To the best cousin in the whole world,

Words cannot describe how much it means to me that you were such an integral part of our wedding, despite your current work schedule.

I’ve always known that we would be the best of friends, and you’ve only proven the point further by gifting the lovely book of memories from our childhood together. It’s a gift that I will share with my new family on many occasions.

I hope to see you again soon, and please do come spend time with us here in Florida!

Thank you notes may feel like a chore to many and/or are looked upon as a part of wedding etiquette to put off for much later, but they can be a great walk down memory lane.
