HERE COMES THE BRIDE....

 

MIAMI,FL

LISTENING TO: BRIGHT EYES

In a few days I will be walking down the aisle….

No, I am not getting married. My oldest Niece is getting married. She has been dating her soon to be husband for several years now. 

It is so hard to believe that she is getting married; it was just the other day that we were at my house and we were dressing up, putting on a show in the living room, putting on makeup, and playing with Barbies. 

Our relationship was not a typical aunt and niece relationship. It was more like a sister relationship.

I had sisters but they were much older than me, my niece is about 2 years younger than me. So imagine we would do mostly everything together. I do miss that relationship that we had. 

You sometimes wish things didn’t have to change, wish you can stay little and enjoy those beautiful moments with one another and keep playing and pretending to be Cindy Crawford and Christy Brinkley. We are older now; she is marrying the man of her dreams, her soul mate.

I really do believe that is her other half.

The relationship has grown so beautifully, the respect and love that they have for one another is amazing you don’t see that these days. I have a very good example in my life with the relationships around me. My sisters, brothers and parents are all in very beautiful, committed relationships and you feel and see the love when you are around them. 

The one thing that I want for my niece and soon to be nephew would be an everlasting relationship, just like the ones that they have around them. They have many examples that are in there lives. His parents have been together for a very long time as well and the love that you see with the both of them is one in a million.

Even though we have had our differences in the past, we will always be family and we will always love one another.

She is starting out not a new chapter in her life, but a brand new book. I am very excited for this new book and to be a part of it. It has been amazing to watch the little girl that I once new grow up to be such a beautiful woman. And I am extremely honored to stand by her on this day, it will be a very emotional day for me and I know for a lot of the family and loved ones. It will be a beautiful memory in my book to have always and forever. It was just a year ago I got to witness the beauty and serenity of one of my sisters getting married, and what a beautiful moment that was for me. Now I get to watch this woman who I watch grow do the same.

I can’t give relationship advice, because I am not in one, I can’t give marriage advice, because I have never been married, I can give advice as someone a bit older and a little bit wiser who has been through there fair share of things in life.

Advice:

*Don’t go to bed angry

*Communicate with one another

*If you are angry, cool down and then talk to one another

*don’t ever stop making out, even when you are eighty years old (makes you feel young)

*respect one another

*give each other space

*don’t yell at one another (discuss things)

*compromise

*have lots of sex

*make each other laugh

*do not lie (no matter what)

*always remember that you are each other’s best friend

Carolina, I know you are going to look beautiful on your wedding day I have no doubt about it. All I can say is thank you for the memories that we have had together and the memories we will continue to have with one another. I treasure every moment that I have with you. I know you have thought otherwise in the recent months, but all I can say to you is that I love you and I want nothing but the best for you and your happiness, and I truly hope one day that I find a man that makes me happy the way Luis makes you happy and complete. Be calm on your day, because this is your day, and what I have learned from Alejandra’s wedding when she was getting married, was to not sweat the small stuff. Relax this is the day that you will commit the rest of your life to your best friend.

I love you with all my heart.

Luis, I am glad that you have come into not only Carolina’s life but as well the family. You are an amazing man and I am so proud to say that you will be my nephew from now on. I don’t need to tell you to take care of Carolina and to treat her well because you have already done that. Thank you for making her happy and for loving her unconditionally.

I know the two of you will have a happy and amazing future.

Love always

Cata
