The Wife of Bryan

Al,
As I started to watch all of my friends get married years ago, I always kept a particular eye on who Bryan (your husband) would end up with. Not a literal eye, like a stalker, but more a protective eye on him. I had seen some of my friends, most who you do not know, enter into marriages that probably were not very healthy or that should not have been entered into at all.

Then Bryan married you, and it just made sense. It has been such a pleasure getting to know you over the years as well as to get to watch your marriage with Bryan. You are perfect for him in every way, and until you came along, I had a hard time envisioning the type of person it would take to deal with him (you know exactly what I mean). You are a fantastic mother and husband and so incredibly patient when he and I are in the same room.

I am so excited to continue sharing in your life with you and Bryan and to see you turn into a mother of billions of little Ray's. I know my future wife will certainly enjoy your company as well as we will hang out frequently. Thanks for being so loving and caring to one of my best friends. I wish you the best on your 30th birthday. By the way, you are old.
