To myself on my wedding day,
Ever since I was two, I had dreamed about my wedding day. I wrapped myself up in the white sheer curtains that dangled from the curtain rods in the living room and pretended that they were my wedding dress and veil. Later on, I attended weddings and had a much better understanding of them from when I was a mere age of two. It was a ceremony of love between two people who decided that from all of the other eight billion people in this world, they had found their true soulmate. It was beautiful and the whole crowd clapped and cheered as the couple had their first kiss as a married couple. I knew that I could not wait for this day.
I know I probably prepped far too much in advance. I cut out pictures from magazines of dresses and hairstyles, viewed engagement rings at Tiffany and Cartier, and decided on whether I would be married on a beach or inside a giant church with beautiful stained glass, so many times that the average person would probably be disgusted. I don't know if they helped, but I know that no matter where it is, what you wear, or how big the ring is, this day will be magnificent for you. This is the day you have truly dreamed of your whole life.
I don't know who the lucky guy is or if I even know him at this point in my life, but I know that he really is something special. Through the times of crying myself to sleep and believing that I falsely had found my prince charming had led me to believe that maybe there truly is no such thing as a "happily ever after." I believed that Disney movies and classic chick flicks had led me to believe in a false reality. But clearly, this man has proved you to believe that prince charming really is out there and is ready to spend the rest of his life with you. I'm sure he's incredibly handsome, unbelievably intelligent, and he treats you like the princess you truly are. Whoever he is, I hope that he, just like you, is beyond thrilled that this day is here.
I know the wedding will be beautiful, whether it's the classic white and black or if it's filled with bright and vibrant colors. I know that the cake will be delicious, the bridesmaids will look magnificent, and that you most of all, will be stunning. I know you're filled with excitement and that butterflies are swarming in your stomach. I'm sure that the minutes are ticking away as if they were hours and this moment cannot come soon enough. I know for me now, years in the past that I cannot wait for it too. But I know when that day comes, it will be everything I hoped for and more. Enjoy what today has to offer you, it only comes once in a lifetime and it is one of the most beautiful things we have to capture in life. Congratulates bride.
Love,
Yourself at 19
P.S. Make sure to wear waterproof mascara. I know you will cry.
