I hope you are doing well. I received your marriage invitation yesterday and I’m so excited and happy for you.
After waiting for so long, finally, you have found your perfect match. I feel ecstatic after hearing this amazing news. You have been planning for your wedding since our college days. I still remember how you always blushed even at the thought of getting married.
At first, I was confused to decide what could be the best present for your special day. So, after thinking a lot I decided to gift you a wedding dress. Yes, It is the same dress that you always wanted to purchase but couldn’t, because there was no particular reason to buy it.
As you know, I have relocated to New York because of my new job, I am afraid I would not be able to attend your wedding. I hope you would understand the criticality of my situation. However, I promise to come and visit you after you will return from your honeymoon.
I wish you all the luck and happiness for your future.
Bestwishes,
Hina
