Well, you're standing where I always hoped I'd stand: at the end of an altar, hand-in-hand with the guy of our dreams.
Who would have thought?
When I look back at my relationship with your fiance, I think about how he knew how to make me really feel on top of the world — I hope he does the same for you. But, even more than that, I hope you do the same for him because as I hope you know he deserves only the best.
I'm sure he's changed — actually, I hope he's changed because I know that he can be the reason for your highest highs and your lowest lows. I know he'll make you doubt yourself some days and I know he can be the most stubborn person in the world but I promise he's worth it.
Don't let him shut you out because he doesn't really want to be left alone. In fact, he wants you to talk to him until the wee hours of the morning.
I can see why you love him. I know that New York accent of his is enough to make anyone fall in love as soon as he opens his mouth. I know his laugh can seem so melodic that you begin to prefer it over your favorite song. I hope you both sing Matchbox Twenty at obnoxious volumes and that you truly understand his love for Phil Collins and the whole Tarzan soundtrack. I hope you have 3 a.m. talks — that's always been his hour, the hour where his beautiful mind works best.
We used to talk on the phone as I deep-fried pickles and sat on my countertop. I hope you guys have a thing like that, something that no one can take from you.
I really debated writing this because you are the reason he and I are no longer together. But I know that he deserves the best and if he chose you then you must be it. I want nothing more than for you two to live the happiest life possible.
I hope, more than anything, that you make him happy.
