To The Girl Who Will Marry My Brother

I knew God had answered my prayers when he sent you.

To My Future Sister In Law,

With all the wedding planning stress I am sure that you are wishing for as much time as possible between now and the wedding.

Whereas I can not count down the days fast enough until the wedding, because I am also waiting for my wish to be granted.

A wish that can only occur the day you say “I Do.”

That day, I will be granted the sister I had always wanted, which is you.

Not only will I be gaining a sister, my parents gaining another daughter,

but my brother will have a wife.

The wife that won him over, which is very hard to do.

The wife that put a smile on my brother’s face that was never there before.

Finally the wife that will show him why every relationship before you did not work out.

You helped him to realize his potential when my family and I could not.

For that I thank you.

Because of you, my brother is a completely different person, which is the person he was always meant to be.

Also because of you, our family dynamic is completely different from before.

It was always the four of us; mom, dad, my brother, and I.

It was weird to think that someone would change that, and to be honest with you, I was afraid of the change.

But now, thinking of a life without you in it, is simply weird.

You filled a void the four of us never even thought was there.

There is a time for everything, but waiting for you to come took a long time.

Which made me very skeptical when I met you for the first time.

I was too worried about the countless times that my brother was hurt before, to even realize that the girl I had prayed for him to meet was standing right in front of me.

I think God is very funny in that sense.

Because right when you are about to lose faith, he shows you a reason to believe again.

That reason was you.

I began to lose faith in love.

Not the generic middle school crush love, because trust me I LOVED Justin Bieber.

But the kind of love that knocks you off your feet, because it comes around when you least expect it to.

Just like how I didn’t expect you to be my brother’s last first date.

Because even after chasing him up the stairs after your date to find out how it went, he gave me nothing.

Which I now know that meant he really liked you.

Which also means he loves watching The Bachelor with us on Monday nights because he simply does not say anything the whole show!

Which also means he may be speechless on the day of your wedding.

Because he loves you that much.

Girl, I love you too, but I just want to let you know it will be hard to keep me quiet on your wedding day.

There will be too many emotions that come with my brother finally calling you his wife.

Excited, because you are one of my best friends.

Sadness, because I’m giving one of my best friends away to another girl.

Mad, if the photographer takes a picture of my sobbing face.

A little envious, because I hope to one day find a love like my brother and your’s.

Hopeful, for a new chapter in all of my family’s and your life.

A chapter that could only be written by adding a new character to the story.

I can not wait until the day that you become part of the family.

Love,

Your Future Sister in Law

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
