some images of the quest log from the game itself and type it up as a real quest would. Maybe even buy a bunch of gag gifts that you can list as rewards for completing the quest by attending the wedding.
Yes that is it exactly thank you.
It won't be totally dorked out. My Matron of Honor already had a heavily influenced D&D and WoW wedding so I really don't want to copy off her. No costumes. Also I also really like E.Coyote's suggestion but the outside of the invite already has a seal using the art of certain common basic land cards from MtG and Lush Growth. Though the inside I could make it like a quest text since my invitation maker has the font from WoW because she did the invites for my MoH as well with it.
Also for the reception the idea is to make guests interact with each other is to do a type of scavenger hunt type quest with real "Quest rewards" still thinking of what the rewards may be. Still thinking of what the quests will entail...suggestions are great help!
I also like UncleSporky's idea..maybe some light parchment paper. Hmmm, but still the wording gives me issues since I'm no author.
Creature name: Do you guys have nicknames for each other? Combine them. Pooky and Muffin. Or whatever. Something like that. The illustration could be like the two of you in some kind of battle pose. Or perhaps in a romantic embrace, and the card name could be something more poetic.
Casting cost: I dunno. Maybe 2 white 2 colorless.
Every card has an emblem denoting the set it's from and its rarity. So there's something there to consider.
Power and toughness: Whatever. The most common is probably 2/2 or 1/1.
Beneath the illustration is a box of text detailing any abilities the card has and any effects that occur once it enters play, although you could use this space for brief directions or something. Beneath that is flavor text. In this case something like a one sentence quip about a significant milestone in your relationship, or perhaps something about a shared personality quirk might be appropriate.
Then there's the illustrator's credit and some other information, along the bottom of the card.
Something like:
"(Tap symbol): RSVP to Jane and John's Wedding. Draw a card."
Or whatev's
