My brother and his fiancée just set their wedding date – in July 2014.
That makes four weddings in the family set for next summer. Puppy and I kick-off the nuptuals in early June, followed by Anda the next week, Roman Candle the week after and now Duder in July! I know the first three will be held in Dallas, or around Dallas. I wonder where Duder will have his. I’m hoping he’ll continue the trend and have it in Dallas. It’ll be like when we were kids again – an “H-Kids” reunion – all family hanging out all the time. (Junebug, Duder, Anda and I were nicknamed the “H-Kids” when we were little because we were always together and our last names all start with an ‘H.’ We even had H-Kid jackets.)
While we’re talking about weddings, Anda officially asked me to be her bridesmaid a few weeks ago in the sweetest way! She presented a box with my initial on it, and when I opened it, it was filled with photos of us from childhood to adulthood and a sweet note asking me to be her bridesmaid “to help make a new memory.”
Now we’re going to be in each other’s weddings… a week apart. I’d always thought she’d be my maid of honor but couldn’t ask her to take on such a big role with her wedding a week after mine. Also, I’ve gotten very close to my other cousins in the past few years and the proximity of our weddings let me ask another cousin without feeling like I was leaving her out.
I asked her to be one of my bridesmaids in December, when everyone was in town, along with three other cousins, with hand made custom bridesmaid paper dolls, which I’ve decided to sell on Etsy.
