One of my lifelong best friends just got engaged, and I couldn't be anymore thrilled for her and her fiancé. It's absolutely crazy to think that 15 years ago we were talking about what we wanted our wedding dresses to look like while playing dress up in my room. Now, it's even crazier to see it actually becoming a reality.

When I got the news that your boyfriend had finally proposed, I was ecstatic. Not only was this my first friend getting married, it was one of my best friends, which meant I was going to be able to help her plan her wedding and be there for all the emotional times leading up to the big day. Once I got my invite to be a bridesmaid, it made everything that much more real.

Over the past few years, I've gotten to know both you and your fiancé pretty well and it's safe to say that I think you guys really got lucky with one another. From hearing how you used to talk about how much you adore spending time with your boyfriend and his family, to seeing how far your relationships have grown with each other. Not only that, but to be able to see the the way he looked at you like he would do anything for you when you first started dating, and seeing that he would still drop whatever he was doing if you needed him because that's what he's there for.

It blows my mind to have watched your relationship together grow over the past six years, and I know he made the right choice. You two have a relationship that's truly built on being bonded and connected to each other. It shows that dating, romance and love are still very real in this modern day of non-commitment, and although it may be hard, it's extremely worth it.

Together we have grown up from little girls to young women, and everyday it's more and more real that we're really growing up and becoming adults. We've been along each other's side, miles apart, for what seems like forever, but we've never missed a big moment or even a quick lunch date for buttered noodles in our life and we never will. I can't lie and say I didn't cry a little bit while writing this, but I can say I've never been more happy and excited to be apart of this next adventure in your life.

While wedding planning can be fun but also a headache, remember that I'll be by your side with wine and doughnuts whenever you have a stressed moment or just need some relaxing time. It's obvious that you two goofballs really love each other, and I'm confident that you'll be stuck with one another for the rest of your lives, but in a good way of course.

With that being said, congratulations to my very best friend on your engagement! There's no one else I'd rather see you conquer the world with by your side. You two deserve all the best opportunities and happiness that the world has to offer you in this new chapter of your life!
