Emily & Her Manly Man

My time in Accra and at "You Know Where" would have been dull and forgettable without you — and honestly, I can't even imagine what it would've looked like. I don't want to imagine it.

You are so kind. So, so kind. You've always had my back the way Hermione and Ron have Harry's — fiercely, quietly, and without question. I carry that with me every single day.

I miss you more than words can hold. I miss our movie marathons during work hours (don't tell anyone), the way we'd completely unravel after finishing a show, and how Heavy Spoilers is probably still recovering from us. I honestly don't remember if you're Ravenclaw or Gryffindor — but as long as you're not Slytherin, we're golden( I know you arent't. Maybe on some days but mostly not).

Today, I am overflowing with happiness for you. I pray that your marriage stands firm through every test and every trial. I hope that smile — the one you always try to hide behind the back of your hand — never, ever fades. I hope you never change. I pray you keep being you, Emily. And with some luck, this wedding gets me some needed photos. So that my friends stop thinking you're a myth or something

Congratulations, love. You deserve all of this and so much more.
