Dear Josh,
When my parents were young, they spent their time roaming their respective neighborhoods playing with their neighbors and doing what children did best in a time before TV. They played outside. When I was young(er), I spent a lot of my time watching "Drake and Josh." I think many young adults in western culture can relate to this, as "Drake and Josh" was one of the few high points of Nickelodeon's broadcasts. I have two brothers and a sister, so it was not hard for me to relate to the comradery and overall comedic theme of that beloved show. You and Drake Bell had become icons to my youth, not because you were necessarily heroes, but because both of you had given me so much joy. Now that I sit in a college apartment dreading over the real world, I find myself watching reruns of "Drake and Josh" to pass the time because there aren't many modern TV shows that make me laugh quite like yours.
I would like to congratulate you on getting married. I'm sure it begins a very exciting and new chapter in your life. Drake and Josh" has been officially over for years, and many fans including myself assumed that the "Hug me, brother" attitude between you and Drake would have continued on for years to come. But not all good things can last, and it seems as if your growing fame has gotten the better of you. I do not know the absolute personal reasons for which you did not invite Drake to your wedding, but that wasn't cool. I can see how a career recently peaked by (the now dead) Vine and "Ice Age: The Meltdown" might have gotten to your head, but do you seriously think that because you hang out with John Stamos that you are better than someone who pursued a different path?
Of course, I am not the only fan of "Drake and Josh" to have these sympathies. Just take a look at your Instagram comments, and you will see how the fans really feel. It would be wise to not disregard how we feel because we are what makes your career worth anything. Granted, Drake spends a lot of time arguing with Justin Bieber fans (which is usually merited and strangely hilarious), you spend your time being someone that you are not, someone who has never had a brother. Drake may not be your brother by blood, but if you seriously suggest that the two of you never bonded while filming your one TV series that mattered, I would call that bluff in a heartbeat.
I'm sure you are a great guy, and you have given me many laughs, but I would never make it a point to leave one of my brothers out of my wedding. Drake has shown that it has hurt his feelings, and so have all of the fans. Sadly, it seems you have gone from portraying the theatre thug, to actually being one. I hope it doesn't stay like that.
Sincerely, a former fan.
