Always an Honor

This December I’ll be headed back home for Christmas (a truly OFW experience) and also to attend my younger sister’s wedding in Tagaytay as her Maid of Horror, er, Honor. It’s only the second time I’ve been a Maid of Honor, the first at my best friend’s wedding in New York. The “honor” part is so apt...I feel truly privileged to be asked to perform this role while the most important women in my life pledge their own lives to another. I cried when I gave my best friend the reception toast. And I was especially touched when my sister asked me. I said, “Sigurado ka? Eh ang tanda ko na!” and her reply? “Sino pa ba?”

Of course I’m also excited about the wedding and reception which is conceptualized by a truly creative couple, and of course, my Maid of Honor dress which is so unique and usable! None of that flower and ruffle crap. My sister blogged about it in her wedding site, and I’m reposting it here.

(Unrelated to the topic, the dress I’m wearing in the photo she used is the Shanghai Tang one I bought in Wondermomo for only US$34, and I visited the Shanghai Tang shop in Bangkok and saw the current collections retail for triple that. Someone keep me away from the store whilst I’m in money-saving mode!)
