A Letter To My Sister on Her Wedding Day

After all the meticulous planning, finding your dream dress, trying to get you to stick to one colour theme and being on your case about how unorganised you are. It’s over. It’s your wedding day and I can’t quite believe that my little sister is finally marry the man of her dreams. Today is the day that you have been dreaming about since we were as a little as I can remember. We always knew that this day would be something so special, and I know that you have made even more that I could have ever imagined. I honestly cannot wait to see you walk down the aisle in your beautiful dress towards the man of your dreams to start a new chapter in your life.


Looking back, Sarah-Jayne, you were an amazing little sister to me. If I'm being completely honest with you I don't think I really appreciated all you did for me growing up. Pretty much every single one of my memories as a child has you in them. We have climbed trees, paddled in streams and got into some mischief. We would spend most of our time playing together and loved to dress up in mum and dad's clothes, you had the quirkest style, I will forever remember that gorgeous blue dress of yours and you deciding to pair them with muddiest boots you could find. Or that time me, you and Stephen decided to make our own tent out of blankets and made plans to sleep in the garden after Mum and Dad told us no. As we were send to bed, Stephen helped us sneak out the back door, and he followed shortly after. We were all so excited that our plans had worked, until the thunderstorm came and we all got drenched, along with all our pillows, blankets and duvets! I don't think I even need to go into the time you locked us in Dad's Mini when he was doing some repairs on the engine, he was so mad! We really were little terrors, our poor parents. We great partners in crime. We have grown up side by side with one always catching the other when we fall, and making sure that we encourage each another during time of success.




We have been through so much as sisters and I feel so lucky to be able to call you my sister, my best friend. And even though we have had battles in our time we have seen them through the only way sisters can come back from. We have learned so much from on another. You have taught me to be kind and patient, and gave me the best advice when I came into the wonderful world of parenthood. A friendship may know all of your best stories, but a sister is the one who lived them with you. That's exactly what we have through those years, lived. 






There was no one else I would have wanted by my side as I married the man of my dreams and now I get to do the same for you. Our bond is stronger than most and stronger than ever before, and I will stand beside you today like I have our entire lives and continue to do so no matter where life take us. I am so thankful to you have a sister like you! You have finally made it into marriage club! 💕


Love your best friend and sister for life, Kelly-Anne.
