Be the best man you can be for her.

To The Man My Best Friend Will Marry, Promise Me You'll Treat Her Well

Hey you,

I don't know who you are yet. But, I hope I like you.

You make her laugh, you challenge her, and you make her a better version of herself. I couldn't ask for more from you.

Thank you for putting up with her so far. We both know that she is a handful, and knows enough to push anyone's buttons, especially yours. You handle it with grace and do so with a smile and a coy laugh, admitting that she is yours and that you are proud to have her.

Never lose that mindset. You are lucky to have her. The minute you lose sight of that, leave. You don't deserve her after that.

She is going to put up with a lot from you. I know you. and I know that you are going to drive her absolutely insane. She is going to call me frantic over your actions quite a lot. But, I promise to remind her what a great guy you are and how blessed she is to have you every time she complains.

Not to be the stereotypical best friend, but if you hurt her, I'll hurt you. You will be loving a heart of gold. If you break her, I break you. Got it? Good.

Now, back to what's important.

She has worked so hard to get to the point in life that she is at now, working through her undergrad. She has been through heartbreaks and high-points, and I have been there for all of them. You haven't. Please understand that you must support her like no other. Don't deter her dreams.

She loves you enough to give them up if you asked her to. Please, don't even think about doing that.

If you love her, you will never ask that of her.

I'm not asking you to change (she fell in love with you for a reason, after all) but please be the best man you can be for her.

She deserves that and more.

She loves you will her entire heart, and then some. You are her world now, and you better make her yours.

With love,

The Best Friend (and Maid of Honor)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
