hi mellyy! where are you staying right now? im from the philippines.. congratulations to your sister! finally she'll walk down the aisle.. it's good to see her on her wedding day, but becuase of your financial constraints you cannot go.. i think your sister will understand you and your situation, although im sure she wishes you could go.. but whatever it may be, best wishes to her.. just give your support to your sister! happy posting..

Sorry mellyy, I didn't noticed you mentioned you're in Australia,,,ANyway, maybe a call or a gift will just surprise her and I know she knows how much you wanted to go!

Aw that would be sad to miss her wedding! Are there things you could do to raise money for the trip? Maybe get a second job or try selling things you don't really need? You could wash people's cars or maybe a few other things to raise the money? I don't think I would miss that because I would regret it. Maybe you could get a credit card with a low interest rate for the trip or take a small loan if you can't earn enough $$ in time?

It's sad to see that you can't go but money might be a problem for your family (=P) but what are we trying to do? Earn money! Lol. XD I just felt like I'd say that. =P

Hi there mellyy, I know how hard is that for you and that is truly her big event in her life. But, I am sure also that she will understand your reason if ever you can't attend! Or maybe, you can borrow from a relatives if you are also in the Philippines but if not possible, just talk to her, congratulate her over the phone and I am sure she will be happy hearing you!

Hi mellyy It may be hard on you,not to see your sister walk down the aisle. And money is hard to get when you only a certain amount of time. The next best thing that you can do, is have someone video tape the wedding, though you may not be there but at least you can see her getting married. Ask her to send copies of the tapes and pictures. I know it's not the same but at least you get to see her. Give her a call on the day of wedding and wish the best,tell her how much you love her, send her kisses and hugs. I'm sure she understand your situation. Don't forget the videos tapes.
