Well, if I remember correctly, one day, I think it was five or six months ago when my best friend asked me what she could borrow for her daughter's wedding. She asked for my viewpoint on how she could look at this wedding because she had never worn dresses or done makeup. I lent her my dresses, and after that, at the wedding, everyone admired her because she looked beautiful. My opinion was well-received, and she was so happy afterward.
