My sister is the kind of person you always hear before you see—loud, outgoing, never short on something to say. She’s been my built-in best friend, the one I’ve always imagined standing beside me on my wedding day, just like we used to talk about growing up. She’s effortlessly funny, a perfectionist in the best way, and somehow turned into my personal wedding planner without missing a beat, and when the celebration starts, let’s just say… She can definitely keep up.

She’s the kind of friend who gives without ever thinking twice—the one whose home always felt like a safe place, whether it was escaping bad weather or just another spontaneous sleepover. A true cat lover with a mischievous streak, she’s equal parts angel and the devil on my shoulder, usually convincing me to join in on just a little more fun. We became instant best friends, laughing through everything, and somehow she not only tolerated all my work shenanigans—but jumped right in with me.
