Maid of Honor
Monica and I have been best friends for almost 25 years! We lived 2 houses down from each other growing up, so we spent a lot of time together. She has spent so much time with my entire family that she pretty much has been adopted by them and my parents refer to her as their "other daughter" Growing up, there was always this on going joke that Monica must have been able to smell dinner coming from our house, down the street to hers. It didn't matter what time dinner was, as soon as we sat down, the phone would ring or she would just be at the door lol. We have been thru so much over the years, there's not even enough space to write it all. So many memories together and so happy to have her standing by my side.
