So my younger sister is getting married next month.....and I'm the Matron of Honor. Soon into the wedding planning, she asked me if I was in fact going to give a speech and then followed with a comment making it sound like I had no choice....."ugh, a speech?" I thought, sounds like a good time! After leaving an alterations appointment with her a few weeks ago I asked if she still had her speech from my wedding....

...as you can see it was an emotional one, she looked at me and said "I think so, why?" I said, "do you think I could borrow it?" The look she gave me after it clicked was nothing like the one in the picture below :)

So I've been thinking about this speech. Over and over. It runs through my head- make sure it's funny, make sure it's heartfelt, make sure you make them cry while trying not to be too much of a gush yourself. My older sister said to me the other night, "just google #maidofhonorspeech and I'm sure you'll find some great ideas!" This made me laugh of course but I thought...hmm, what a GREAT idea! Of course I want to write from my heart and I don't want to steal other speeches- so the #knot.com was enough help to give me some guidelines. So tonight I started to write some things down, referencing some conversations my sister and and I have had about her now fiance....and now my once dreaded speech is half finished :)
