speech for my sissy and new bro
First off I would like to thank Marc and my sister for letting me be a part of their big day,and for those of you who know my sister, you know I never really had a choice.
My entire life she has always been the quintessential big sister, bossing me around, telling me what to do, picking on me and all that...but fortunately she has always looked out for me too. Over the years we have been many different things to each other partners in crime, stylists, therapists, worst enemies and best friends. Sometimes I call her my second mom because she has truly influenced the woman I am today, and I try really hard to live my life in a way that my sister would be proud of. She has always been someone to lean on, blame things on, and learn from. I find myself thanking her in my dreams for making mistakes before i could so that I knew not to do them or simply how to get out of them. I could have never been the older sister. So thank you.
We know each other in a way that only sisters who have shared a small bedroom for 18 years can..in that room there was a lot of laughing, a lot of crying, secret sharing, planning and fighting, you name it, we went through it together. And when she became a teenager and I became just the little sister who could never understand her world but wanted so badly to be apart of it, I did what any good little sister would do, I read her diary and used it as blackmail.
I remember adults would always tell us, as we were bickering that ONE day we would be best friends, but our biggest secret was, that we already were. She is the only person who I can be so angry with one minute, and the next be laughing with all in the same breath. Although we still fight and hit each other with brushes I know that one thing will always remain the same she will always love and support me, whether she likes me this week or not. I think that is what will make her a great wife.
I could not have chosen a better man than Marc to share my best friend with. He is patient, understanding, kind, a former gaucho, and most importantly an excellent dresser. Marc is an amazing and rather brave man for committing his life to my sister. I am comfortable sharing her with you, but if I am sure of anything Marc I am sure of this, she will boss you around, clean at inappropriate times and always be late, but she will also always love you, support you, challenge you, comfort you and look out for you. Don't argue with her if she has a brush in her hand, don't steal her clothes, and don't ever be afraid that she will leave you because she spent years training you, and she doesn't take that lightly. Take care of each other and keep making each other better. Give your hearts to one another unconditionally because that is what true love really is..It is not this fairytale life that never knows pain, or sorrow but two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love. And to borrow some words from Shakespeare, Love is not love which alters when alteration finds, when life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. Everyone is here today to celebrate your love because they believe in you as a couple. So keep believing in each other, be kind to one another and lastly to a love that will not alter, Congrats and I love you both

dont lose your faith in the good.
I'm going to start a meeting for over thinkers anonymous...where all the over thinkers can just get together and explain to each other what situation they have over analyzed this week. hi, I'm krystal and I'm an over thinker. This week it's past relationships. A year ago I was in Brazil, determined to experience a new culture and a new life. I wanted my independence back, I needed it! I left with many goals, but one was to break free of a bad relationship, and to remind myself that my life will most certainly continue without him. Looking back a year, I have achieved most of what I wanted. I have my independence back, I'm free...and for the first time in 5 years I feel SINGLE. I WAS single, I have been single for a LONG time, but it never felt that way because I had so much hope...that if I was faithful and cared he would realize that I was his best option. I still am his best option, obviously, but I have taken myself out of the running...I quit. The reason all this is coming back into play, is now that I am at home and exposed to the temptations and the bad habits I have something I haven't had in a while...common sense and renewed freedom. My life DID continue without him, and I experienced a beautiful country, and beautiful men :) Realizing this I have opened up a lot, I am happier and more willing to experience new relationships...I know I have come so far because I can FINALLY look at the relationship and I'm not angry or sad. I am just glad I'm not wasting anymore time. It may have taken me too long to realize this, but I am so freaking happy TO BE BACK. bring it on world. single and ready to mingle.
