part of me still has a hard time believing you are reading this as someone’s wife.
like the word got some weight to it and the whole marriage thing is serious and we are just so unserious. we operate in a fun whimsical way but this is the time where i felt the need to write you a long ass letter to do justice to one of the most important days of your life.
there was a time, not only once but numerous times, we jokingly talked about how there is nothing to life, that it’s so bland and monotone and you are so looking forward to die you take it as your brand. i know god works in mysterious ways but it’s just insane how things turned out in a span of a year. i’ve been bearing the role of witness to all of your crushes, the real and parasocial ones, but finally, you’ve found the love of your life who managed to give another meaning to your life and i think that’s beautiful.
it’s been almost 8 years since our first meet where we knew we just clicked in an instant. we had spent the next seven years fuck it we ball-ing and basking in chaos and going with the flow of life. we’ve laughed and cried so hard, we’ve seen each other in our highs and lows. you have seen me extremely happy, depressed, and anxious. and you are still one of the funniest people i have ever known. as we stepped into adulthood, there are more things to face. we don’t talk as much, but we keep in touch in a more low maintenance setting. it saves energy yet still conserves the intimacy. you know how i always have a soft spot for you.
you have your own way of caring and no one does it like you. you are the kind of friend that shows up when everything seems to be falling apart with my favorite snacks. thank you for listening to literally my yaps about everything, from my daily unimportant ramblings to my various interest on any media about almost everything — i am glad to have a friend on similar wavelength. thank you for keeping the secrets i told nobody else. thank you for the gifts, the letters, random packages and food to brighten me up during my lows. thank you for your kindness throughout the years of our friendship.
your wedding was a whirlwind of emotions. we tried to hold it together but tears involuntarily rolled down my face the moment i saw you in your beautiful white wedding gown. you looked the prettiest that day. everything was just sinking in because i tried to not think about it but the sudden realization hit me like a truck. my friend is about to be someone’s wife. i am genuinely happy for you, but it also felt like letting you go in a way somehow.
i may not be the key witness of your relationship because of distance and everything and i lowkey feel awful about it because i wish i could, but i’m glad to still have been involved and heard stories about it because you managed to keep me updated. please keep me updated, because i would love to see you both grow through your relationship together. i am excited to see where your marriage will take you and how you will grow and change through the years. i couldn’t be happier knowing you had the courage and certainty to take such a bold step, because that only means he is good for you. he is a good man for you. throughout your stories and after seeing him in person, i feel the absolute certainty that he will make you happy for the rest of your life. i know you both are a perfect match and complete each other in many ways.
as you voyage into this whole new step of life and unending love sea, may your love nurtured and grown. i hope both of you gain the strength to withstand everything coming your way. i am excited to see you embark on a journey as a wife, as mother, in the future. let your love for each other be the only thing that guides you through a lot of things. as cliche as it may sound, you do deserve the love that you’ve been giving to others and more.
i love you. i won’t ask for much but please keep our tiktok streaks alive.
