To my sister and her husband on their wedding day:

You are married! My sister, my big sister, is a married woman. I can't think of another man who you are better suited for. He is funny and adventurous and he has changed you in so many ways. This is a good thing. He opened you up to new experiences and broadened your view of the world. He got you to ride a motorcycle! (I will never get over that!) I can't wait to see all the way you two will grow each other.

Your ceremony was gorgeous! I can't believe you fit perfectly into mom's wedding dress and I personally believe that that was a sign in itself. I think mom would love her new son-in-law. And I know she would be so proud of the marvelous woman you've become. I think the fact that the dress didn't have to be altered was her giving her blessing.

And I know you didn't ask for it, but you have my blessing a thousand times over. Our relationship hasn't been easy. I did have my doubts at first and I was a little angry that you had changed so much without me. But I see now, that maybe you didn't change as much as I thought you did. I think you just found yourself. Your new husband was a big help in you finding yourself. I'm sorry for all the bad blood that was between us. It's in the past now, and I will never bring it up again. I love you both and I wouldn't pick anyone else for you.

On that note, I am always here for you. For both of you (and any future kids you two decide to have). You are more than just my family. You are the aunt and uncle to my daughter, two of my best friends, and most definitely "relationship goals". You are my big sister and my new brother and I couldn't love you two more if I tried. You're always in my thoughts and forever in my prayers. Anything either of you need, just call me and I will find a way to help you achieve it.

I hope you have lots of kids. I hope you travel first and explore the world. I hope you have a ton of adventures and enjoy your motorcycles first. Then when you're ready, I hope you have lots of kids. I hope you never forget this feeling; the feeling of your wedding day. I hope that even when you fight, you two are patient and don't ever say anything you don't mean. I pray for many happy years and I look forward to holidays and vacations with you two. And in case I forgot to say it; to my new brother, welcome to the family!
