LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
I UNDERSTAND IT IS MY JOB TO SPEAK TO YOU AND YOUR JOB TO LISTEN
I JUST HOPE WE BOTH FINISH AT THE SAME TIME.
IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO WELCOME TERRY AND GILL AND OTHER DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, THOSE OF LESSER DISTINCTION AND THOSE OF NO DISTINCTION, FAMILY, RELATIVES, NEW AND OLD, IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS, FRIENDS AND FRIENDS OF FRIENDS TO WENDY AND ADRIAN'S WEDDING CELEBRATIONS.
I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME MY NEW SON-IN-LAW, ADRIAN INTO OUR FAMILY AND TO THANK GILL AND TERRY FOR RAISING SUCH A FINE YOUNG MAN.
THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD TO RAISE IS CHILDREN – ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS.
BERYL AND I ARE VERY PROUD TODAY TO SEE WENDY LOOKING SO BEAUTIFUL AND WE FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AS OUR DAUGHTER.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BEST MAN. I THINK MARK DID A GREAT JOB KEEPING ADRIAN FROM ESCAPING BEFORE THE CEREMONY.
UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE WORLD, WENDY AND ADRIAN HAD TO POSTPONE THEIR HONEYMOON IN BORNEO. INSTEAD THEY ARE JETTING OFF TO BARBADOS. THEY WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET ONE OF THOSE BARGAIN LATE DEALS TAILOR MADE FOR HONEYMOONERS – 4 DAYS AND 10 NIGHTS.
I OFFERED TO TAKE MY WIFE ON A TRIP ROUND THE WORLD, BUT SHE WANTED TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT MARRIAGE IS A 50/50 PARTNERSHIP. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY SAID BY
SOMEONE WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT WOMEN AND EVEN LESS ABOUT MATHEMATICS.
WENDY – A WIFE IS A WOMEN WHO STANDS BY HER HUSBAND THROUGH ALL THE TROUBLE
HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD IF HE'D STAYED SINGLE.
A PERFECT WIFE IS THE ONE WHO HELPS HER HUSBAND WITH THE DISHES.
FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE ADRIAN – WOMEN ARE MEANT TO BE LOVED – NOT UNDERSTOOD.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY'RE CALLED THE OPPOSITE SEX, JUST EXPRESS AN OPINION.
WOMEN WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT THAN REASONABLE.
FINALLY ADRIAN THE BIGGEST SURPRISE YOU CAN GIVE YOUR WIFE ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY IS TO REMEMBER IT.
NOW WOULD YOU ALL JOIN ME IN WISHING MR & MRS SIMS A LONG AND HAPPY MARRIED LIFE TOGETHER.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR GLASSES TO ADRIAN AND WENDY.
