Hello, everyone!
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Emily, Lily’s twin sister. Yes, we’re twins, and no, we don’t always think alike, although we did once wear matching outfits until we were about 12. But today, I’m honored to stand here as her sister, her twin, and her best friend as she marries the love of her life, Jack.
Being Lily’s twin sister means I’ve had a front-row seat to all of her adventures, from the ridiculous teenage phases (which I’ll save for another time!) to the big, beautiful milestones like today. It’s been an incredible journey growing up side by side, and I feel so lucky to have shared every moment with her.
Lily and I have always had this special connection. We’ve shared everything, clothes, inside jokes, and even thoughts sometimes! But what has always stood out to me is Lily’s heart. She’s caring, compassionate, and always puts others first. I’ve watched her grow into the most amazing person, and now, as I see her standing here today with Jack, I know she’s found someone who truly understands and cherishes her.
When Lily first told me about Jack, I could tell this wasn’t just another casual relationship. There was a new excitement in her voice, the kind that only comes when you’ve found someone really special. And when I met Jack, I immediately saw why. He’s kind, funny, and has a way of bringing out the best in Lily. And let’s be honest, anyone who can keep up with Lily’s energy and her constant obsession with iced coffee deserves a medal!
Jack, I want to officially welcome you into the family, though I think you’ve been part of it for quite some time now. You’re perfect for my sister, and I know you’ll make her happier than anyone ever could. I also want to thank you for being her rock and her biggest supporter, especially during the times when she might have driven you a little crazy (I should know, I’ve been there).
Lily, my sweet twin, you’ve always been my other half. Whether we were plotting mischief as kids or supporting each other through the ups and downs of life, you’ve been my constant. And seeing you so happy with Jack makes me happier than I can put into words. You deserve every bit of love and joy that comes your way, and I know you and Jack will build a beautiful life together.
So, to both of you, Lily and Jack, may your journey together be filled with endless love, laughter, and plenty of iced coffee (for Lily’s sake!). I couldn’t be prouder of my twin sister and the incredible person she’s chosen to share her life with.
Let’s all raise our glasses to the happy couple! Here’s to Lily and Jack, cheers!
