Ryan and I have been best
buddies since the beginning of high school. I was never a popular kid, and he
was the typical football player jock that got all of the pretty girls, while
still managing to get high honors. I looked up to him as if he was an idol – I
wanted to be respected and appreciated by the entire school class. Although I
have quite the figure now, I was scrawny and disliked. I didn’t know how I was
going to survive the first week of school, let alone four years! But to my
surprise, Ryan was the first person to give me a chance. He was a year older and
to me, like a brother. He not only introduced me to the prettiest girls, but he
even encouraged me to try out football. I went on a limb and attempted it, just
because Ryan had so much confidence in me. Since then, I have been playing
football every weekend. Even now, it shocks me that I actually had the
self-assurance to do that. Without Ryan’s motivation and kindness, I would still
be that disliked kid!
Through the years, we have gone
through many trials and tribulations. Although it has been a rough ride, we are
still standing, and I couldn’t be more proud. Ryan is the type of person who
does not get defeated. If he has to climb as far as he can without stopping, he
will. For this reason, I am not surprised that he found one of the greatest
girls out there. Marissa is his perfect match – caring, driven, and has such an
optimistic perspective on life. We all need someone who will be our other half,
someone who is just like us, but willing to push us further. For Ryan, this is
Marissa. She is so loving and generous that sometimes you wonder why she is with
Ryan! Just joking buddy.
Ryan and Marissa, I’d like to
make a toast to your marriage and happiness. I have waited for the two of you to
finally say your “I do’s” for three years now. I think I was more excited for
your wedding than the two of you combined! All I want is for both of you to be
happy, and with one another, I think it’s already a success. No matter what
happens to all of us – I can always count on the two of you for friendship,
strength, and support. I only wish you the best and I hope that one day I will
be an uncle!
Congratulations – you two deserve it!
