today is the day. the day i've been waiting for my whole life. my wedding day. ever since i was 6 years old, i've been imagining what my dream wedding would be like. the ceremony would happen in a beautiful garden, with a small gazebo in the center. i will be wearing a simple yet elegant white flowy dress that has pockets in the side and instead of wearing heels, i'll be wearing white flats. the place will be decorated with some fairy lights hanging above and white roses will be placed at the side of the aisle. lastly, i'll be marrying the love of my life, my soulmate, my best friend. and now after 20 years, i finally achieved it.

i've been a hopeless romantic ever since and because of that, my six year old self decided to write letters for my future husband. the letters usually describe the days i've had so he's caught up with everything that happened in my life until we get married. for the past 20 years, i've written these letters on blank pieces of paper and i put it in a jar. a week before this wedding, i compiled all of the letters i've written in a book which we will be reading after the celebration.

dear future husband,
today, my moms sent me off for a play date with one of my classmates, ricky bowen. we were having fun at first and that is until he grabbed one of my favorite barbie dolls and microwaved it in the kitchen. i was crying non-stop and he just stared at me and didn't say sorry!!!! although, the next day, he came to my house, holding the exact barbie doll he melted and said that he begged his mom to buy a new one for me in the toy store. i was touched by his gesture that i kissed him on the cheek and i saw him blush for a bit. we've been inseparable since.
with love, nini.

dear future husband,
i wanted to make money so i could buy my moms and my lola a christmas gift so i decided to build a lemonade stand. it was doing great. kourtney would usually help me with selling and advertising. in 4 days, i made about $40 and that is a lot!!!! that is until one afternoon, when ricky was skating near my stand. he attempted to do some skating trick and he knocked over my lemonade stand. i cried for hours until ricky came up to me and said sorry. even though, i was mad at him. i still forgave him. after all, he is still one of my best friends.
with love, nini.

dear future husband,
i was so excited when my science teacher picked my project about mouldy bread to compete in a science fair. while i was setting up, ricky comes up to me and annoys me like he always does. while i wasn't looking, he said that he was hungry and i said i didn't care. when i turned, i see him eat my mouldy bread. i was panicking but luckily mama d came in to help him get to the school clinic. we waited for about an hour and it was a blessing that he was ok. sadly, i wasn't able to compete in the science fair which made me devastated but being there for ricky was more important.
with love, nini.

dear future husband,
one day during sixth grade, kourtney and i were about to take lunch when the "leader" of the popular kids, madison purposely pushed me to the floor. kourtney being the person she is, helped me up and tried to defend me from her. madison was telling me to stay away from ricky because she had a massive crush on him and she was jealous that we were best friends. suddenly, ricky comes to the rescue, telling her to back off and leave us alone. when madison leaves, ricky pulls me to a tight hug asking me if i was ok and i reply saying i was ok. he then, cups my cheeks saying that he would protect me at all costs.
with love, nini.

dear future husband,
today was the day where my best friend, ricky and i were going to six flags. it was a treat that both our parents gave us since we were getting straight a's so far. when we got there, i was even more nervous to ride the rollercoasters. i didn't know it was that intense. i was begging ricky for us to not go on the ride but he insisted, telling me to "come on, live a little." he convinced me after saying those words. what's funny is that after we got off the ride, he said he wasn't feeling well then suddenly he puked all over my shoes. it was disgusting but luckily, i came prepared and brought an extra pair of shoes. he said that he was sorry and that he was willing to replace it. i said it was okay since i outgrew them anyway. at least i had fun. :)
with love, nini.
