I just want to send you a few words before your pending big day. I know from tomorrow everything is going to fly past you as you start the final preparations.

I write this message with so many fond memories of laughter remembering your silly sense of humour and at times your jaw dropping revelations.

As you stand before each other on your special day, surrounded by your loved ones, I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations on your marriage. You are embarking on a journey together, a journey that will be filled with love, laughter, joy, and occasional challenges.

Marriage is a wonderful union of two hearts and souls, and it is truly a blessing to witness two people who have found each other, who will stand by each other through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse.

As you begin your journey together, remember to always cherish each other and to never take your love for granted. Keep your communication open and honest, and always be there for each other. Celebrate your successes and support each other through your failures. Remember that love is not just a feeling, but a choice that you make every day.

May your marriage be filled with countless moments of happiness, and may your love for each other continue to grow with each passing day. May you always find comfort in each other’s arms and may your bond of love remain unbreakable.

Congratulations once again, and may your marriage be blessed with endless love, laughter, and joy.

With love and best wishes for your future together, your friend a yond the pond
