"Ivy" not "Abby"

I attended the wedding of my cousin last June 15th.

I was part of her wedding entourage.

During the wedding preparation, my mother was the in-charge of all the food. Sya ang head chef kumbaga. They prepared the food sa house ng bride.

One of my cousin, Lovely, was fixing the hair and make-up of my niece, Leila.

Lovely asked me to call my Mother and ask her about the flowers that will be put to Leila's hair.

On the phone,

Myself: Hello 'Nay, ok na raw ho ba yung bulaklak kasi ilalagay na ni Lovely sa buhok ni Leila yun.

Mother: Ay teka, iche-check ko kung pwede ng kunin. Nga pala anak, ikaw raw ang magkakabit nung bail kina Mae and Rommel.

Myself: Sige ho. Sino ba hong ka-partner ko?

Mother: Si Abby.

Myself: Ah talaga ho.

After I heard it, my sister came out from her room then told me,

Ate: Si Ivy ang ka-partner mo. Yung friend ni Mae.

Myself to Mother: 'Nay, "Ivy" pala hindi "Abby".

Mother: Ah oo nga. Ivy nga.

Myself: Sige ho. Tawag na lang kayo kapag pwede ng kunin dyan yung mga bulaklak.

Mother: Ok. Ba-bye.
