Dear Hamo,

I wanted to create something that you can look at today, tomorrow, or even a few years from now to celebrate our friendship and congratulate you as you move forward in the next chapter of your life.

First and foremost, I want to say congratulations. Today marks not just the beginning of a new chapter, but the continuation of a story that has already been filled with countless memories, challenges overcome, and dreams realised. Watching you grow into the person you are today has been nothing short of inspiring, and I couldn't be happier for you as you take this monumental step forward.

Marriage is a beautiful journey, one that is built on trust, understanding, and a lot of patience. I know you and Cait have what it takes to make that journey not just successful, but deeply fulfilling. You've always been someone who values loyalty and commitment, and I have no doubt that those qualities will shine through as you build your life together.

I'm incredibly grateful to have shared so many memories with you up to this point. From the early days when everything was about fun and freedom, to now where life is about building something meaningful and lasting. Those memories will always hold a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to create even more as you embark on this new adventure.

When I think of us, I think about those adventures we've had. Traveling together through Vietnam and Thailand, exploring new places, getting lost, and finding our way back with stories to tell. I still remember the day you took me flying before my uni graduation and I just made it back in time. And of course, there's the beers we've shared in every season summer, winter, spring, and autumn at some locales like Stomping Ground and the Green or Beer Corner. It didn't matter what the weather was like, as long as we had a beer in hand good times ensued. Over the years the countless runs, no matter the pace, are always memorable.

You've been there for me in the hard times but also in all the good times. When I think of you, that's what I think about and feel a true mate who's been beside me over the journey and continues to be.

Know that I'm always here for you. Whether it's to celebrate the good times, work through the challenges, or simply share a laugh, you can always count on me. That's what friendship is for, and I'm proud to call you my mate.

Wishing you and Cait a lifetime of love, happiness, and endless adventures. May this be the beginning of everything you've ever dreamed of and more.

Congratulations again, Hamo.

Love from Sammy
