Bridesmaid

Something important is eating up my time lately that I don't have the time to blog. Or brush my teeth. So kidding!!! Lol. Well, my sister is gonna get married and I'm gonna be a bridesmaid! I'm so thrilled and excited. We've been preparing for this for more than a year now! My ate and the whole gang from NZ are going to be here for the wedding! We already have plans on the honeymoon! hehe. Our itinerary is polished for the whole month. And best of all, Riley is going to be a ring bearer for the first time! Did I mention I am sooo thrilled and excited?

But before the wedding of the century of  Navarro's and Magtanong's clan, Janice and I were so busy this past few months. This is the first time to have a grand wedding in our family and Janice and Denden were confronted with a multitude of decisions (and expenses) to make. So I help her ease the burden a bit and help in whatever way I can. What are my contributions for this wedding? Let me count the ways.

I help her choose their wedding date. (But they always have the final say!) Designed her invitations (with the help of photoshop of course). Designed her thank you cards as well. Cut, resized, glue gunned, double taped her invitations until it was perfect. Been to DV thrice for the supplies. Help her look for a souvenir. Been a PA, fashion stylist, photographer during her pre nup. Searched high and low for the best wedding songs. Perusing Pinterest for hours for the best wedding ideas I could find. Help her decide between barong or amerikana. Will "try" to do a save the date video. Will be doing 4 more videos to show on the reception. Is the one throwing a bridal shower for her. Encourage her, fight for her, tell her my honest truest opinion and talk her to sense at times.

Yun lang naman ang mga ginagawa ko para kay Janice. And what did I get in return?! Nothing! I'm a bridesMAID literally. Bakit di na lng ako maid of honor para tutulungan lang kita sa honor mo Janice! LOL.

But seriously, I'm not complaining. When I know that I can help her, I offer it to her wholeheartedly. I give her suggestions and positive critiques. I just want this wedding to be perfect! Because if there is one person who deserves to have the wedding of her dream, it is my sister. She is a good person. She is selfless, generous, and a very nice person. Mnsan tinatarayan na xa ng tindera sa divisoria pero smile pa rin xa. Its true, "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter is not a nice person at all." I've never seen Janice get mad at other person. Except me of course. Lol. Yes, we do fight and scream at each other's face but hey were sisters!

My dear beautiful little sister,
Thank you for everything. In case you didn't know, I Love You! Why do you think I put up with all these hard work for your wedding? Just be happy on your wedding. Smile. Enjoy the moment. Don't think too much. You are beautiful! I seldom admit this pero cge na nga I will say this in public - Mas maganda ka sakin! You will make a beautiful bride! Believe me, I never lie. :)
Love,
Your one and only bridesmaid.
