Mike,

The first day I met you, all the way back at the church youth group, I knew you were going to have a big impact on my life. Then, later, when you told me you hated me when you first met me, I knew you were going to be a part of my life forever. 

You have been my mentor, my course correction, my assuredness, and my brother. You've been by my side for every pitfall and every peak. And it would be the honor of a lifetime to have you by my side again, for the next peak.

As you know, my wedding is rapidly approaching, and there are only a handful of people I want by my side on that day. 

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