"I had the greatest friend when I was a little kid, and I got to keep her for forever." - Unknown

The day has finally come, that your last name will change. You will no longer be two but you will become one with the man that was designed to hold your hand for the rest of forever. The man that will have to deal with you (bless his soul! Just kidding!) every day until the good Lord calls you home. Your life is about to change and for the better. You have dreamt of this day our whole lives. The magical moment you will stand in front of your family and friends and you will vow to love this man for the rest of your life.

I can't believe that it's here, but I knew it would come. I have prayed for you and for this day all of our lives. I remember always talking about how life would turn out, how our weddings would be, what man we would marry, maybe that didn't all turn out perfect, but it's a new type of perfect. I have prayed for a long time you would find a man that would sweep in and show you a love that is usually only in story books. I believe that this is the start of an amazing journey for you and for your new husband. How lucky is he, to have someone as beautiful, caring, honest, loyal and selfless as you! I know he will take care of you, honor you, love you, and respect you all of your life.

Life is not always easy, marriage is not always smooth sailing, you will learn and you will grow, you will want to hit him over the head with the thickest pan you have but refuse to because you won't won't to hurt him, but it's a magical ride. It's full of adventure, compromise, challenges, a few trials, and lots and lots of love. Just remember the feelings you have at this moment, when you say "I do" and never let that fade away! Learn to be the best to each other that you can be! Always give more than you take, say I love you as many times as possible, show kindness and compassion everyday and be the greatest friends to each other that you could ever imagine! Love conquers all. Remember that. Remember the friendship that has built this marriage and always put it first.

I love you, our friendship, our memories, and all that is to come! You look beautiful today. I pray blessings over you and this new season you are entering in. You are blessed, you are beautiful, and you are the most perfect bride I know! May it be as magical as you could have ever imagine! Because you deserve the world and more.

"And even though I'm unsure about most things in life, I am certain that I love you and will continue to love you forever."
