For those of you who do not know me, I am both the maid of honor and best friend of the bride. For those of you who do know me, you’re welcome.
I didn’t know this at the time but meeting Erin in elementary school was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I gained a friend and a sister. Something I desperately needed at the time growing up surrounded by only brothers. Given that we’ve been together this long, you start to gather up on all the juicy secrets and embarrassing stories in each other’s lives.

I couldn’t think of anything that could quite sum up the love I have for you. There are no words known to man that can quite describe the friend you are to me and to get even close to that we would need hours. But for the sake of everyone here, I will keep it short and tell you this; I have never seen someone impact everyone around them so easily. You walk into a room and are able to make the blandest of times some of the most memorable. Smiles surround you and for that me as well as everyone who you have graced with your presence is a better person. I am eternally grateful that our paths crossed and I will never stop being here for you.
We’ve had our ups and downs in our adventures through life which have made our friendship as strong as it is today and I feel blessed to be here as you begin your newest adventure, marriage.
Josh, for a while there I was jealous you were stealing my best friend away from me, but I now realize as her husband you are the greatest best friend she could ever ask for. I see everlasting happiness between the both of you when I look at you two together and that is all I could ever ask for for Erin. I also know that I will never have to worry about you taking my place as her shopping partner.
If everyone could please raise their glass, I’d like to propose a toast to the new Mr. and Mrs., Josh and Erin: here’s to love, laughter, and happily ever after.
