Life Event: My Sister’s Wedding

The phone rang one evening in December
My sister was engaged, what a call to remember!

Maid of Honor I was named
All of our excitement couldn’t be tamed!

To follow were months of planning and stress
But all was worth it when she found the perfect dress.

Flowers, music, decorations galore
Bridal showers, food, limos, and so much more.

Everything planned by my sister and her fiancé too
For the ceremony when they would say “I do”.

The big day finally arrived
It was July 9, 2005.

I was happy for my big sis
But I cried a lot and was shocked at this.

Rolling down my cheeks were many tears
I couldn’t stop thinking of the memories over the years.

So close we’ve become, so much we’ve shared
From the tears, laughter, and support, she knows I’ve cared.

Mrs. Matt McKay she became that day
But I know she’s only a phone call away.

Although we’re separated by many miles
I know she sends me lots of smiles.

A good wife, mother, and sister to me
A woman like her, I strive to be.
