It’s hard to believe that after all this time of us talking about our future weddings, you’re finally engaged. Watching you and him together makes my heart soar and I couldn’t imagine a better man for you to make your husband. I’ve been there since the beginning of your relationship and I can’t wait to watch your relationship continue to grow through your engagement and into your marriage. As I prepare to stand by your side on that day, here are my “vows” to you as I help you plan this wedding.

I vow to be by your side every step of planning this wedding. I’ll be the person you can rely on when you’re freaking out about the ribbon color for the center pieces and your fiance doesn’t understand. I’ll be there when you try on hundreds of dresses and when you find the most perfect one. I’ll be there through it all. And I vow to always answer my phone when I can’t physically be by your side.

I vow to never force my opinion on anything. We have very different styles and ideas about what we want. I vow to not get mad if you don’t like my ideas. I promise that I will support every single choice you make and won’t be rude if I don’t like something

I vow to wear whatever bridesmaid dress in whatever color that you want. I won’t be like those awful girls on Say Yes To The Dress: Bridesmaids, because at the end of it all, it’s your day, and someday, when it's my turn to get married, I’ll make you wear whatever I want and then we’ll be even.

I vow to throw you the classiest bridal shower and the most insane bachelorette party. Days with the girls are so important and you deserve the best pre-wedding parties ever, so that’s what you’re gonna get.

I vow that on the big day, I’ll be there to make sure everything goes smoothly. I’ll help calm your nerves before. I’ll hold your dress when you decide you have to last-minute pee. I’ll make sure that everyone is in their place and that the entire day is perfect for you. I’ll answer weird questions from your guests about directions to the hotel and what not. And I vow to not cry too hard during the ceremony.

I vow that when you have kids, I will love them like I’m biologically related to them. I will be with you through your future pregnancies just as I was with your wedding. I will babysit for you whenever you need it.

Finally, I vow to keep our friendship alive after you’re married. I will forever be your go-to girls night, lunch date, and shopping spree buddy. When it’s my turn to walk down the aisle, I know you’ll be by my side as well.
