Belated Wedding Wishes: Heartfelt Messages & Apologies

Okay, so maybe I’m *slightly* late to the party. Like, the honeymoon is probably over, the thank you notes are sent, and the beautiful wedding cake is but a distant memory. I feel absolutely terrible about it. Life just has a way of sneaking up on you, doesn’t it? Before you know it, weeks (or… okay, maybe months) have flown by, and you’re left wondering where all the time went.

And the thing is, you two are such an amazing couple! Seeing the photos of your special day just reinforced that. You both radiate such joy and happiness, and it’s clear you’re meant to be together. Knowing that I missed celebrating with you both when it actually happened feels really awful, especially because you deserve all the well wishes in the world and more.

So, please accept my sincerest (and very belated!) congratulations on your wedding. I am sending you all my love and wishing you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and adventure together. I can’t wait to hear all about it when we finally get together and I get to properly celebrate with you!
