I'm Emily, I'm from IL and the maid of honor. Julie and I have been best friends for 6 years. We had the ideal single life. We could always do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. We've had the opportunity to travel, seeing different people and new places without being tied down to anything….Well I still have that Julie doesn't. All our stories together are X rated so I'm going to tell you one that includes my mom. One time when Julie came to visit me in IL we went to the beach with my mom. We were both setting up our towels while my mom got her chair out. As soon as we got settled in 3 hot guys set up near by. We're both focused on getting our tan on when my mom goes: I bet I know what those guys are thinking….. and I quote "Okay, now which one of us gets the mom….." Those guys never did come over and talk to us and its kinda funny because guys tend to just fall at Julie's feet. Take for instance the time she was at my house for my graduation party. There was this one guy who thought he could get any girl he wanted. So I said "Hey Julie! I got someone for you to meet!" without fail Jake started hitting on her and calling her "Miss South Dakota" so Julie went with it until he asked her out… and it was BAM! Rejection in his face! And this is not an isolated case. This happened quite frequently even to the point where I knew I had to wait to find a guy until after Julie was married because I didn't want her leftovers. annnnnd then Jordon came along. I was shocked that he won her over in just 4 months!!
When I was out here in August we were all going to meet up for ice cream. Julie and I were upstairs in her room getting ready and I noticed she looked super nervous, so I asked "Julie what's your deal? Why are you so nervous about this guy when you don't have any problem rejecting someone you don't like…" she simply replied with "I think I might like this one…" and the next time I came to visit I'm taking their engagement pictures!"
He must have won her over pretty good if he got the job done in only 4 months!
Julie and I have done everything together, some things we can't talk about. I call her my partner in crime. if she was going through something so was I. There wasn't a moment we weren't involved in siring up unnecessary drama which by the way I didn't write this speech alone. I had a little help from Miss South Dakota.
