A letter from Sep 13, 2022

Peaceful right?

Dear bride, You are marrying your best friend today. It will be a very stressful day, but try not to dwell on the things that didn't turn out as planned. Remember life isn't perfect. Enjoy the wedding knowing full well that for the rest of your life you are loved by the most perfect person for you. He goes out of his way to make you happy. He loves you unconditionally and whole heartedly. Today will have its ups and downs but try to brush off the downs because it is all a part of life and marriage anyway. Don't sweat the small stuff. Everything will be perfect in the end, because at the end of the day you will be married to the love of your life, your best friend, and the best father you could have ever dreamed of. Chin up, the stress is almost over.

Do you know what I remember about that day?
I didn't listen to you as well as I should have....
