Bride Speech number 2
Well, I guess this is slightly unusual a brides speech - but those of you who know me will also know that the chance of me being able to keep me mouth shut while everyone else does a speech was pretty slim. So Im sorry for adding another speech to the list but, if its any consolation, Ill try to keep it short.
Also, there are a few things that I want to say that no-one else will so please bear with me. If this sounds like a bad Oscar acceptance speech, I do apologize!
Id like to thank _____ for being my bridesmaid today. Shes been helpful, supportive and all the things a bride could ask for. The only problem is, she looks completely stunning in her dress so Ive had to sit her as far away from me as possible! Rachael, Ive got a little something for you.
Now, you know someone is a true friend when they re-arrange their holiday so that they can be at your wedding. Acknowledge those who did that or traveled out of city. Over the past months, shes been there with a cup of tea and a listening ear whenever Ive needed her, shes been with me to dress fittings and on numerous shopping expeditions, she helped get everything ready this morning and, she even offered to do my make-up and if that isnt a sign of pure bravery, I dont know what is.
We were actually at school together and suffered numerous French, English and Science classes together so I hope today has been more magical than monstrous. Ive also got a little gift for you.
By the way, just to warn you all, this could be the start of the emotional bit so if I start blubbering, feel free to throw me a tissue.
Mom and Dad, what can I say? You seen me grow up, youve helped me develop and mature into the person that I am today and I hope you think all your hard work has been worth while. I love you both very much and hope you feel happy today rather than sad, for this is only the start of a new chapter, rather than the end of the book. Ive got a couple of gifts for you one will help you celebrate you new found freedom and another will, if you look after it like you looked after me, also grow and thrive.
And finally, a word, or maybe more!!, about my husband (wow!!, I can say that now!) _____ came into my life and completely changed it more grey hairs and worry lines for a start! In all seriousness, I adore this man, and as many of you know how dodgy Jamess time keeping can be, the fact he turned up on time today is a pretty hopeful sign that he feels the same about me too. He is my biggest supporter, my best friend and now my husband how fantastically lucky I am to get all that in one person.
And finally , Id like to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you for being with us today. A wedding can happen anywhere and at any time but it can only be a true celebration when all the people you love are there to share it with you so you really have made our day.
So, if youd please raise you glasses for a toast To Friends & Family
