Reason number 1 why I missed out on debating in Worlds and chose to go home for the holidays: Wedding in the Family!!
My cousin, Mary Anne married her boyfriend of six years, TR. The last wedding in the family was when I was still little and was the flower girl for all seasons (haha) and my twin brothers would be the ring bearer and coin bearer package.
One of the best things about Ate’s wedding is that all my cousins from the States flew home after a couple of years of not visiting. We had a full house the whole vacation, and I couldn’t be any happier than having my hands full with little nephews and nieces I haven’t met since they were born, or helping mommy cook Filipino food for the people who constantly ask for fish, Chippy and delicacies from the Philippines via FedEx or something.
I wonder who’ll get married next in the family?
