Commemorative Speech - Tarah Frye (Sister and Maid of Honor to the Bride -Lauren
When my sister originally asked me to speak at her wedding I was stumped. I'm not one to speak or show my emotion or even show it so I've decided to just talk about our odd relationship. There are many thngs I'd do for her, but this is among the hardest. I'd be her workhorse, her hair stylist, her second opinion, her house cleaner, her punching bad and over-all life line to organization, but to try to sum up 21 years of sisterhood and friendship is down right imposssible. I can't put into words our loving moments, the fights, the lessons learned, the tears shed or the ridiculous moments that only we understand. I can't tell you why or how we can look at each other and know exactly what each other are thinking. I don't know how we are incredibly different yet so similar. Fact is our friendship is indescribable. Even our Mom doesn't always get included. Being very protective of my sister I allowed Jack in with caution. Luckily, he caught on quickly and figured out you don't get one without the other. Even when Jake began planning his proposal he asked my thoughts, opinions, and ideas. When the day came I ended up hiding behind a fence in the middle of a fairly crowded bricktown with a camera at 1:30am, April 28, 2012. Jake and I had diligently planned out where he was going to be when he got down on one knee, what he was going to say, and the way he'd be facing so I could capture the moment on my camera. Of course nothing goes as you envision it. I didn't envision crouching in a corner and trying to explain to passing drunks what I was doing. But the bottom line is I'd sit there all over again if it meant my sister and her special man got their special moment.
