The word that I have heard most over the last few days has been CONGRATULATIONS.
The word that I have said most is THANK YOU !

Thank you for COMING
Thank you for your HELP
And Dan, Thank you for being the WONDERFUL PERSON that you are.

First of all I would like to Thank DAD.
What can I sayŠ you have BEEN AMAZINGŠ. No you ARE AMAZING.

Planning a wedding is like having a PART TIME JOB, and DAD, or should I say BOSS, has given me the SUPPORT THAT I HAVE NEEDED and the space and time to plan this weekend along side the NOT UNSUBSTANTIAL task OF RUNNING THE TUGS.

DAD your GENEROSITY has had NO BOUNDARIES.
You have made me feel that the SKY IS THE LIMIT.

MUM
Thank you for being the GENTLE LOVING SOUL that you are and for all the SUPPORT that you have given me in the RUN UP TO THE WEDDING
Š. and for the last 30 years.

And of course for this BEAUTIFUL DRESS.

I have special reason to thank GORDON AND JANE ­ their LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR DAN over the years has allowed their very best qualities to be rubbed off on him Šand this made him the WONDERFUL MAN THAT HE IS.

In addition GORDON THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY, the ROAST BOAR AND RACLETTE last night was delicious and I am looking forward to Farinet party to come.
And to dance to NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN YOUR HONOUR.

JANE, after 30 years surrounded by SO MANY BOYS I am delighted to be one of the 2 DAUGHTER IN LAWS that you will be acquiring this year.

And also a special thanks for your help as the DECORATIONS AND FLOWERS would not be looking this good with out your touch.

And thank you to all of you who OFFERED AND GIVEN HELP during the preparation !
It has been very much appreciated.

JEMIMA
Thank you for the LAUGHTER,
the GOOD TIMES
and the FRIENDSHIP over the years.

ANDREW
I could write a whole speech just about youŠ you are truly an inspiration to us all. Š. You are my rock.

EDINGTON BROTHERS, ROW, and the AIDIE ENTOURAGE for accepting me with such OPEN ARMS as part of the family.

I would like to thank all THE GUEST FOR TAKING THE TIME AND EFFORT to come to Verbier, Dan and I can¹t put into words how incredible it is to spend this day with so many friends and family that are important to us.

It is no small achievement that we have managed to get 120 people from UK,
2 from Spain,
1 from France,
2 from Holland,
7 from Italy,
3 from Athens,
2 from India (thank you Lata and Prianka) Antonio & Isabela and Cesar & Lilana have made it all the way from Rio Nina from the States and the I think the furthest journey is Sarah from Singapore.,

I would like to single out my GRANDMA, who initially was apprehensive to come all the way to Switzerland, Š but here she is.
JOAN, YOUR PRESENCE HERE MEANS A LOT TO ME.

As I am talking about you the guests, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their VERY GENEROUS GIFTS.
We are so looking forward to filling our house with shiny new stuff.

I would like to thank CLAUDE ALAN for the delicious meal and of course MARIE CLAIRE for looking after us so well at crocks last night ­ although I not sure if everyone will thank you her the LAST ROUND OF ROYALS.

I love you very much. I know we will have a wonderful future together. Can I ask you please to raise a glass to my Husband ­ Dan.
