To
Our
Dearest
Emily
&
Ben
Good
evening
,
everyone
!
For
those
of
you
who
don
’
t
know
me
,
I
’
m
Jessica
,
Emily
’
s
older
sister
and
her
very
proud
Maid
of
Honor
.
Standing
here
today
,
looking
at
Emily
and
Ben
,
is
truly
a
moment
I
’
ve
dreamed
about
for
both
of
them
.
Emily
:
My
Sister
,
My
Friend
Emily
,
my
little
sister
.
It
feels
like
just
yesterday
we
were
building
forts
in
the
living
room
and
fighting
over
who
got
to
pick
the
movie
.
You
’
ve
always
had
this
incredible
light
about
you
–
a
blend
of
fierce
determination
and
the
kindest
heart
.
I
’
ve
watched
you
grow
into
such
a
remarkable
woman
,
always
staying
true
to
yourself
,
always
chasing
your
passions
with
an
unshakeable
spirit
.
You
make
everyone
around
you
feel
seen
,
heard
,
and
loved
.
I
’
m
so
incredibly
proud
of
the
person
you
are
,
and
even
prouder
to
call
you
my
sister
.
"
She
has
always
been
the
one
to
find
the
magic
in
the
mundane
."
I
remember
one
time
,
when
we
were
kids
,
we
were
on
a
family
camping
trip
.
It
started
pouring
rain
,
and
everyone
was
miserable
,
ready
to
pack
up
.
But
Emily
?
She
grabbed
two
trash
bags
,
turned
them
into
ponchos
,
and
declared
it
an
adventure
.
She
found
joy
and
wonder
in
everything
,
and
that
’
s
a
quality
I
’
ve
always
admired
and
tried
to
emulate
.
When
Emily
first
told
me
about
Ben
,
I
knew
this
was
different
.
She
spoke
about
him
with
a
sparkle
in
her
eyes
I
hadn
'
t
seen
before
.
She
described
his
patience
,
his
humor
,
and
the
way
he
looked
at
her
like
she
was
the
only
person
in
the
room
.
And
when
I
finally
met
Ben
,
I
understood
.
He
complements
Emily
perfectly
,
adding
a
calm
strength
to
her
vibrant
energy
.
He
’
s
kind
,
he
’
s
steady
,
and
it
’
s
clear
to
everyone
how
much
he
adores
her
.

Emily
,
you
