Good evening, Ladies & Gentlemen,
I'm Liv's old chum, Cindy. Charming is my middle name. If you don't agree with me now, I'm sure that at the end of this speech, you will.
Before I start, I'd like to say that, Liv, you look stunning. Delbert…
well, you just looked stunned!
When Liv asked me to be her bridesmaid, I felt "wow" but as the big day approached, she asked me to do a speech so I went "huh?!". Then I thought what I could talk about.
In fact, having known Liv for 13 years, I have a huge library of stories to spill, that will sure spice up your ear. Unfortunately, I'd decided not to tell them here because – 1 we've only got this place til midnight 2 I respect her too much FYI, I didn't write that!.
Instead, I did some homework and here's what I'd like to share with you…
Quoting Lana Turner, a successful man is one who can make more money than his wife could spend. A successful woman, on the other hand, is one who can find such a man. So, well done, Liv! But, don't let him have you to thank for for turning him into a millionaire when he's already a billionaire.
Delbert, I'm sure you know that a happy wife makes for a happy life. So, I bet you don't need my personal advice for a happy and successful marriage.
That means, I'm NOT gonna tell you that whenever you are wrong, admit it whenever you are right, shut up!
And, I'm NOT gonna ask you to remember these 3 magic phrases – "You're right, honey."
"Okay, buy it!"
And most importantly, this one really works for Liv personally "No, honey, you do NOT look fat in that outfit!"
I'm also NOT gonna give you this warning for the bedroom – laugh, and the world laughs with you snore, and you sleep alone!
Apart from that Delbert, you'll need to continuously upgrade your skills on mind reading. At no time and under no circumstances will the female let the male know what she really wants. For example, her purse is empty, fill it up… with CASH please.
Most importantly, remember that you can NEVER, EVER, be more tired than Liv. Foot massages and back rubs are compulsory and must be performed on demand. Right, Liv?
As Liv's closest friend, there's something I need to ask you to do – First, I need the both of you to stand up… Delbert, please place your right hand on top of Liv's left hand… Close your eyes… Take a moment to feel how good this feels… because this will be the last time you have an upper hand in this union. … You guys may sit down now.
All right, enough of the cheap shots. On a serious note, I hope the best for the both of you, now and always. May you share everything in life, including the housework! As you sit side by side through this roller coaster of life, remember to scream from the peaks, hold hands through the dips, laugh through the loop-the-loops and enjoy every twist and turn for the ride is better because you guys share it together. If love makes the world go round, you two should make it spin!
Finally, I'd like to say that I'm truly, truly honoured to be a part of this wonderful wedding.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, would you all please stand and join me in a toast to Liv & Delbert –
To our husbands and lovers… may they never meet! Just kidding… May your love be modern enough to survive the times, old fashion enough to last forever.
So here's to marriage, the happy estate that resembles a pair of
scissors: so joined that they cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet punishing any one who comes between them.
– CHEERS! –
