My sister Hannah is my Maid of Honor. Hannah and I have always been close, she is and always will be my best friend. I still remember before she was born asking my Mom for a baby sister. I'm not sure if my motivation was to have a best friend, or because I was into dolls at the time, and I wanted a real life doll to play with, but either way I am so lucky to have such a wonderful sister.
Hannah and I grew up spending a lot of time together. Our parents took us on 18 hour car trips across the country, weekend camping trips, and we both were on the swim team. Most of the time we got along, although we did have the occasional fight over clothes, as most teenage sisters do, but we never stayed mad at each other for long. Then I moved out to North Dakota, and eventually to Seattle, and although we don't get to spend as much time together we are closer than ever, and I am honored to have her be a part of our wedding.
