ladies and gentlemen , for those who don't know me , i have the privilege to be a… ”s father
firstly i would like to thank everyone for coming here today to help a … and t… celebrate their marriage
i admit to being quite nervous about speaking today , i was looking for some inspiration in trying to piece together what i would say and i even tried looking on the Internet, as people do these days .i even found one place where you filled out a form with details of the bride and groom and a so called professional speechwriter would would write something for . at 49.95 us dollars it was either a bargain or a scam , i'm not sure which.
but i decided i didn't need the internet to tell us what we already knew that a… and t.… are a great young couple , intelligent and hard working , and how well suited to each other they are
i vividly remember the night a… was born at k… g… hospital , now here she is looking so beautiful in that wedding dress about to begin one of lifes biggest journeys. it just doesn't seem that long ago . you sort of wonder where the time goes.
a..and t… have been together for some time now and today they are taking their relationship to a new level , and by celebrating their wedding today they are showing how much they love each other and how much they wish to share with each other all that married life can bring . together they can set themselves goals and they will have each other to share all of of lifes experiences
i h&#243pe that one of the long lasting memories of this happy day for a… and t… is the huge group of family and friends that have gathered here today to show how much we care about them and to show them they have people they can rely on in years to come
marriage is like life itself , full of great joys and great tragedies , and it is family and friends , as well as the sharing with each other that makes the joys greater , and the tragedies less of a burden
i'm sure i speak for everyone here when i say we wish a.. and t… health and happiness in the future and we all hope they enjoy a long and fulfilling life together
i now ask you all to share with me a toast to the bride and groom
here's to the past for what you have learned
here's to the present for what you share together
here's to the future for what you forward to together
here's to love ,laughter, and happiness
to a… and t…
the bride and groom
