Dear Mom and Dad,
I know you're not in the mood for a wedding so soon after losing Rebecca, so I wanted you to know that I'm just going through with tomorrow's ceremony because it's really important to Nick. He's such a good guy, and he's been really understanding about my wanting Oliver ... as a friend, I mean. I can do this for Nick, right? He's everything I could hope for in a husband: sweet, generous, fun-loving, intelligent, dependable, and I don't need to tell you the rest because you know how shallow I am. Do I need anything more? I could be really happy spending the rest of my life with Nick, so it shouldn't matter that he believes we'll live happily ever after and I still have my doubts. In a way, it makes me feel safe to know that he's confident when I'm not. And he does love me, and believe in me. I could grow to love him back the way he deserves.
If what we do tomorrow makes a difference, someday we could get married for real, and you would be there for everything. It feels strange to think that I'm starting a new life with the man I call my own, and you won't be there to give me away, when I owe everything that I am to your encouragement and love. (Except those shady dealings I got into - that was my idea, entirely.) I promise you that when it's the real big day for me, Dad, I wouldn't have anyone else as my best man, and Mom, the second dance is yours. And maybe I'll be just as worried and excited as I am right now. Was it like this for you when you got married?
I miss you.
Kyle
