Since the sandbox days

⚖️ Balanced 1.6 min read213 wordsChildhood Friend

Hi everyone, I'm [Your name]. [Groom's name] and I have been best mates since primary school, which basically means I know where all the bodies are buried. Metaphorically. Mostly.

We bonded over a shared love of football stickers and a mutual enemy in Mrs. Patterson's year three maths class. By secondary school, we were inseparable. We were the kind of friends who'd cycle to each other's houses at midnight for no reason other than boredom and a complete lack of parental supervision.

What I've always admired about [Groom's name] is his loyalty. He doesn't do friendships halfway. When he's your friend, he's your friend for life, no conditions, no expiry dates. I've tested that loyalty more than a few times over the years, and he's never wavered.

When he told me about [Bride's name], I could tell straight away this was different. He wasn't showing off or playing it cool. He was nervous. Genuinely, visibly nervous. And I thought, "Right, this is real."

[Bride's name], you should know that in twenty years of friendship, I have never seen him care about impressing someone the way he cares about impressing you. And that's not because he's changed. It's because you've shown him what's worth caring about.

To [Bride's name] and [Groom's name], may the next chapter be your best one yet. Cheers!
