It sounds good! I think I would change where you have some of the line breaks though, if possible.
My preference would be:
Because you have shared in our lives
By your friendship and love, we
(names)
It would also bug me to have the word “together” twice in a few lines… can you reword so you don’t repeat yourself?

I think I would move over the “reception to follow” if you could. From this view, its a little close to the florish. I think the rest looks great. I can’t think of any other way to reword it, other than changing it, so you aren’t saying together more than once in a sentance. I’m wondering what it would look like if you added an extra line between “together with our families” and “invite you to share”.

@MissKK: Looks good but you still need to lose the “AND” in 2012 (it should read “TWO THOUSAND TWELVE”)
I’d probably make the “RECEPTION TO FOLLOW” flush right, in a smaller font and/or in italics or something

@MissKK: if you want to get all grammatically correct about it too, “Kristal King & Anthony Johnson” is an appositive describing the pronoun we; hence, they have to be enclosed in commas. but of course, there’s no need to be all formal and proper like that. just saying 🙂
i also mentioned it in another thread that, to each their own, but i’m not a fan of spelled-out dates and times. they are so hard to read. when i look at an invitation, i want to be able to easily pinpoint the date and time. “October 14, 2012 | 4:30 PM” works for me, but that’s just me.
