To My Friend As She Prepares For Marriage

I am so proud of you.

To My Friend As She Prepares For Marriage
Kylie Bradley

To my friend as she plans her special day,

It’s hard to believe that this day has come so quickly.

It feels like just weeks ago we were sitting on one of our beds talking about our “dream wedding” and now we’re planning yours.

Growing up is so weird. In so many ways it feels like we’re leaving a part of our lives behind and moving on, but it’s apparent that those parts of our growing up have lead us to this point.

I’d like to believe that my friendship and support have impacted you in a way that has shown you what you truly deserve, because you have found that kind of support and unconditional love in someone to spend the rest of your life with.

This is such a huge step into adulthood and my heart swells with joy at the thought of you saying, “I do” to the man who is perfect for you.

I wish you absolute happiness and years and years of laughter.

I am so proud of you.

For rising above everything you've been through.

For all that you’ve accomplished.

For all that you’re bound to excel in in the future.

Nothing means more to me than to stand beside you on your big day because I know what a journey it has been for you to get here.

From the first date, to the proposal – through the fights and the make ups – I’ve watched you and your future husband grow into the incredible adults each of you have become.

I have seen you struggle through the tough times and come out stronger.

No relationship is perfect but a great relationship comes from learning how to handle the hard times with mature reasoning – and you’ve shown that.

There will be wonderful moments as well as tough times, but finding the one who fits into your life is bound to leave you with more good times than bad. Remember that.

Always remember that you have friends and family to lean on when you struggle and a husband that loves you for exactly who you are.

I am so excited to watch you grow as a couple and take on this new life together.

I look forward to everything that is to come and all that you will experience and learn as newlyweds.

I’m ecstatic about continuing to be a part of your life and know that things will continue to get better from here. The best is yet to come.

So congratulations to my number one. I’m willing to take the second place spot now.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
