50 Reasons why I love my Mamy (in no particular order):

2. My siblings and I got our love for clothes and fashion from her.
3. She's the most selfless person I know.
4. She's our best friend. We can tell anything and everything to her.
5. She and my dad painstakingly did a lot for us on our wedding. She did my accessories, souvenirs, some of the reception decor, etc. Our wedding won't be the success that it was without her.
This beautiful cuff was made by my mom.
6. She's the strongest person that I know.
7. She was the only person who made me cry on my wedding. Her speech was so touching.
