Standard 4-bar FIRST DAY OF ISSUE
Digital Color Postmark: 
from the Postal Bulletin May 27th:
On June 1, 2015, in Kansas City, MO, the U.S. Postal Service® will reissue the Yes, I Do two ounce rate mail-use stamp, (Non-denominated priced at 71 cents), in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 589400).
The stamp will go on sale nationwide June 1, 2015.
The Weddings series Yes, I Do stamp, first issued in 2013, accommodates the heavier weight of an invitation, as well as other mailings such as oversized cards or small gifts that require extra postage. The stamp highlights the words “Yes, I Do” nestled in a bouquet of flowers in the shape of a heart on a white background. A similarly designed companion stamp, Where Dreams Blossom — a Forever® stamp first issued in 2013 — is also available for response cards, save-the-date notices, thank-you notes, and other correspondence. The stamp artwork was designed by Michael Osborne under the direction of Ethel Kessler. The words “two ounce” on this stamp indicate its usage value. Like a Forever® stamp, this stamp will always be valid for the rate printed on it. The initial price and value for this stamp is 71 cents.
