Writing exercise

This year my younger sister Katrin is going to get married and she has chosen me as her witness, which it means not be only a person who will be a part of one most important day hers life, but also to make this day really special. I have to prepare everything (from small presents for her and hers future husband to thinking of entertainment for all guests – so it might be a fun for everybody). I would like to make for future married couple also a short video with wishes from all family members – this should remember them why did get married. I have been thinking about that for a long time and I don’t know yet, how to make it. It’s a little bit difficult when I am here in Shanghai and whole family so far away. But I guess (not…I am pretty sure) with all kinds of modern technology I can manage it everything.

But I guess, no…I am pretty sure with all kinds of modern technology I can manage everything from here.
