Bert got married yesterday

For as long as I can remember, Brittany has been my rock.

When there were twenty seconds left in a basketball game and we were down by 2, Brittany knew what to say to me to put my feet back on the ground. When we were losing a crucial match in volleyball and I was about to lose my cool, Brittany had the logical answer to the dump for the next play.

The only thing I’m sure I ever brought to our friendship was heat; I kept her fingers warm between plays or during warm-ups (Brittany has very long fingers that are ALWAYS 20 degrees too cold.)

Yesterday, though, she became someone else’s rock.

5 reasons why I know Brittany will make the best wife:

1. Whenever Marshal needs someone to come to bat for him, Brittany will be there.
2. Whenever Marshal’s head gets too big, Brittany will boss him around long enough to deflate it.
3. Whenever Marshal needs to make a decision, Brittany will always offer a logical solution.
4. Whenever Marshal needs light in his life, Brittany will prepare the greatest joke she can think of, and even her effort will be funny.
5. Whenever Marshal needs carbs, Brittany will offer a loaf of bread, as long as she hasn’t eaten the whole thing herself, because she tends to do that.

How do I know this? Because these are all of the things Brittany has done for me.

And although I don’t know Marshal as well, I’ve never seen anyone look at their wife the way he looks at her. We should all hope to find a heart to love us as big as his (not a big guy joke, I promise.)

I wish a lifetime of love and happiness on my friends as they make their move to Utah tomorrow. I hope they remember me when Marshal becomes the CEO of Google.
