To the man my best friends will marry,
Congratulations,
you have won the love of one of the most amazing human beings that
presently walks the Earth. I guess that means you are a pretty special
guy. However, there are some things you should know about my best friend
before you promise to love her for the rest of her life.
She
has been through more than her fair share of heartbreaks; she has been
led on and used; and she has been lied to more times than it is possible
to count. Despite those things, she had enough strength to continue
looking for you and enough faith in fairy tales to believe that her
happily-ever-after would one day come. Don't ever underestimate her
ability to be your partner in life. She is there to support you just as
you are there to support her. Should you ever decide that you are
superior to her, she will be more than strong enough to show you just
how wrong you are.
She
has one of the largest, softest hearts of anyone I have ever met. She
loves everyone she meets, and she will ignore any and all opinions that
are presented to her on one of her new “friends.” When she ends up
getting hurt by her new friend and figures out that she probably should
have listened to everyone’s warnings, she will do the most frustrating
thing: She will forgive them. Her heart has a way of only seeing the
best parts of people and pushing out all of the rest. She puts others
before herself always and will do whatever she can to help someone in
need. As her husband, it will be your job to make sure she is taken care
of too.
She
is a dreamer. She has dreams that are larger than life, and her eyes
can see things that are too far away for anyone else to focus on.
There have been times when she told me of her dreams, and I responded by
telling her that those dreams were too large for her. Over time,
though, I have had the distinct pleasure of being proven wrong. I have
seen those dreams become her reality, and I know that in time you will
too. So do not make the same mistake that I did. Believe in her, and
push her towards those goals. Do not be one more person that she has to
prove wrong, because she will.
She
is my best friend and I love her. I know that it is not in the same way
you love her, but my love is just as important. There will be things
that she will go through that you will not be able to understand, and
there will be times when she will choose to call me and not you. When
those times come, do not be upset with her for choosing to come to me
instead of you. It does not mean that she loves you any less; there are
just some things only a best friend can fix.

To the man who will marry Hunter Grace, watch out. She is a spitfire. I've never seen someone with so much compassion. I have watched her grow for many years now. Treasure her. Hold her when she cries even when you don't understand why she is upset. Embrace her love for international missions and never hold her back. You will probably have at least 4 dogs so go ahead and mentally prepare. And lastly, take care of my Gracie. She is a ray of sunshine everywhere she goes.
To the man who will marry Emily. She has a tender heart, so don't be too concerned if she starts crying during a commercial. It might take her a little while to break out of her shell but when she does, you will love her even more. She is funny, kind, sweet spirited, artistic and more. Lastly, she is strong willed, if she wants something, you'll know. Don't ever take her to a pet store, pet rescue or animal shelter, trust me.
To the man who will marry Skyler. You have found the biggest treasure of all. She is an onion, but I am sure you already know that. We have been partners in crime for quite some time now. I have seen her at her worst and I have seen her at her best and I wouldn't trade a moment of it. Get ready because she loves to eat. Anytime, anywhere. But most of all she loves to dance so if she is in a bad mood, just crank up Tswift in the kitchen. Don't get too jealous if she spends an hour on the phone with me every night before she goes to bed, it's when we have our best talks. Buy her lots of pudding and tell her you love her even though sometimes she wont say it back. Lastly, hug her all of the time, because she hates it and its quite funny to watch her squirm.
To the man who will marry my Chloe. If she has opened up her heart to you, hold on tight and never let go. She doesn't open up to people very often so don't take advantage of that. Know that Chloe is one of the strongest people I have ever met - There is nothing she cant handle. She has big dreams, encourage her to pursue them. One day she might lay eggs on the floor, squat over them and act like a chicken, just call me. Love her with all you have and she will do the same.

If
you cannot love and cherish these parts of her, then you do not deserve
her love. But if you see all of the wonderful things that I see in her
and love her more because of those things, then she will love you more
than you ever imagined was possible. She is a rare and beautiful person,
and I am glad she has you in her life.
Sincerely,
Her First Other Half
