Before i start I would like to say that Lori you look absolutely beautiful and Dell you don't look bad yourself.  For those of you who don't know me my name is Amber and for those of you who do you are truely blessed.  When Lori first asked me to be her maid of honor I felt delighted but as the big day approached I knew that I would have to do a speech and a toast.  Being the shy type I was trying to think of a way to get out of it, but have any of you tried to say no to Lori. When I knew I couldn't get out of this I had to think of something to say.  So i did some research and came up with some sayings that I would like to share with you.  Some would say when a man holds a womens hand before marriage, its love.  After marrige, it self defense.  Others say that before marriage a man will lie awake thinking about something you said.  After marriage he will fall asleep before you have finished saying it.  I have heard that marriage is the only war where you actually sleep with the enemy.  Now dell i have some advice for you. 1- Lori can you put your hand on the table.  Dell can you place your hand on top on hers.  Now that you are married this will be the last time that you will have the upper hand. 2- whenever you are wrong, admit it.  Whenever you are right, just be quiet.  It will be better for you in the long run.  3- the best way to remember an anniversary is to forget it just once. 4- Road maps or gps are always good things. 5- Never forget the two most important sayings…”You're right, dear” and “okay buy it.” Last but not least, never be afraid that Lori will leave you, she has spent years training you she will not give that up lightly.  So before I get the mic taken away from me, I would like to propose a toast to the bride and groom…

A wedding day will be remembered
For all the joy it brings
A day of love and happiness
Of vows and wedding rings
A day of new beginnings
Learning what love truely means
Your wedding day is just the start
To many Hopes and dreams

Congratulations to Lori and Dell
