A Speech

It seems like all of my blog posts lately have been about book reviews. As of right now I'm reading the Lemony Snicket series so it'll be awhile before I post another book review (there are 13 books in the series). Instead, I'm going to write the speech I'm planning to give at Heather's rehearsal dinner. Heather, if you are reading this, STOP RIGHT NOW!

I haven't known Heather since we were kids or anything, but I did live with her for a couple of years so I learned a few things. She doesn't separate her whites and colors when she washes clothes. Her favorite movie is You've Got Mail. She and I both cried when Rory told Logan she wouldn't marry him. She gets really silly around 3 am. The most apparant thing I learned is that she loves God and her family above everything else.
I got to be there at the beginning of Mark and Heather. I got to be there to peek out the window to see if Mark's light was on in his room. He lived in an apartment across the street from ours. I got to hear the first, flirty text messages and figure out what to say back. I got to hear about the first time they held hands, the first time they kissed, the first time they broke up and got back together, and the second time, and the third time. Through all of those ups and downs, while all her girlfriends were telling her how crazy Mark was, she always had a peace that God would work things out for her. Well, Heather, all your faith has paid off because tomorrow, you're going to walk down the aisle and marry the man I got to watch you fall in love with. And I've never been more sure about two people. Congratulations.
