I am not sure if I should be proud of this or not, but my sisters are my best friends. I love my actual friends, but no one knows me as well as my two sisters, and I truly cherish them more than anyone else in my life. I cannot imagine what I would do if one of them decided to get married on the same day as I do, and I cannot understand what would drive someone to do that to their sibling.
