Excited – I picked my flower girl! It was pretty easy actually; it turns out that I don’t know that many young girls so Elise was a natural choice. Her father and grandparents work with my parents, and my father is her godfather, which makes me her godsister! I’ve noticed that the god-relationship isn’t very strong in America, but in the Philippines your godparents and god-siblings are supposed to be a very important part of your life.
Anyway I went to see her grandmother (I’m closest to her) to run the idea by her and she thought it would be great so I went to Elise, who is three, with a pretty little note asking her to be my flower girl. She immediately said yes, albeit a bit shyly because everyone was kind of standing around her waiting for her response but I can tell she’s super excited, as I am.
She’s quite pretty, with sweet big brown eyes and a pretty spunky personality. Best of all, she’s a fashion addict like me – starting off at an early age! So I’m sure she’ll lend a very sassy start to my procession. Just need to go on a shopping spree to find a pretty dress for her! I think I’d like to go with something extremely poufy, à la Cinderella, with lots and lots of tulle. Something mainly white with perhaps a green ribbon and flowers for her hair!
