To my best friend,

And the one who has stuck by me through it all. There are no words to describe how much you mean to me. Our paths crossed at the perfect time and I am beyond grateful for that. We’ve been through so much together, almost too much, but it only strengthens our friendship. You’re like the sister I wish I had, even though I already have two. I’m positive you would have been my favorite.

Thank you for believing in me when no one else did. Thank you for listening to me complain about the boy who would never reply to my messages but leave them on read. Thank you for working hard to build our friendship back up after we hit a huge bump in the road this past year. Not having you in my life is unimaginable.

I need that friend who will make me laugh just by looking at me a certain way. A friend who knows when something isn’t right and will bring me whatever it takes to make me feel better. Most importantly, I need a friend who doesn’t think I’m crazy for having my wedding completely planned by the age of 16.

Although there are too many to remember, my favorite moments are ones spent with you. From riding bikes around our neighborhood, and crashing family parties just for a slice of your mom's delicious pie. When people think I’m being weird, you encourage me to keep doing my thing. I know that wherever life takes us you will be right there with me.

I already see you standing next to me on the altar; assuming anyone is brave enough to marry me. You encourage me to become a better person each day and although we’ve had our fair share of fights there’s no one I would rather call my best friend. Thank you for being there to keep me sane, and to help me see my true potential.

PS: Don’t forget about the promise we made when we turn 40
