Today I am here to give this speech to my best friend, my special person on this beautiful day.
When thinking of a special person in my life I always went straight to choosing out of the people who I see most often, never wanting to go past five feet ahead of me. My parents always told me that the people who are most important are those who are always there for me. As a little kid I imagined that special person as someone who I saw every second, minute and hour of the day, but I was surprised when I came to realize that my special person is someone who I no longer see everyday but every once in a while.
She and I have known each other for most of our lives, we´ve had our ups and downs with lessons learned whether they were the easy or hard way. At the end of the day we know we can always count on each other to come through and be there to support no matter the situation.
Its funny to think of her now as my favorite person now seeing as the first time we met we despised each other due to the many similarities that we had and it never helped that we rubbed it in each others faces trying to prove who is better than who with the many things our mothers could do while they were unaware that they were feeding onto the hate we had for each other. Eventually we learned that it would lead to nowhere hating on eachother and stopped, thankfully it opened up our eyes to see that it was good that we were similar in our ways of accomplishing things.
We never keep things that would hurt us later on from each other, we prefer to get riled up and pissed only for later to be fine and resolved then to hold it and eventually have an outburst of emotions causing bigger problems that could later ruin our relationship as friends. Sometimes we would forget the way we did things and say hurtful things to each other, unfortunately our similarities although good most of the times never always because often our thinking would cause crashing into on another always putting up excuses on why each idea was better than the others not wanting to say that maybe we were both right leading to not talking for weeks on end. I see now that we took those moments for granted.
Now being here standing in front of her I know we look back to those moments holding them close to our hearts knowing that they helped us become better people in and out of our friendship.
She is someone who I would consider my soulmate, the one who I wish to experience the wonders of life with. She has helped me through many rough times when not causing them herself.
I’m glad to honor her today at her wedding knowing she worked hard for it deserving anything that comes her way in this amazing life I know she has.
My life has become more exciting with her in it, never knowing what’s next.
I will always be thankful for having her as my special person in life.
Thank you so much for having me here with you on this special day.
