Dear Kim,
It’s hard to explain just how happy I am that you’re now my sister. You’re hilarious, kind, beautiful, smart, humble and fun-loving, and you’re everything I could ever wish for in a sister and friend. I’m so lucky.
You’re also perfect for my brother, and I’m beyond grateful that you found each other. Before you came onto the scene, Patrick seemed to worry about the future. But all of that stopped once he met you.
Because you are his future. He’s happier than he’s ever been, and he seems complete now. Life with you is fun, exciting, and filled with love–and that’s clear to everyone. :)
Thank you for making my brother so happy, Kim.
I’ll never forget the day that Patrick told me that he was going to ask you to marry him. He said that you’ve always been the one, and that he loves you more than anything. That everything makes sense with you.
(Awwww.)
Kim, you’ve become such an important part of our family. I love that you’re so involved, and that you attend every event–even when Patrick can’t because of work. (And I should add that you’re always the life of the party!) You keep up with the boys’ jokes and teasing (quite the feat!), and throw it right back at ’em. You never miss a beat.
It seems like you’ve always been a part of the fam.
Anyway, I’m so, so happy for you guys. I wish you all the love and happiness in the world, and while this post was written last week, I’m 100-percent positive that yesterday was perfect. (And an absolute blast!) Remember this feeling forever. You and Patrick are loved, supported adored by so many.
Especially me, hehe. Love you!
Love,
Kelly
Update: I’m sorry that I was a complete mess when you walked down the aisle. (I’m assuming I was, at least, haha.) Not only did my brother marry the girl of his dreams, the Sheehan family gained a seventh (absolutely fabulous) member! How couldn’t I have cried?! ;)
And Dr. Patrick Sheehan: I know that reading style blogs isn’t exactly your thing, and that you’ll likely never see this, haha. But I love you so much. While you’re my brother, you’re also one of my best friends. I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished, the person you’ve become, and the life you’re creating with Kim. Congratulations, Peaches! Here’s to a lifetime of family and love!
This is such a sweet and touching post!
Congrats to the happy couple!
xoxo,

Thank you so much, Allie! I will pass on the congratulatory message. You’re the sweetest!
That’s so sweet!! One of my sisters in law is just as you describe yours, and it is SUCH a gift in my life! It is such a blessing to know that our brothers are so happy, and married to wonderful women.
Oh my goodness, that’s the BEST. I feel so blessed and lucky to have Kim. You only want the best for your siblings, and I’m 100-percent confidence that Patrick got the best! :) xoxo!
Well…I’m in tears too! I’ve got two pretty great sister-in-laws and it’s the best! Yesterday had to be amazing…your little sneak peak on Facebook was so pretty. Congratulations to Kim and Patrick!!!
Awww! Susan, you are too cute. I love that our family is expanding in such wonderful ways. I’ve never been happier for my brother, and I can’t wait to see what life has in store. Crazy to think how far we’ve come… ;)
Thanks so much, Susan! :)
What a sweet letter! Congratulations to your brother!

Thank you, Emma! :)
If only more families welcomed new in-laws in such a loving way and truly accepted them as family. That would have made a world of difference for so many of us “old, married ladies.” ;-) You are lucky to have each other! Congratulations all the way around!
Thank you so much for that, Kay! I truly feel like the luckiest girl. I was welcomed into Mitch’s arms with open arms, so I learned from some pretty great people. ;) Again, thank you!!
Kelly you are too sweet! Congrats to Kim and your brother!
