I am an only child who grew up with a great big sister who lived in another house with my second parents (haha!)... My parents and my second parents were neighbors before I was born... let me explain further... Latin people have a lot of "fake" family (everyone is a cousin)... My parents saw little baby Alissa living next door and felt an instant attraction to her, her parents, and to the idea of having a baby... so they had me!!! (Yay!) Our two families became family almost instantly, going on Disney trips and great big epic vacations...

we also kinda look alike, which is great for when we get asked if we are sisters... it's an easy "yes"!
(I also did her makeup for her Bridal Shower)
She originally told me she did not want me to do her makeup on her wedding day because she didn't want me to feel forced to work... even though deep inside I wanted to... but being the supportive Matron of Honor, I nodded and smiled (Whatever the bride wanted!)... but then she asked me to go to her makeup trial appointment in Savannah, GA (destination wedding)... she was nervous and not sure if she liked it... I nodded and smiled and wanted her to make her own decision... LUCKY ME! She didn't like!!! LOL! So with great honor and pride and a very slow, careful hand, I did her makeup.
(The Big Day)
She looked AMAZING, (not to toot my horn!)... She seemed really happy with it, and that's all that mattered... I really want to share a picture of her look that day, but with our regular cameras there is not a single good close-up shot of her... so I guess we'll have to wait for the photographers pics.
In the meantime here's a few shots of her and my makeup on the big day... I really need a better camera!
