I almost murdered my twin sister
But it was her wedding weekend, so I didn't.
Ang was all "Yay, I'm going to save money by DIYing stuff!". What she actually meant was "Yay, I'm going to save money by guilting Jen into DIYing everything for my wedding."
I won't get into every detail of the giant sh*tshow, but the morning of the wedding during getting ready time we:
-Sewed details onto the bridesmaid dresses
-Finished sewing and adding details to the wedding dress (Ang made her own dress)
-Put together, tied and floral taped the bouquets
- Made the seating chart
and finished putting together the programs and guestbook.
Ang sat all blissfully, getting her hair done, while my little sister and I killed ourselves getting this stuff done for her.
Here's a crappy picture with a friend at the reception. I am impressed at how well I am hiding my "You have taken years off my life this week and I don't love you anymore" feelings pretty well.
And a professional pic teaser. Those we're going to look teeny.
OH! And I made the cake and the cupcakes (seriously, I am the best sister). I wasn't totally happy, but I thought they turned out ok.
Re: I almost murdered my twin sister
I'm not even going to respond, dirty thread jacker. Oh wait....
Very nice. The cakes look great!
You are a good sister.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
You are entitled to one unprovoked fat joke or *** slapping aimed at your sister at a future date.
Dayum.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Thanks PDX! I tried.
Sorry Buddha. Howsabout you tell me all about your birthday plans in this thread? Would that rectify the situation?
Well, you look cuter than she does on her wedding day, so take that Ang!
Confession: For the first half of your post I was assuming that Ang was your sister's pushy Asian BFF and I was all, "why does this chick get so much say in someone else's wedding?"
I'm not at my sharpest today.
Thanks Moo, although my sister has an abundance of gift cards from her wedding, so I'd rather skip the fat jokes and just steal a couple of those.
Is that kosher?

Fallin, does it make me a bad person that I love you a lot a lot for that comment? Because I do.
Holysh*t HT, I was shaking with silent laughter, I'm pretty sure my coworkers were side eyeing.
You look so pretty! And you did a great job on the cake. Is the white part icing or is there something texture-y on there?
I generally give people a pass on their wedding days, but I think your sister deserved a kick in the shins.
The nerve!

You may take three gift cards, the sum of which are not to exceed $150 to any one establishment.
Cali and I are in agreement.

Aw, thanks SB! And yes, there are coconut flakes on the cake.
I really do love my sister, but she is just so flighty and has awful time management skills, and is often really entitled. She did deserve a kick in the shins that day.
A hundred and fifty bucks? Sweet!
OH, another little ditty about her wedding. I booked the hotel room for the videographer, with Ang saying she'd make sure to pay for it when she checked out at the end of the weekend. And also bought 250 bucks worth of cake stuff and decorations because she "didn't have time and would write a cheque as soon as she got into town". She did not pay for the hotel room when she checked out, so I got a surprise $300 charge on my credit card.
We'd already given them a wad of cash for their wedding present. When I nicely was like "umm, can I get my 500 plus bucks back?" She texted me "Ask mom or dad."
She's the youngest, isn't she?

I kind of hate your sister. You and your cakes look fantastic! And I agree with Fallin.
The court has amended the gift card ruling. You may now take $500 worth of any combination of cash, goods, or gift cards from her wedding gifts.

Thanks Noisy.
No, she is not the youngest, although she might as well be sometimes.
I'm technically the oldest (by 30 seconds...), but it's always been like I've been the oldest and she and our little sister have been the babies. It's gotten worse in the last 5 years though.
It's cool though, she made up for it by bringing me a bookmark from Hawaii.
Oh, sister love.
