The future remains uncertain but one thing we know for sure is tomorrow you will marry the love of your life and start an entirely new journey into the future. Some days will be hard, some days you will want to quit. Embrace the tiny moments you can share with only him and I am certain you two will continue your path to true happiness.

On this day, the day before your wedding you will likely be under an avalanche of marriage advice. Like all of the people who love you, I want to offer all of my best advice. The tiny tricks I learned on how not to let all of the silly things bother me. But you, like myself, are smart enough to know when a lesson needs to be learned alone. Instead of giving you a bunch of nonsense about what you need to do (or not do) to make your marriage successful, I offer only my shoulder to cry on and a hot pot of coffee to drink.

With marriage, every relationship you have will change. Your beautiful children will have a daddy who is absolutely crazy about both of them. Your mother will have a new son, whom she will often disagree with, but love just the same. You will have a new mother yourself, try to remember that it is the mother-in-laws job to be infuriating but it is only because she never thought that someone could love her child as much as she. Your friends will change too, but never so much that we can’t share a laugh or give a hug or listen to your frustrations and envy your happiness. Embrace the changes that you have made, you will never be more blessed.

Grow together, and love as hard as you can.

I love you Jennifer, and I am so grateful to have you in my life.

Love,

Me
