MAID OF HONOUR
The Maid of Honour or “Honor”, depending on which country you’re reading this from, is Dewi’s ultimate accomplice and oldest friend, Becca Romero. Back in Jakarta when they were just little girls, they used to ride home together after school. On weekends, they’d have sleepovers. When Dewi moved to Manila in 1998, Becca’s family moved back as well. And yes, they both ended up in the same school again, classmates, both new students, both trying to settle in and adjust once more. They grew up together, went through different phases in their lives, shared secrets and shared so many memorable experiences. She’s become the other sister of Dewi’s brothers and the other daughter of Dewi’s parents. She’s family. They may be living in different countries now, but every once in a while, they go back to having sleepovers, be it in Manila, Sydney or even Jakarta, and they know, no matter the distance, this bestfriendship is one that will last forever.
BEST MAN
The Best Man is Erwin’s Grade 1 classmate and oldest friend, Felix Carao. It’s amazing how they have managed to maintain their friendship up to this day having both migrated from the Philippines to Australia. Although he’s based in Adelaide, whenever the two get together, it’s clear that nothing has changed. Being the only two boys from their group who’re now based in Australia, they have accepted that they might have to share a lot of things when they travel back home together – a room, a king bed, a towel, the same cup of ice cream and so on. They still rock hard, crack jokes that are most likely only funny to them, still act a little silly and then roll over laughing at themselves. Wherever they end up, in the end, they are still the same boys who hail from their beloved alma mater, CSA (rah rah rah!).
