my maid of honor

There is this one particular person I have always looked up too. She is beautiful, smart, talented, crafty, and so much fun. From the time I was born, this girl has been my role model. This girl just happens to be my sister, Emily. She has the biggest heart out of anyone I know. She has taught me so much throughout my life, such as how to walk by pushing a baby stroller around the house to learning how to love people with my entire heart.

 

Emily is two years older than I am. I remember always trying to act like her when I was younger. I would wear her clothes, try to do my makeup the exact same way as she did, and style my hair just like her.  I would tag along with her and her friends everywhere she went. I’m sure this drove her crazy but I did not care. I wanted to do everything she did. In my eyes, she was the coolest person I knew. Being so close in age we got the privilege of being on the same dance team and also being in high school together. High school can be so tough for teenage girls, but having your older sister there is always a bonus because you have your big sister  there to help you out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Devin and I first started dating, she did not approve of him at all. She constantly told me that I shouldn’t date him and that he wasn't right for me. Looking back now, this is probably because her 14 year old baby sister was falling in love with a 16 year old boy. A broken heart was something that she feared for me. Emily has always been there to protect me in any situation I’ve been in. When there is no one else around, she is always there by my side.

 

 

 

One of the best things about my sister is that she never gives up on me. No matter what I am trying to endure in life, she is my motivator and my life coach.  Not everyone can say that their best friend is their sister and I am so thankful for the relationship that we have. Our life has not always been a walk in the park but with the help of my sister, we have overcome so much.

 

Emily knew all about the proposal. Devin had told her all about it weeks before he popped the question. I don’t know how she kept it a secret for so long. I can usually tell when she’s got a juicy secret she wants to tell me! She participated in the proposal by taking me “down memory lane” to where Devin had the video for me to watch on the tailgate of his truck. I am so honored that she was a part of that special day. The relationship that Emily and Devin have is so awesome. They act like brother and sister. Seeing her baby sister grow up I’m sure is not an easy thing to do, but I think she approves of Devin now and is willing to let Devin take my hand in marriage.

 

 

 

 

I am so honored to be able to have my sister as my maid of honor. I can’t image anyone else standing beside me on that day. She has done a fabulous job this far of fulfilling the maid of honor duties; and I know she will be the best at keeping me organized and sane!

 

I love you so much “minner”

-your baby sister
