So, I accept your love, Brooks. I allow you to love me forever and ever and ever.

I started planning the wedding.

It’s in a few days, in the woods, where you boys always go fishing. I always wanted to get married by the water like my mama and daddy.

You better wear a tie and not that ugly mud-colored one you wore to church last Sunday. Get some of your dad’s cologne, too. I know you’re a boy, but you don’t have to smell like one.

I love you, Brooks Tyler Griffin.

Forever and ever and ever.

Your soon-to-be wife,

Maggie May

P.S. I accept your apology that you never gave me. Jamie said you were sorry, so you don’t have to worry about me being mad.

Maggie May,

I. Don’t. Like. You! Go away forever and ever and ever.

Your NOT soon-to-be husband,

Brooks Tyler

A note to the boy who is funny

By: Maggie May Riley

My Brooks Tyler,

You make me laugh. Jamie said you’d reply like that.

What do you think about the colors purple and pink for the ceremony? We should probably move in together, but I’m too young to have a mortgage. Maybe we can stay with your parents until you get a steddy steady job to support me and our pets.

We’ll have a dog named Skippy and a cat named Jam.

-Your Maggie May

A note to the girl who is still crazy

By: Brooks Tyler Griffin

Maggie,

We are not gett

ing married. We are not having pets. We aren’t even friends. I HATE YOU, MAGGIE MAY! If your brother wasn’t my best friend, I’d never talk to you EVER! I think you’re crazy.

Skippy and Jam? That’s stupid. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Besides, everyone knows Jif is the best peanut butter.

NOT YOURS,

Brooks
