Dear Future Brother-in-Law,

I'm writing to you because you're going to marry my sister one day which means two things: congrats and good luck. Congrats because that's the thing you're suppose to say to newly weds, and good luck for several reasons.

The fact that you even made it this far with her shows that you are one patient man. She probably never picks what to have for dinner so that means you have to pick every single night. She also probably hogs the bathroom more than the average girl should. Patience is a quality that every man should have, but you're going to need to a little bit more than that to be fully accepted by the family and I. You should be so excited to have her, and us, with you for the rest of your life!

I love my sister. With that said we fight like crazy, but we're always OK in the end, I promise. Some fights get a little out of hand and things are said that we immediately regret. She'll need someone to vent to right after this happens. You are pretty much going to be a free at-home therapist. You'll need to be waiting with your arms wide open, ready to hear what she has to say. No excuses. Maybe you'll get lucky and she won't want to talk about it, but just be ready to help when she opens up. Letting her know you're there for her will make her feel 100 percent better.

Along with being a super fantastic listener, you're going to need to be able to keep up with her both mentally and physically. Even though she's about five years younger than me, people always think she's the older sister. She's always been involved in sports and has had to work very hard in school. Therefore, her work ethic is insanely good. Hope yours is up to par! Buy her flowers randomly, take her out on interesting dates, and give her massages literally everyday (yes, I'm serious). Just remember happy wife, happy life.

She's my little sister. She means the world to me no matter what. All I want is for her to be happy and successful. If you bring her unending happiness and joy, that's all I can really ask of you. Don't bring her down and keep that contagious smile on her face at all times. If you do this I officially welcome you to the family.

Love,

The Big Sister
