Well, we never thought this day would come. Alright, we knew it would, but that's the joke everyone makes at weddings. In all seriousness, if anyone deserves this special day, it's you.

A long time ago I read that in order to find the person that we're supposed to marry, it's a good start to replace their name in the Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7. The verse is as follows:

"Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

What strikes me as amazing is the fact that I can put either yours or your future wife's name in for love, and it all remains true. That's not something that a lot of people can say. It is rare to find two people -- let alone one person -- who are compassionate, generous, humble, and loyal to everyone they meet.

You are light, energy, creativity, justice, and give without needing to take. She is sunshine, warmth, compassion, and empathy with no judgement. United, you two make the perfect couple. Together, you are strength, hope, laughter, and love. Together, you are better than you've ever been while apart.

To my brother's wife:

Thank you for being the amazing, Godly woman that my brother needs in his life. I can see how you inspire him. It is so comforting to be able to see the love you have for him in your eyes. I'm glad he makes you laugh. I promise he'll make you happy forever and always. He'll tease you constantly, but he only does that with people he loves. He will be brave. If you have kids and they hear a noise at night, instead of telling them it was nothing, he'll do a perimeter check to put them at ease. My brother will give everything he can to you, and will cherish every moment you have together.

To my brother:

Thank you for being an amazing example, a teacher, and a great friend. I have nothing but the utmost faith in you and what you will offer a future family. You've always taken care of me. When I was skateboarding and face-planted, you were there to pick me up. Instead of giving me a hard time, you congratulated me for trying, then told me what I could improve on next time. You made sure there was a next time. Thanks for a childhood of laughter, fun, and thinking outside of the lines without breaking the rules. I'm so excited for the future you have ahead of you with your wife.

I'm beyond honored to be a part of this special day. You both inspire and guide me, while supporting me no matter where I am. I'll always do my best to be a good sister - someone who you can always count on.

To my brother and friend on his wedding day: Congratulations.

You sought out what you wanted in life and found the most beautiful, compassionate, and empathetic soul. I wish you both nothing but the best in life.
