Sister of the Bride.

Weddings are a blast, no? Give me a decent plate of wedding chicken, a steady supply of champagne, all my friends on the dance floor, and I’m quite the happy camper.

My sister’s wedding was no different– except as the maid of honor I had a few more duties than usual. No one took me up on my offer to trade outfits so they could make my speech for me (“Come on, no one will notice. It’ll be fine.”), so I had to suck it up and get on the microphone. I think I said, “Oh, I feel like Beyoncé,” into the mic at first (smooth, Ash), but the rest of the speech went as planned. My sister didn’t ruin her makeup with tears and I didn’t puke/collapse/hyperventilate. Success!

That’s a wedding wrap! (Praise, I don’t think I could take much more wedding planning.)

  1. That dress is so perfect on you!

    Congrats to your sister and I’m sure your speech was awesome- sounds like you were a hit!

    1. No kidding! Great fashion minds. 🙂 I’m obsessed with the dress- will definitely be wearing it every chance I get!

  2. So, so pretty, Ashley! I love this dress on you. And you picked the perfect hairstyle- young and fresh, but showcases that great neckline. Beautiful!

  3. Haha glad to hear your speech went well. The last wedding I went to was for my friends Mark and Danna. Mark’s brother Frankie got up to make a speech and spoke about all of Mark’s trials in dating before he met Danna. He spoke about how it can eventually happen for everyone and singled out our friend Fred (who is single) heh Fred was NOT a happy camper!
