Dear Kayla,
You get married tomorrow.
TOMORROW! I have tears in my eyes just writing that. Six
years ago today he asked you to be his girlfriend and tomorrow you become his
wife. Words just don't do the feelings in my heart justice. I'll
always be thankful to Chad and Tyler because their friendship brought about
ours. I always said that if Ty and I ended up not working out, I
know God had a plan in it all because he gave me you as one of my best friends.
From that first moment we connected
over Christian music in the car on the way to a Mary Kay meeting (can our
friendship GET any crazier!?) I knew that you would be a friend I would have
for a long, long time. The Lord knew we needed each other in that season
to encourage, challenge, and pray for one another. Thinking back on the
moments we spent together on our knees praying for our boyfriends fills my
heart to the brim. No one else in the world knows our relationship like
you do and no one else understands my heart in that like you do. We
walked the same road for a long, long time. There were moments we both
thought that we'd never make it to where we are now, but look at how faithful
our God is. We got to sit and watch the baptism of both of our
men... on the same day. God, you are so, so good! I am overwhelmed
to see His faithfulness in yours and Chad's life. My heart isn't ready
for you to be an Arkansas girl, but I know that the Lord has an amazing plan
for you there. I can't wait to see all He is going to do through your
marriage.
Be ready, sister, because
tomorrow when you walk down the isle to your new husband I'm going to be doing
the ugly cry for sure. I'll try to keep it under control, though. ;)
I'm so blessed to get the opportunity to stand beside you tomorrow.
You're one of the best friends I'll ever have and I will never be able to
express my thanks to you.
I can't wait to love on you this weekend. It's going to be a good one. You're almost Mrs. T.
Xoxo,
Nicole
