Speech Creator: Shannon Wilson
Speech Date: oct 2004
My role of today is that of a Maid of Honor, and my name is Shannon. Ashley and I have known each other since tenth grade, eight years, which quite frankly, seems just like yesterday on one hand…and like a million years ago on the other! Have you ever really thought about what friendship truly means to you? Well, I have especially when it comes to Ashley and I. My friendship with her has been special to me, because she was a great person to go through the trauma of our teenage years with! No matter how much we have been through, we have always been there for each other through thick and thin. We support each other and stick up for one another when the other needs us most. We have gotten a lot closer over the years. We have seen other through the good, the bad and the ugly.

I have loved watching this romance bloom. Damien is a great guy! He's funny, friendly, really easy to get along with and really talkative especially once you get him going.

Ashley has just blossomed since Damien came into her life. When Ashley met Damien it was obvious from the very beginning that he was the one. There was something different about him. She seemed to sparkle more than ever before. She's become happier and has a better outlook on life in general.

I look so forward to the future for these two. I know that Ashley and Damien will last a lifetime with each other. They just seem to have that certain something about them, and I know that theirs will truly be – a match made in heaven.

Please raise your glasses while I propose a toast:

If ever you are to enjoy life…now is the time! Today should always be your most wonderful day. Let today be the building block for all the years to come, and may your home be filled with your laughter and that of your children as well, for all the days of your life.

I love you guys! Congratulations!
