To my sister on her wedding day,

A sister is not like the average best friend. You fight a little more, but with this you love a little more too.

I always knew this day would come, the day when I would get to hear her proclaim her love to someone and ask me to stand by her side at the alter. Not only will I be supporting her transitioning into the next big chapter of her life, but I will also become a part of a bigger family. I can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us, but I could not be more excited to see my sister find someone who is good to her and who will continue to treat her well for years to come.

Before you embark on this new and exciting journey with the love of your life, there are some things I want you to remember as you start your new and exciting lives together.

Firstly, I would like to share with you something that was once told to me by a teacher of mine he told me that everyone thinks the best years of their life are going to be high school or college…he told the class (and I believe it will be true for you as it has been for most people) that marriage and raising his children have been the best years of his life undoubtedly. Right now neither of us can truly understand this fully, but soon you will and I can't wait to watch you have the time of your life with your other half.

You'll both have to make sacrifices: him, a few hours of Sports Center for a few hours of F.R.I.E.N.D.S; you, a few trips to the race track instead of the mall. But you will both love it either way because it's worth it in the end. For better or for worse, sickness and in health entail a vast range of things. Your sickness may be a Netflix addiction, while his worse may be leaving the seat up (no many how many times you remind him), never-the-less you're both human and are bound to push each others buttons at times. I just ask you remind yourself that we get more easily aggravated at our loved ones than others. As your sister I can vouch for the validity of this statement.

Lastly, I just want you to know that I am always here for you in sickness and in health, for better or for worse. As a sister I have always been there and this could never change. In this new path leading to the rest of your life I will walk hand in hand with you as the Maid of Honor on your big day, but as your sister everyday after. I love you and could not be happier for you. Can't wait to see what your forever has to hold.

Sincerely,

Your Sister
