When we were little I never thought either of us would get married. It seemed like we would be little girls forever. This irrational thought hit me like a train when you moved to go to college. Growing up we did fight quite a bit because what sisters don't fight? We were interested in different things and we were just different. When you moved away I forgot about all of the fighting we did and I was just so sad. I did not think you leaving would upset me, but I cried for a long time because I missed having my big sister at home whenever I needed her. Every holiday I sat up the night before waiting and waiting until you would come home. I never did like that four hour drive to pick you up from college, but it was all worth it because I got to see you and play board games with you. When you brought your new boyfriend home I was scared he would not like me. After all I am the annoying, little sister. The difference was that he never treated me like your annoying, little sister. He treated me like his annoying, little sister, and oddly enough I loved that. He treated me like I was a part of his family and he was surely a part of ours. You dating him was a gift, you gave me another brother. So, as you could imagine I was so excited to hear the news that the two of you were getting married. Now not only is he like my brother but he is my brother. I could not have picked anyone else to marry my sister, nor would I trust anyone else to take care of my sister. He treats you like the beautiful woman that you are. He appreciates your unique qualities. And I as well as everyone else can tell that you two are happier and better together. I did not think that I would cry on your wedding day, but I shed so many tears (the happy kind of course). You just looked so stunning that I could not help but cry. I am so happy for the two of you and I can not wait to see your love for each other grow. Sister, congratulations and thank you for my new brother.

Love,

Your favorite, annoying, little sister
