It’s funny to think the girl who has been by my side my entire life is getting married. It feels like just yesterday we were playing with Barbies, our American Girl Dolls and dreaming about Steven from Laguna Beach. (Let’s be honest, we’re still dreaming about Steven form Laguna Beach.)
This girl is not just a girl. She is my sister. We’ve coined the term, a sister twice over. This is because she was there when I came into this world as a human and she was there as I came into this world as a Chi Omega sister. Sharing a bond that is not only biological, but through something greater than you, like Chi Omega, is a phenomenon that words cannot describe.
So my older sister is getting married. AH!!! And I am the Maid of Honor. (I like to think by choice, not default.) This means I was able to sit in on the dress shopping. That took place last weekend. Emily (PC ’07, and old President) was accompanied by yours truly, our fabulous mother, Emily’s future mother-in-law, and her future sister-in-law (She’s also a Chi Omega at UNC-Wilmington!) Although it was nothing like Say Yes to the Dress or Bridesmaids, we had the best weekend filled with fun, laughter and happiness. It truly is special to bring two families together, that are bonded by love. It’s also truly special to share such a milestone with my sorority sister, best friend and biological sister. With that said, Emily, if you are reading this, please remember that and do not put me in a hideous bridesmaid dress!!
Chi O Love and Mine,
