Today I Marry My Best Friend…

December 15th, 2010 @ 2:02 pm by Mrs. Meerkat

When I woke up this morning, this is what I saw:

Today I Marry My Best Friend... :  wedding emotional riviera maya Img 025 IMG_025

What a perfect way to start our wedding day. I still can’t believe today is THE day. I have been counting down to this day for two and a half years and now that it’s here it still doesn’t seem real. I know when everyone arrives and we start getting ready it’s probably going to hit me, but for now I am cool, calm and collected sipping on a cup of tea.

Hive, where do I even begin to say thank you?

You have been amazing. The love and support you have given to me I can’t even begin to repay. Your kind words meant so much to me when I told you about my father passing away. The times when you were able to help me refine the ideas that had been bouncing around in my head mean so much to me. And not to mention some of the comments you left that made me laugh so hard I was crying. Each of you has touched my life in a way that means more to me than I could ever put into words. Thank you.

To Sister-In-Law Meerkat & Bridesmaid K

You are two of the sweetest people and I couldn’t have chosen better bridesmaids. You have stood behind me and followed along with every crazy idea I have ever had for this wedding. I treasure every minute we spend together. I love you both so much.

To Mama Meerkat

You and dad are the most amazing parents I could have ever asked for. You both have shown me what real love is and I only hope that our marriage can be full of the same laughter and happiness as yours was. No matter where I go or what I do you will always be the most important woman in my life. Don’t ever forget how much I love you.

To Sister Meerkat

It seems like just yesterday you were taking me shopping to buy school clothes and teaching me to drive. Those are some of my fondest memories growing up. You love me in all my geeky ways the same way dad did. You are an amazing sister and I can’t thank you enough for all you both have done for me.

To Mama & Father In-Law Meerkat

From the day I met you, you treated me like I was your daughter and welcomed me with open arms. I don’t know how many brides can say that about their in-laws. You are both very special people and I love you with all my heart. I feel so blessed to become part of your family.

And, to Mr. Meerkat

If you had asked me five years ago where we would be today my last answer would have been getting married. Now I can’t imagine a future without you as my husband. You are one of the bravest, smartest and kindest people I have ever known. I am so proud to become your wife today.

Well hive, I hear people starting to wake up and move around. I guess that means it’s time to start the day and to sign off for the last time as a Miss. Wish me luck ladies! I will see you on the flip side.

With all my love, Miss Meerkat
