I'm linking up to Giving Up on Perfect's blog today.
The best wedding that I will ever attend hasn't happened yet. Don't get me wrong, my wedding was a dream come true, but my favorite wedding will be my best friend's wedding. Her story is not my story to tell, but through her struggles she has taught me how to cherish the small every day moments with my husband.
She has waited and is waiting for God to show her that one person that He has meant for her. I know that when God does have them meet, there will be no greater love between a husband and wife. I know that her wedding will be very intimate and Christ-centered. I will proudly be standing beside her, observing the love between my best friend and her spouse.
When her day comes, I will gladly and unabashedly put on my bedazzled hot pink dress (or whatever she may ask of me) and my dyed to match shoes and be honored to be her best friend. I will proudly prepare my Matron on Honor speech (that I have already thought of) that will share examples on how the groom will make it living with his bride. I will gladly let his hand be the one that holds hers when she is crying and I will let his ear be the one that is listening to the crazy stories that his wife experiences daily. I will wait for the phone calls from the groom wanting to know why his wife is doing what she is doing.
I long and pray for the day when my best friend can know what that romantic love feels like and will be able to be unashamed of her hair in the morning in front of someone else besides me.
To my best friend/soulmate's future husband:
Get ready my friend for an adventure. You will hear stories that will make you slap your hand to your face and shake your head at her. You will hear stories that will make you laugh until it hurts. You will lead my friend, my sister through life and take the world by storm. I can't wait to meet you.

You have hit on my hope and my prayer for my daughter right on the head . I can't wait to meet the man God is growing for her!
Wow. That is such a beautiful post. Two of my very best friends are not married yet, and what you said is what I hope for them, too.
Thank you for linking up this week!
As someone who is still waiting, I greatly appreciated your words. Not all people are sensitive those of us who haven't met Mr. Right yet. Your best friend is lucky to have you!
