You know that old saying... "Always the Bridesmaid, never a bride"? Well it does not apply to me. I was a bridesmaid once, with my college friend Mai. Imagine she chose me to be the candle sponsor because I smoke (before). She told me that I would really know how to use the matches. Hillarious, huh?
But being a bridesmaid is not really my thing. There's too much pressure that I just can't take. I fear that I'll do some stupid thing that will ruin the wedding. So after that one time I made it really clear to my friends that I will never be their bridesmaid. That just broke my bestfriend's heart. But I make it up with her by being her wedding coordinator.
And her wedding coordinator I became... I was with her when we checked out the church where she will be married. I went with her to Dangwa to look for flowers. I burned the songs for their program, help her in the souvenirs and invitations, run errands before/on/after her wedding and do almost everything that a paid coordinator should do. And the best thing about me is... I'm free! :)
Yup! that's the role I want to play on my friends' weddings. I want to be the one who's doing the dirty job for them or with them. I want to make their dreams come true of having a (an almost) perfect wedding. And watching the film 27 Dresses I can't help but see myself in Katherine Heigl's character. Like her I love weddings too. I love that part where the Bride is about to walk down the aisle looking very beautiful in her wedding gown, looking straight ahead to her groom who is standing at the altar eagerly looking at his soon-to-be-wife, while their wedding song is playing on the background. That's why for me this part should be perfect. From the entourage, the wedding song, up to the bride's entrance, it mus be perfect. And we did that on my best friend's wedding but that will cover a different story.
Now, I'm just waiting for my next friend who will be insane enough to tie the knots and would choose me to help her on the preparations. And just so you know, I also do baptismal, birthdays, office parties... I could even organize a funeral party for you. I'll assure you it would be a blast! Hahaha!
