“Hello everyone, thank you all for coming, and for your good wishes.
“Not only have our close family and friends chosen to celebrate with Brian and I today, but family from around the world, have made a special effort to be here. Your presence is the best present Brian and I could ask for.
“There are a myriad of people whom I want to thank today. I want to say thanks to my extended family, to all my aunts and uncles, for being there for me my whole life, as well as my grandmother, Rita. A special thank you to my mother, Mary; although our time was short, she shaped my life forever.
“To Brian’s parents, Eric and Jenny, and Brian’s sister, Lisa; I know you had your hands full raising Brian, but you have influenced and molded him into the man he is today, the man that I so dearly love. Thank you for welcoming me into your family, and trusting me with Brian’s heart.
“What can I say about my bridesmaids, my cousins, Sally, Carol, and Francine? Well, I’ve changed your diapers, so you owe me! (pause) I have heard everyone say how lovely you look today, and I have to agree.
“And my Maid of Honour, Diane; thank you for being such a great source of support. You have been my sounding board and a voice of reason, not only during the wedding planning, but throughout our friendship as well. Thank you for standing beside me today as Brian and I exchanged our vows.
“Saving the best for last, my new husband Brian. (pause, turn to husband)
“Brian, I would like to propose a toast to you. My dream was to find a man who would understand me without me uttering a single word. A man whose values and spirit matched my own. If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine. Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you. Brian, thank you for being you!
(turn to guests)
“And thank you everyone. I hoped it would be a perfect day, and it is. Cheers!”
