In January 2009, my son’s friends Rej and Oneal advised me of their plans for a Star Wars Wedding in Manila. Rej said she will wear a replica of Queen Amidala’s wedding dress from the movie series. And they wanted me to be one of their primary sponsors. I readily accepted, feeling honored to stand witness to their union. Then I said, “Let me make your bridal jewelry for you.” The following month, exactly one year from their wedding date, I drew the first drafts of my first bridal jewelry project.
