Distinguished guests, guests of no particular distinction, friends, freeloaders, gypsies, tramps, thieves and anyone else who managed to wander in. I would like to start with that this speech isn't full of the usual lovey dovey stuff, and I'm really nervous that I hope I don't cross the line and get “the wait till I get you home look” from Lucy an hour into our Marriage. But I have tried my best, so I will start with being honest knowing that I was going to be giving a toast, I thought that I would do some research in to writing a speech, and I was trawling the internet for hours and found some really good stuff, then I remembered that I was supposed to be writing a speech. So please make sure your glasses are full as I will be making several toasts. Thank you all for coming on this day. I know some of you will have come from all over the country. But a fast introduction we have The Fowlers, Bucks, Richards & Dudsworths and others. Firstly I would like say it's not possible for everyone we love to be here today like Lucy's father Dave, but we know they are here with us in spirit – so with them in mind please toast absent friends & family. (ABSENT FRIENDS AND FAMILY) We would like to thank Jack (my diabetic brother from another mother) for being my best man.  We didn't have a stag do, but you owe me one big night out. I know as a journalist that you writing your speech was easier for you than it was for me, I suppose the hardest part for you was to have a shave for today. Just a quick note for everyone, please don't mention to jack anything about Santa, Easter bunny and especially that wrestling isn't performed by actors. I, I mean we would like to thank Mac, another one of my best friends for doing the photography pro bono. The crows feet are just starting come through so make sure you do your best with photoshop (that's a message from Lucy – sorry giggle lines was it?) Amanda for being there for Lucy, and giving her the right advice and support at the right time. So raise your glass again for the Best Men and bridesmaid! (BEST MEN AND BRIDESMAID) I personally would like to thank Gordon & Carol for passing my number onto Lucy as her PC repair Man back in 2009. I remember doing a PC job for Gordon in 2009 and seeing Lucy's picture on the wall in their house, and even though she is ginger, I knew we were going to be apart of each others future Thank Gordon for giving me Lucy's hand, and from what Lucy has told me I sure Dave would be honoured for you to give her away on his behalf. I would also like to thank my mother Elayne. We might not have had the easiest of lives or upbringings but you raised a good Man, an Honourable Man, A hardworking Man who would work himself to death if needs be for his kids. I am proud of the man in the mirror, and I thank you! Please raise your glass for my mother Elayne, and the mother and father of the bride to Carol & Gordon (ELAYNE, CAROL AND GORDON) Its so lovely to see so many of our family and friends here today to help us celebrate the happiest day of our lives, I know that some have you have travelled a long way to be here today and that means a lot to us. It really wouldn't be the same without you. It would have been a damn sight cheaper, but that's not the point. Thank you for your generous gifts and kind words, Id especially like to thank those who gave us cheques. No were really grateful for those and letting us use the detail to help us pay our direct debits for years to come. Who said identity fraud is a bad idea. So Giggle lines, Ginger Hair, Fiery Personality (for those of you who know Lucy)… Your perfect in every single way, you're smart, ambitious, & kind, and you make me feel I can conquer the world. We spent the last few days apart to build excitement for this day, and I felt apart of me was missing. If that was the feeling I had being away from you for a couple of days, that just shows me that I know you chose dress based on my taste, and I must say, you look so beautiful, I never in my dreams thought you would look like this. So if anyone wants any tips, come and see me. Not in a “im in the car park selling DVDs out the back of my car kind of way” In an I know a good dress kinda way – but now I'm ruined, because you have to look like this everyday for the rest of my life because I never want to forget this image. But seriously, I can't wait for tomorrow because its one day closer to us spending the rest of our lives together. So can everyone please raise their glass (it's like a mini work out this) for the THE most beautiful woman in my life. My (and im proud to say this) Wife, Mrs Lucy Fowler (MRS ….… LUCY …….… FOWLER) So having the Fowler name comes with lots of responsibilities, firstly you have got to tell everyone its the best name in the world, everything else is insignificant and you will pick up along the way They say marriage changes things, Well im telling you now things are going to be change, I am going to be doing as im told, and do all the washing up… actually, I guess married life won't change us. Well that's enough of my jokes this afternoon, that's Jacks job, so without a further or do, Jack “I believe wrestling is real” Woodfield.
