INTRODUCTION
Afternoon everyone, I'm sure you'll agree that this has been great wedding celebration, but every silver lining has a cloud, and that's because you now have to listen to me!!!.
THANKYOU'S
Firstly on behalf of the Bridesmaids I would like to thank Jon for his kind words.
On behalf of the bride I'd like to thank Helen's mum and Auntie Margaret for their skill and expertise with the dress making, which I'm sure you'll agree they've done a wonderful job.
I'd also like to thank Barry Hockey for taking the video of the wedding. (Still!!!)
BACKGROUND
I first met Jon through playing football, where we found him to be useless in every position!!!!!
So lets hope Helen has better luck!!!!
In the year that Jon was born "Y.M.C.A." was the top selling record, which if we are "lucky" Jon will give a demonstration of later.
Also in that year the first nudist beach was opened in Britain, which if you saw him on holiday in Kenya explained why the local "wildlife" took a shine to him!!!!
WORDS OF ADVICE
Jon, remember the key to a happy marriage is to remember those 3 little words "YOUR RIGHT DEAR!!!!!!!!!"
I'd like to wish you a happy marriage and honeymoon, which I am told is the time between "I DO" and "YOU'D BETTER!!!!"
TOASTS
Could you please stand now and join me in a toast to JON & HELEN'S PARENTS for this special day.
(SAY "THE PARENTS")
And would you please remain standing and join me in a toast to the happy couple
(SAY "MR & MRS Sxxxxxxx")
