BURGULARS
WELL I HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS AND I CHERISH THEM VERY MUCH- VICKI THE YOUNGEST IS THE FIRST TO GET WED SO I COULD SAY ONE DOWN ONE TO GO- BUT THEY NEVER REALLY GO DO THEY – THEY ALWAYS RETURN AND AFTER THE VISIT THE HOUSE RESENBLES A CRIME SCENE AFTER A BURGLERY- YOU KNOW THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN RANSACKED , THE CUBOARDS ARE BARE AND YOUR LEFT IN A STATE OF SHOCK. BUT UNLIKE THE BURGULAR WE ALWAYS WELCOME THEIR RETURN.
JAN HAD A QUICK LOOK AT THIS SPEECH A FEW WEEKS AGO AND SAID “THAT'S NOT TRUE THEN VICKI CAME UP ONE DAY AND WHEN SHE HAD GONE I CAUGHT JAN SMILING – THEN SHE SAID – YOUR RIGHT THE PLACE LOOKS LIKE A BOMB HAS HIT IT

WORDS ON BRIDE
NAME OF BRIDE I MUST SAY YOU LOOK JUST LIKE A PRINCESS AND I DID GET A LUMP IN MY THROAT WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU THIS MORNING.
AND THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW VICKI WILL KNOW SHE IS A LOVELY DAUGHTER WHO HAS A HEART OF GOLD- SHE IS THOUGHTFUL AND VERY CONSIDERATE AND WILL MAKE NAME OF GROOM A WONDERFUL WIFE. I KNOW THAT BECAUSE SHE THINKS THE WORLD OF HER NAME OF GROOM AND HAS DONE EVER SINCE SHE BROUGHT HIM HOME SOME 6 OR SO YEARS AGO. TO BEHONEST ITOUGH WE WOULD LOSE HIM DOWN THE DRAINS HE WAS SO SKINNY.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE HE'S NO LONGER A SKINNY BOY HE HAS TURNED INTO A MAN WHO I AM PROUD TO CALL MY SON –IN – LAW. AND NAME OF GROOM I THINK YOU MADE A PRETTY GOOD CHOICE IN PICKING MY NAME OF BRIDE AS I KNOW SHE WILL SUPPORT YOU IN EVERYTHING YOU DO- AS YOU ALREADY KNOW.
WORDS ON BRIDE CONTINUED
AND YES IM BEING THE PROUD FATHER WHEN I SAY SHE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL AND A SMILE THAT LIGHTS THE ROOM UP WHEN SHE WALKS IN –

SHE IS A DELIGHTFUL YOUNG LADY WHO IM PROUDTO CALL MY DAUGHTER. I THINK ITS TRUE TO SAY SHE DIDN'T GET THOSE QUALITIES FROM ME SO SHE MUST HAVE GOT THEM FROM NAME OF MOTHER OF THE BRIDE – ALL BUT THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL BECAUSE NAME OF MOTHER OF THE BRIDE CAN CURDLE MILK WITH ONE CHORUS OF MOLLY MALLONE.

THIS MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU NAME OF GROOM
I WAS IN THE POST OFFICE THE OTHER DAY AND I HEARD A LADY CHATTING AND THE CONVERSATION WENT LIKE THIS: – IT WAS I WHO MADE MY HUBBY A MILLIONAIRE – HER FRIEND SAID I THOUGHT HE WAS A MILLIONAIRE BEFORE YOU MET HIM AND THE LADY SAID “ OH NO HE WAS A MULTI MILLIONAIRE WHEN I MET HIM

COOKERY
ONE THING NAME OF BRIDE IS GOING TO GET NO PRIZES FOR IS COOKERY INFACT I THINK ITS FAIR TO SAY SHE CAN BURN WATER – SHE ACTUALLY COOKED A PIZZA THE OTHER MONTH THAT SMELT HORRID – THEN SHE REALIZED SHE LEFT THE PLASTC WRAPPING ON
I MENTIONED NAME OF BRIDE COOKING TO NAME OF GROOM AT A BBQ RECENTLY HE SAID SHE IS GETTING BETTER LATELY AND SHE CAN EVEN DO A CURRY NOW – THEN THERE WAS A PREGNANT PAUSE THEN HE SAID – WELL THAT IS IF SHE CAN FIND THE TIN OPENER.

BUT DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR NAME OF GROOM BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY – NOT WHILE THERES A MAC DONALDS IN TOWN NAME A CHIPPY IN TOWN NAME AND A GRAN IN TOWN NAME
NAME OF GROOM YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE LOOKED ON YOU AS FAMILY FOR SUCH A LONG TIME BUT TO DAY MAKES IT OFFICIAL – WELCOME TO MY FAMILY.

AND NOW IS THE TIME WHERE I GIVE YOU WORDS OF WISDOM ON THE SECRET OF A HAPPY MARRIEGE BUT HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW IVE BEEN MARRIED TO NAME OF MOTHER OF THE BRIDE FOR 28 YEARS.

SERIOUSLY – FROM WHERE IM SITTING YOUR BOTH DOING JUST GREAT AS YOU ARE –DONT CHANGE YOU DON'T NEED ANY SECRETS GIVEN YOU BY ANYONE INFACT IF YOU COULD BOTTLE WHAT YOU 2 HAVE YOUD MAKE A FORTUNE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BOYS AND GIRLS PLEASE BE UP STANDING I GIVE YOU A TOAST –

MAY YOUR LIVES BE LONG AND HEALTHY, MAY YOUR TROUBLES ALL BE FEW- MAY YOUR BABIES BE BRIGHT AND BONNIE-MAY YOUR WILDEST DREAMS COME TRUE –
PLEASE RAISE YOUR GLASSES – NAME OF BRIDE AND GROOM
