Matron of Honor Role and Dress

Hello there! I am back! Thanks to Anna for filling in while I was away.

I went home to the Philippines to attend my sister’s wedding and of course catch up with family and friends.

I was my sister’s matron (what a horrid word don’t you think???) of honor.

My role as Matron of Honor was to……

1. Host (and pay for) my sister’s (the bride-to-be) hen’s night
2. Be at her beck and call on the wedding day (it was so organised I didn’t really have to do much)
3. Say a few words (which turned out to be this melodramatic speech that made everyone cry!!!!)
4. Keeper of their cash wedding gifts (very common for Asian weddings to receive cash gifts)


Here is my gown:

and here I am shedding a tear or two at my sister’s walk down the aisle…..
