Joyride
From: A close friend

When we first met in high school, how could I have known
that one day I’d anticipate your wedding as though it were my own?
For the past six years, our friendship has held fast –
you’re a gift, tremendous blessing, and well, just a blast!
I remember when the name “Ben” first crossed your lips,
and later, with both joy and peace, you said, “This could be it!”
Now there are no more “ifs.” Your heart’s satisfied.
To see you so happy is my own little joyride.
And as you wait for the day when your dream will come true,
please know that mine has – to see the very best for you.

I Watched You Grow Up Dreaming
From: Mom

I watched you grow up dreaming,
eyes full of wonder and hope anew.
And, in those moments, I understood
that you would make your dreams come true.

I watched you grow up laughing,
showing the world that joy beats all.
And I thought of how your warmth
would one day leave a man enthralled.

I watched you grow up loving.
Your heart brimmed yet always had more room.
And I knew that soon you’d dedicate
a sacred love to your groom.

I watched you grow up dreaming,
and gladly, I know you’ll never cease,
Because you’ve chosen Isaac, a man
Who shares all of your dreams.

Family, Squared
From: Sister

I can’t believe that the day will soon arrive,
when you won’t just be my sister and friend – but a bride.
I’ve held high standards for the man whose life you would bless,
because, simply put, you deserve the best -
someone in no less than the top 0.1 percent.
Thus, in the case of Greg, I give my full consent.
I can’t begin to describe all you’ve taught me about love;
so often your wisdom seemed to come from above.
Although some things will change, I know I’m not losing you.
Rather, your family is expanding, so as I see it - mine is, too!
In closing, I have two requests to beseech:
first, when I get married, I want you right there next to me.
And the second one, I’ll allow you a few years to grant,
but just know that I’m waiting to be the world’s greatest aunt!
