Something new, something old, something borrowed, and something blue

One month before my sister Anne’s wedding last February, she was fussing about finding wedding accessories that are intricately gorgeous but way too expensive so she can’t afford them. She said those jewelry matches her turquoise studded bracelet (something blue) which she bought in Paris last year (something old) and mom’s wedding tiara (something borrowed). Since it’s going to be the first wedding in my family and I wanted to make sure Anne looks stunning on her wedding day, I asked her to bring me to the jewelry store and show me if the fuss was worth it.

When she pointed the matching turquoise studded necklace and earrings, I found myself chuckling. I saw the exact jewelry in a store near my place and they were on sale at that time! I told my sister that they were indeed expensive, but I’ll give it a thought on whether or not I’ll give those as a gift.

I bought those from the store near my place on my way home and asked them to deliver it to her one week before the wedding day. Before I know it, Anne was gushing over the phone on how happy she is with my gift (something new) and kept thanking me profusely. I laughed and said, “Stop thanking, and just make sure you get enough rest and look gorgeous on your wedding day!”

And yes, Anne IS one of the most gorgeous and happy brides I’ve seen in this lifetime. I’m happy for her. ^_^
