Josh,

You're friendship to me has meant more than I can ever express, despite all of my attempts. Our friendship has not always been the easiest, as I know my selfishness and stubbornness has strained us to the breaking point more than once. Despite that, you always saw the best in me and tried to make me see it too.

There is no doubt that I'm a better man than I was when I first met you, and certainly much better than when you first moved back from Arizona. You carry the brunt of that improvement and I am forever grateful for that.

You are my closest friend and my favorite brother. You've been by my side through all of the UPS and downs in my life.

It would be the honor of a lifetime if you would be by my side again, for my next big moment.

As you know, my wedding is rapidly approaching, and there is no one I would rather have as best man than the best man I know. 

Would you do me the kindness of accompanying me at the altar on October 15th?
