Hey girlie,

I can't believe we are finally here. We've passed student teaching together, completed our senior years together, and have crossed the stage to get our degrees together. So now we're here. This is the day we've talked about during our late night FaceTime chats, and before and after classes, and your big day is finally here!

I may not have known you for too long, but I've known you long enough to know that you have been eager and waiting for this day since you got engaged. And I don't blame you! You two were meant for each other, and I am so happy that you have found your person, and now you get to spend forever together.

The relationship you two have is something out of a movie. Two best friends who finally get together after years of being "just friends," fall in love, and live happily ever after! It's the relationship girls everywhere dream about, and you're living it! It might not have been the easiest thing to do, with your late night FaceTimes and notes and flowers via snail mail, but you did it! You both made it out on the other side stronger than ever, and we've finally made it to your wedding day! I'm so happy for you.

I just know you two will surely live "happily ever after." I have no doubt in my mind that he will treat you like the princess that you deserve to be treated, and that you'll work through anything that tries to get in the way of you two's happiness.

You compliment each other so nicely, and more importantly, you're best friends first! And that's a beautiful thing to see in this generation-- true love.

Just know that I am so so happy for you. And even though you'll be moving pretty far away, just know I'll be there whenever you need me-- whether it's a FaceTime call, a road trip, or an overnight flight, I'll be there. I promise.

We may have just met four years ago freshman year, but I cannot picture my life without you in it. We have made it through some of the most challenging parts of our lives together, and I do not plan on giving all of that up simply because you'll be moving to a different state after the wedding.

We may be growing up and moving on after college, but we will never move apart. You will always be one of my best friends, and I will always be here whenever you need me.

I'm so happy to have met someone like you, and to have such a great friend in you. I'm so happy that you have found happiness with your now husband (whoa that was weird to say..you're "adulting"!), and I'm so happy to be able to share in your special day with you.

Thank you for being a lifesaver these past four years, and being my friend.

I love you, pal! And congratulations on your big day!

Love always,

Hails
