Before I start I'd like to remind you all about the cameras on your tables.
Please feel free to take some pictures for us to help capture our special day…
BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS (BRAD & JEFF) I DON'T WANT ANY MOONIES ALRIGHT LADS!!!

(Thank You – Guests)
Finally after 7 and a bit years I can say this…
My wife and I..… would like to start by thanking you all for turning up to share our special day. I know that this is meant to be our day, but of course it wouldn't be as special if it wasn't for all our family and friends being here with us, So again a big thank you to you all.

We would also like to thank you all very much for your cards, and wonderful presents.
I can't wait to see how Steve's gonna wrap the New Motor we asked him for!

(Thank You – Parents)
We would like to thank both sets of parents, as we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. We would like to thank them for all the love and affection over the years, for all the advice they have given us, for putting up with us and pointing us in the right direction..… the list could go on and on

Also this wedding couldn't of taken place today without all their support and we would like them to know that we appreciate their generosity and will be forever grateful.

(Thank You – Bride)
I did have a really good speech worked out for you, but now that I'm married, my wife has told me exactly what to say instead.

So far, today has been a day beyond my wildest dreams. As a child , dreaming of my wedding day, I never imagined that I would end up marrying someone so intelligent, witty, popular, gorgeous and so altogether fan…….tastic ….…

{turn to Kate}….sorry kate I can't read your writing!!!

Seriously, I'm completely stunned at how beautiful kate looks today and I would like everybody here, especially my new bride, to know how lucky and proud I am to be standing here speaking to you as her husband.

(Thank Eve)
We would also like to thank EVE for the beautiful cake she has made and presented. As u can see, it has taking a lot of time & effort to prepare and it's a real shame we have to cut it.

Also a big thankyou to all Sue, Eve and all those who gave up there time to prepare the Flowers & Table Decorations , It's easy to see all work that's gone into them, they all look fantastic ..… Thankyou

(Thank You – Ushers)
We'd like to thank Jamie & Andrew for being our Ushers, It cant be easy telling this lot what to do and where to go, I got told there's an unwritten wedding rule that no one is allowed to look more handsome than the groom.

Thanks for sticking by it lads.

(Thank You – Bridesmaids)
We would also like to thank Sally & Becky for being our Bridesmaids, YOU ALL READY FOR THIS…Hailey, Hannah, Sophie, Chloe, Beth, Elenor, Imogine, Jordon & Gabby for being our Flowergirls and Charlie & Cameron for being our Page Boys.

You've all been terrific and I'm sure your all agree with me that they all look beautiful.

(Thank You – Best Man)
Finally, on behalf of Katie and I, I'd like to thank Lee for agreeing to be my best man. Drink up son, you're up next. I've known Lee a long time but I'm still not convinced it's a good idea to let him stand up and talk about me but I have warned him that I'm his bestman in a few months SO HE BETTER KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!

One Last Thing before I hand you over to lee ..… Isn't it funny how history repeats itself? Nearly 27 years ago Kate's mum and dad were putting her to bed with a dummy……………And now it's happening all over again!
