First off, let me be the first to tell you just how lucky you are. Not only do you get to marry this girl, but you get to love and be loved by her. You get to take her to the movies (make sure you don't forget the popcorn). You get to parade her around everywhere, from Walmart to downtown. You get to take her to her favorite restaurant (I'd recommend Japanese or Mexican, or McDonald's). Then, at the end of the day, she's yours to take home. All of these things I've mentioned she and I used to do together. Now, I'm passing her off to you. This is a responsibility that you should handle with care.
Here are a few things you should know about your future wife:
She's strong. She's been through every situation you can imagine and still manages to smile everyday. She was strong before you and now she will be strong for you. She may be hard to crack at first, but she's been hurt in the past in ways you would never believe. Don't pressure her, ever. In her time, she will open up to you and you will open up to her in return. It will be incredible.
She's beautiful. She requires absolutely no makeup to make every guy in the room turn their head. Her smile and her eyes are the best things about her. She's low maintenance and has been known to wear the same oversized sweatshirt multiple days in a row. She can go from sweats to a nice dress and heals in less than two hours (this is a BIG DEAL). Compliment her daily. Never let her forget just how gorgeous she is. Don't forget that.
She may seem tough, but she loves romance. When you propose, plan it out, ask her parents, get down on one knee, and have someone to take pictures of the entire thing. I better be involved, too. Buy her flowers on a Tuesday. Surprise her with concert tickets (anything country should do the trick). Sing to her. Open her car door. Carry her to the car when its raining. Show her your sensitive side, and she will melt, I promise.
She has the best personality. Since I have met her, we have shared countless inside jokes, stupid moments, and incredible memories. She was the one to bring me out of my shell and support me when I was unsure of myself. With each passing year, she grows better. She will always make you laugh, and you will never know what is going to come out of her mouth. She exudes confidence and grace. Enjoy every single moment that you get to spend with her.
Just because you're her husband doesn't mean I'm out of the picture. Yes, that's right. I'm here to stay. I've been her best friend for longer than you two have been together. I had to approve of you before your second date with her. I've heard every story. I've been the one she calls after every date, fight, and sweet moment (told you the flowers would work). I've been the person that has been her number one fan since elementary school. Sure, you two are "adults" and are about to be married, but don't let the possibility of she and I having a slumber party escape your mind. Truth is, I will be at your house more than you. Actually, I will probably have my own bedroom in your house. I come with her. Sorry in advance.
You couldn't have picked a better person to spend your life with. For the next fifty or so years, you will have the pleasure of waking up to her every morning. She will care for you and love you like you would have never imagined. She will make you realize just why all the other girls didn't work out. She will inspire you in so many ways. She will challenge you daily to be the best you you can be. She will make your life so much better, and you will realize you never knew how incredible life could be. You're blessed.
One last thing, be good to her. Treat her with kindness. Encourage her to go to the gym, then drive her to Krispy Kreme. Lead her in her faith. Accept her little quirks. Don't complain when she wants to watch a romantic comedy for the third time...this week. Never stop trying to impress her. Don't hurt her. Keep your promises. Give her the best life you possibly can. She's your queen. I trust you will be a good husband for her. I know this because I helped pick you.
My best friend, your future wife, is an amazing girl as we both know. Please, do whatever you can to make her happy. Like I said before, my favorite part about her is her smile. Do nothing to ruin her, or else you and I will have to have a little talk.
I will see you soon as I walk down the aisle, your new bride right behind me. I can't wait for you to see her. She's, if you can believe it, more beautiful than ever.
Sincerely,
Emily, the Best Friend/Maid of Honor/Go-To for All Things Her
