How to Write a Wedding Speech

Wedding speech example, wedding speech tips.

Writing your wedding speech is no easy feat. To help ensure things go as smoothly as possible, we tapped into Renée Dalo, owner of Moxie Bright Events in Los Angeles, California. Below, she shares a step-by-step guide.

Brainstorm a great opening.

To captivate other guests' attention, Daloe recommends taking some time to brainstorm a great opening. For example, she says, "Try to resist saying, 'For those of you who don't know me, I'm Erica's sister, Michelle.'" Instead, skip this entirely in favor of something more fun and creative.

Start with a story.

…but be sure to make it a short one, says Dalo. "Make sure it's relevant to your friendship and/or the couple." When selecting what story to share, the wedding pro recommends sterling clear of any that involve ex-partners—and for that matter, anything negative about the newly married couple. "Even if you think it's funny , she says, "it's not." Instead, think of a special moment or fun memory you shared with the couple. What did it involve? What was so great about it? All of these things are worth considering as you jot down your wedding speech.

Share your well wishes.

After all, what would a wedding speech be if it didn't include some well wishes for the newlyweds? "Make sure to include both people in the couple in your remarks," advises Dalo.

End with a toast.

Cap off your speech on a fun and sentimental note by ending with an actual toast . Dalo recommends this foolproof example: "Please join me in raising a glass to the happy couple. Cheers to X and Y, and best wishes for a lifetime of laughter!" Afterward, go in for a hug with the couple, making for the perfect photo op !

Rehearse away.

After you write your speech down, spend a significant amount of time rehearsing it so that you feel confident and comfortable while giving the actual speech. "Don't try to wing it," says Dalo. "You're going to want to rehearse this [so that] you can be as calm and present as possible."

Still trying to figure out where to start? Don't fret: If you could use some additional assistance writing your wedding speech, consider Provenance , which helps users create personalized, meaningful wedding speeches using AI-powered tools along with real responses to personal questions.

Take the Provenance Toast Builder , for example. Couples can invite those who will be giving wedding speeches—including the father of the bride , mother of the bride , father of the groom , mother of the groom , maid of honor and best man —to use the Toast Builder. Upon being invited to use the platform, these individuals will "get alerted to how long their speech can be," as well as any other important information to mention—or steer clear of. "From there," says Provenance CEO Steven Greitzer, "you can see the status of the speech and the estimated length."

To help get those creative juices flowing, check out the below wedding speech example.

Hi! As Lisa's younger sister—and now maid of honor—I've had the unique privilege of growing up alongside her. Since we're just two years apart, we've been each other's built-in best friends from the start. Like most sisters, we bickered constantly throughout our childhood, hurling insults over clothing, makeup and missing pieces of jewelry: I'll finally admit it, Lisa, I was the one who lost your charm bracelet at summer camp! All kidding aside, I hope I've made it up to you with this epic speech.

When Lisa first met Jay on the train coming home from work (romantic, I know!), we lived together in a tiny one-bedroom apartment in the city, an experience that only brought us closer together. After their first date to their now-favorite pizza place, she came home all giddy—bubbly, smiling, and laughing. She told me that the two of them already planned their next date. I had never seen her so happy. The look in her eyes since that night has not faded, and if I know Jay—which I do!—he will make sure it never will.

Like Lisa, Jay is kind, patient, and compassionate, and this was evident from the first time we met, which was right before his and Lisa's second date. I ran to the door to catch a glimpse of the guy who was slowly but surely stealing my sister's heart. Upon meeting, Jay and I instantly hit it off. He greeted me by name, hugged me, and took the time to sit down and truly get to know me. Less than 10 minutes later, we were already cracking jokes. It was clear to me then that Jay was, without a doubt, my sister's perfect match.

Lisa and Jay, you've set the bar (very) high for all of your friends and family when it comes to relationship goals. The love and commitment you share with each other is inspiring and everlasting. I know Jay will spend the rest of his life making Lisa happy and supporting her through every endeavor—and I know she'll do the same, too.

So, Lisa and Jay, I wish you nothing but a lifetime of love and happiness together. And I'm so excited to have a front-row seat to all that's in store. Everyone, please join me in raising a glass to the newlyweds!

Keep it short and sweet.

According to Dalo, your wedding speech should be "no more than three minutes." She continues, telling The Knot, "Three minutes is a long time, and when you figure in getting up to the mic and then hugging afterward, it's about five minutes total which is ideal." If you go any longer, you run the risk of losing guests' attention and potentially boring them (a no-no in our book!).

Acknowledge both partners.

"A big speech taboo that we see way too often is when the person giving the speech only talks about the partner they're closest with, unintentionally making the other partner feel left out and unimportant," says Greitzer. If you need a helping hand, Greitzer recommends using the Provenance Toast Builder , which offers "thoughtful prompts to encourage you to share why they're both 1) good people and 2) a great match for each other."

Brides speech: what to say, how to say it and examples

You’re getting married! So, surely you’ve got something to say about that? Traditionally, you’d expect to hear speeches from the groom, father of the bride and the best man. But we’re totally here for the tradition breakers. It’s becoming increasingly popular for brides to make a speech at their wedding. And we’re here to answer the big questions:

• So, as a bride, should you make a speech to your bride or groom? Spoiler - HELL YEAH (but only if you actually want to of course).
• Should it include references to friends and family or just your spouse?

How long should a bride’s speech be?

• What should it say?
• Should it be long or short, light and funny or heartfelt and emotional?
• When during the wedding day should it come?

If you want to know the above and much more, well, you’ve come to the right place!

When should brides start planning their speech?

There’s no harm in starting early, just to give you plenty of time to write, edit and practise your speech. As we’ll touch upon later, practice really does make perfect so it’s important not to rush this part! Generally we would suggest you start no later than a month before the big day.

The pros suggest practising your speech before bed, apparently your brain is in the best state to absorb information at this point in the day. Nifty!

What should a bride include in her speech?

The great thing about making a bridal speech is that there are no expectations and no template, however there’s a few things you might like to include. Generally, it’s stories, humour and meaningful tributes. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to thank your bridal party and family but also drop a few love bombs. While you’re at it, throw a few compliments at your spouse, as well. They’re probably not too bad, after all.

If you’re both making a separate speech or even a joint bride and groom speech, discuss who will cover what with your spouse to be and check who will thank who so that you don’t end up covering the same ground. You may even like to chat with the best man and father of the bride too. Don’t forget to stake your claim on the best stories! And above all else, avoid the cliches. Even in your darkest writing block moments, avoid the temptation of recycling jokes from the internet. The genuine and original anecdotes are the ones that’ll have your guests roaring with laughter. If you’re not comfortable landing jokes, keep things sincere and heartfelt.

If you’re struggling to get started, a good formula to follow is:

• Welcome and thank your lovely guests
• Thank your bridal party and family
• Chuck in a hilarious anecdote or story, don’t forget to relate it to your wedding day
• Finish off with a toast

Start planning early and brainstorm ideas without pressure - think of the highpoints in your relationship, ask yourself why you think your relationship works so well, and find humour where it doesn’t!

Should you include a theme to your bridal speech?

For sure - some of the most entertaining wedding speeches are based on a theme. If you’re both in the medical profession, base it around a humorous diagnosis, if one of you is a musician, include song lyrics. If you’ve travelled together, link your stories back to places you have visited. Consider using props or even an instrument (please… no recorders, unless it’s ironic of course). If you decide to use props, practise your timing so that you nail the delivery.

When does the bride make her speech?

The great thing about a bridal speech is that there are no traditions or expectations. So, you can choose when you give your speech. You might like to get in early, before the other wedding toasts so that you can be first to thank your wedding party and your new spouse (aww). And, let’s face it, guests may be a little bored of speeches by the last one!

If you’re feeling nervous, remember that you’re about to speak to the easiest audience of your life- they’re all there for YOU and are rooting you on. So, take a deep breath and enjoy it.

Keep it punchy, after you’ve written your wedding speech, look to edit and cut back any unnecessary bits (nobody likes a waffler). An ideal length is 900 words, this is the equivalent of 6 minutes speaking time. Any jokes that you’re slightly on the fence about? Have a trustworthy friend sense check and if in doubt, leave it out. Don’t forget, practice makes perfect - run through your speech plenty of times before the big day so you’re totally familiar with it.

When it comes to delivering your speech, fake it ‘till you make it with a smile and don’t take yourself too seriously. It’s no secret that speeches delivered with a smile come across with more warmth and sincerity than a deadpan delivery!

So, I know that a bride’s speech isn’t exactly traditional… but if you know me at all, you’ll know that today of all days, I wasn’t about to let the guys have all the limelight!

First, on behalf of MY HUSBAND and myself (pause for applause) I want to say a massive thank you to all of you for being here today. We were fully ready for today to be amazing, but I don’t think anything can really prepare you for how surreal & overwhelming it is to have all your friends and family, from all the different parts of your life, together in one room. The sheer volume of love here today has blown us away & we are SO grateful.

I know that my wonderful husband (LOVE saying that!) is doing all the proper thank yous in his speech, so I’ll leave those to him. But I do just want to thank my amazing team of bridesmaids… you ladies have made this whole process so much fun – getting me hyped when I needed to be hyped & keeping me calm when I needed to be calm. The impromptu dance party this morning was EXACTLY what I needed to burn off the pre-ceremony nerves!

So, since there are no real rules for a Bride’s speech, I thought it might be nice to tell you the story of how we met. There’s an old saying that a man decides to marry when he feels it’s the right time, while a woman chooses to marry when she feels it’s the right man. Well, I’d argue that the same could be said for online dating.

I had been stuck in an endless cycle of swiping, matching, texting, meeting & (I’m ashamed to say…) ghosting a parade of Mr Wrongs… for YEARS. This guy on the other hand… decides one day to join a dating app, matches with me on his first afternoon of swiping, sets up a date for the next day, meets me. Falls head over heels & the rest is history! … I mean, what can I say… He’s a lucky guy!

Seriously though, I’m the lucky one. This man is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best person I’ve ever met. I mean, sorry guys – you’re all fantastic & I love you…. But I love him the most.

My love, I love your big laugh & your even bigger heart. I love the life we’ve built together – our beautiful home & our gorgeous fur babies. I love the way you can always make me laugh, even when I’m upset & crying… especially when I’m upset & crying! And most of all, I love that even from that very first date, being with you felt like home.

So, everyone, can I ask you please to raise a glass… to love, home & happily ever after!

Ok, so I know it’s not strictly traditional for the bride to give a speech, but I couldn’t let the guys have all the fun now, could I?!

I think between them, they’ve already taken care of all the formal thank yous and shout outs… excellent work guys – smashed it! So, I won’t bore you with more of those.

But, if you’re all sitting comfortably, I thought I’d tell you a little story.

Once upon a time, not too far from here, there was a little girl. She didn’t dream about handsome princes & big white weddings. She was too busy playing with her dinosaurs and splashing in muddy puddles to think about boys, thank you very much!

Around the same time, in a kingdom far away, across the water, there was a little boy. Playing with his dinosaurs & splashing in muddy puddles.

Over the years, these two little people grew up into slightly bigger people, but they kept their love of dinosaurs & muddy puddles. So, when the time came to choose a uni course… Earth Sciences (with a healthy dose of palaeontology) was the only option.

And so it was that come September, the girl from London & the boy from Amsterdam rocked up at Bristol University, young, fresh-faced & single… but not for long.

Their eyes met across the lecture theatre, there was a moment, a little spark. A friend request was sent (hey, it was 2008!) and the rest, as they say… is history.

I will be forever grateful that those two crazy, outdoorsy, dinosaur-loving kids, grew up & followed their dreams. Because if they hadn’t, they would never have met. Never have fallen in love. And they wouldn’t now be spending their days together, splashing in muddy puddles with their dinosaur-replacement dogs – and by the way, can I get a cheer for the world’s greatest ring bearers, Dino & T-rex!

My love, you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I love you. And I can’t wait to keep on loving you, every day for the rest of my life.

So, lovely people, will you please join me in raising a glass, to following your dreams & falling in love!

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Wise words indeed, written by a very wise woman.

But what, I wonder, about a single WOMAN, in possession of an equally respectable fortune?... It’s an entirely different kettle of fish if you ask me.

In fact, as many of you will know, If you’d have asked this particular woman about her views on marriage, not even 2 years ago… well… she’d have chewed your ear off.

“I’ll never get married. Are you joking? I love my life! I can go where I like, I’m free to travel, financially independent. I don’t need no man. I’m happy by myself!”

And I was. I really, truly was.

BUT. You never know what the universe has in store for you. And for me, it had the most amazing surprise.

Enter stage left… this guy… the actual man of my dreams.

Tall, dark & handsome, kind, funny, adventurous, spontaneous.

It takes a special kind of crazy person to agree to a tandem skydive as a 2nd date… but that just about sums it up really, doesn’t it? I’ve found my person. My adventure buddy, my partner in crime, a match for my particular kind of crazy. And I’m not gonna lie, it feels f***ing amazing.

I get to wake up next to this phenomenal human every day, for the rest of my life. And wherever in the world we are, I know I’ll be home, as long as you’re there with me.

That’s what I believe marriage is all about – and honestly, I can’t f***ing wait.

So please, join me in a toast – to getting married!

The Importance of a Wedding speech

A wedding speech is a cherished tradition that allows loved ones to express their joy, share meaningful memories, and offer heartfelt wishes to the newlyweds, creating a lasting emotional impact on the couple and guests alike. Beyond its sentimental value, a well-crafted wedding speech has the power to set the tone for the celebration, bringing laughter, tears, and a sense of unity to the gathering, while also providing a beautiful keepsake for the couple to treasure for years to come.

Purpose and Audience

Giving a wedding speech can be scarier than walking down the aisle in six-inch heels. But here’s the secret sauce: know your purpose and your audience. Are you the best man trying to roast the groom without making his new in-laws faint? Or the maid of honor aiming to make everyone cry (in a good way, of course)? Your role sets the tone. And as for the audience, read the room! If Aunt Edna’s pearl-clutching at your mildest joke, maybe dial back the stand-up routine.

Structure and Content

Structure is your friend. Think of your speech like a sandwich: a tasty intro to grab attention, a meaty middle filled with juicy stories and heartfelt moments, and a satisfying conclusion that’ll leave everyone feeling warm and fuzzy. And please, don’t just Google “ funny wedding jokes ” and call it a day. Your speech should be as unique as the couple’s first dance song.

Length and Delivery

Nobody has ever complained that a wedding speech was too short. Aim for the sweet spot of 3-5 minutes. Any longer and you risk losing your audience to the siren call of the open bar. As for delivery, channel your inner Meryl Streep (or The Rock, if that’s more your style). Practice in front of a mirror, your cat, or that judgmental houseplant. And make eye contact! Nothing says “I care” like staring at your shoes for five minutes straight.

Cultural Sensitivity

If you’re at a multicultural wedding, think of yourself as a cultural diplomat in a fancy outfit. Be aware of traditions! What’s hilarious in one culture might be more offensive than pineapple on pizza in another. If you’re not sure, ask! The couple, their families, or even that know-it-all cousin who studied abroad for a semester. Better safe than sorry.

Personalization

Your speech should be as unique as the couple’s love story. Ditch the generic templates and dig deep into your memory bank.

26 Wedding Speech Examples

Maid of honor wedding speech example – sentimental.

Emma, my incredible best friend and beautiful bride. When we first met in high school, bonding over our shared love of terrible rom-coms and even worse dance moves, I never imagined I’d be standing here today, watching you marry the love of your life. But here we are, and I couldn’t be happier.

Over the years, you’ve been my rock, my confidante, and my partner in crime. You’ve seen me through my best and worst moments, always with a kind word and a warm hug. And when you met Jake, I saw a light in your eyes that I’d never seen before. I knew he was the one for you.

Jake, you’re not just gaining a wife today, but a best friend, a fierce advocate, and a karaoke partner for life. Take care of our girl, and know that you’re getting one of the best people I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.

Emma and Jake, may your love continue to grow, may your laughter never fade, and may your life together be as beautiful as the love you share. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and terrible dance moves. Cheers to the happy couple!

Maid of Honor Wedding Speech Example – Humorous

Well, folks, as Emma’s maid of honor, I’m contractually obligated to embarrass her in front of all her loved ones. Don’t worry, Emma, I’ll keep it PG-13… mostly.

First off, let’s talk about Emma’s infamous “cooking” phase in college. Did you know that she once set off the fire alarm trying to boil water? Jake, I hope you’ve got the local pizza place on speed dial. And let’s not forget the time she decided to give herself a haircut the night before a big job interview. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well, but she got the job anyway. That’s our Emma – failing upwards with style!

But for all her questionable life choices, Emma’s made one brilliant decision today – marrying Jake. Jake, you’re getting a woman who can turn any situation into an adventure, even if that adventure involves explaining to the fire department why the smoke alarm is going off… again.

Emma, you’re my best friend, my partner in crime, and now, officially, someone else’s problem. Just kidding! Jake, take care of our girl. And remember, if she ever offers to cook you a romantic dinner, I’ve left the number for poison control under your plate. To the happy couple!

John, my best friend, my brother in all but blood. Standing here today, watching you marry the love of your life, Sarah, fills me with an indescribable joy.

From our childhood adventures in your backyard treehouse to our college shenanigans and beyond, you’ve been a constant in my life, always there with a laugh, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement when I needed it most.

Sarah, from the moment John met you, I saw a change in him. He became happier, more driven, and even started doing his own laundry – a miracle if I’ve ever seen one. You bring out the best in him, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.

To John and Sarah, may your love story continue to unfold with the same magic that brought you together. May your home be filled with laughter, your hearts with love, and your lives with endless adventure. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness for two of the most deserving people I know. Cheers!

Ladies and gentlemen, for those who don’t know me, I’m Mike, John’s best man and long-suffering friend. I’ve known John since we were kids, and I can honestly say that Sarah is the best thing that’s ever happened to him – apart from me, of course.

John, buddy, I never thought I’d see the day when you’d willingly commit to anything other than your fantasy football league. Yet here we are, and I couldn’t be prouder. Sarah, you truly are a saint for taking on this project of a man. I hope you know what you’re getting into – his idea of cooking is microwaving leftover pizza, and he still thinks axe body spray is an acceptable substitute for a shower.

But in all seriousness, John, you’ve been my best friend through thick and thin. From covering for me when I snuck out in high school to being my wingman at bars (albeit a terrible one), you’ve always had my back. Sarah, thank you for making my best friend the happiest I’ve ever seen him. You two are perfect together, like peanut butter and jelly, or in John’s case, like pizza and more pizza.

To the happy couple! May your love be as endless as John’s appetite and as strong as Sarah’s patience. Cheers!

Friends, family, and those who got dragged here against their will, we are gathered here today to witness the voluntary imprisonment… I mean, the joyous union of Alex and Jamie.

Now, I’ve known Alex for years, and I can confidently say that Jamie is the best decision Alex has ever made. And that’s including the time Alex decided to get that “No Ragrets” tattoo – which, ironically, they immediately regretted.

Marriage, my friends, is like a walk in the park. Jurassic Park, that is. It’s exciting, sometimes scary, and occasionally, you might need to outrun a T-Rex. But with the right partner by your side, even facing down prehistoric predators can be an adventure.

Alex and Jamie, as you embark on this wild journey called marriage, remember these words of wisdom: Always say “I love you,” never go to bed angry, and most importantly, agree on which way the toilet paper roll should go. Trust me, it’s the little things that count.

By the power vested in me by a surprisingly easy online ordination process, I now pronounce you married. You may now kiss your partner and seal your fate… I mean, your love.

Olivia, my darling daughter, I’ve been dreading this day since you were born – not because I’m losing you, but because I knew I’d have to make a speech in front of all these people. You couldn’t have just eloped, could you?

I still remember the day you were born. I held you in my arms and thought, “I’m going to have to pay for a wedding someday.” Well, that day has come, and let me tell you, weddings were a lot cheaper 25 years ago.

Daniel, when Olivia first brought you home, I had my doubts. But then I saw how happy you make her, and I realized something important – I can finally cancel her phone plan and car insurance.

In all seriousness, Daniel, you’re the son I never had, mainly because your mother-in-law said one kid was enough. Welcome to the family, son. Remember, our family motto is “We put the ‘fun’ in dysfunctional.”

To Olivia and Daniel, may your love be as strong as the WiFi signal you’ll fight over, and may your marriage be longer than the line for the open bar tonight. Cheers!

Joint wedding speeches are a relatively new trend, but according to speechy the have become more popular in the recent years.

So I thought, why not include some examples.

Joint Wedding Speech Example – Sentimental (Best Man and Maid of Honor)

Best Man (James): Good evening, everyone. I’m James, the best man, and standing beside me is the maid of honor, Emily. We’ve known Alex and Sarah since college, and we’re honored to share this special day with them.

Maid of Honor (Emily): When James and I were asked to give a joint speech, we immediately agreed. After all, who better to talk about the bride and groom than their best friends who’ve been there through it all?

James: I’ve known Alex since our freshman year when we were roommates. From day one, I knew he was someone special – kind, loyal, and always up for an adventure.

Emily: And I met Sarah in our first psychology class. Her infectious laugh and compassionate nature made us instant friends.

James: I remember the day Alex met Sarah. He came back to our dorm with this goofy grin on his face, talking about this amazing girl he’d just met.

Emily: Sarah called me that same night, gushing about the cute guy she’d bumped into at the campus coffee shop. Little did they know that their chance encounter would lead to this beautiful day.

James: Over the years, we’ve watched Alex and Sarah’s love grow. They’ve supported each other through tough exams, celebrated each other’s victories, and built a relationship based on trust, respect, and genuine friendship.

Emily: Sarah, you’ve been my rock through so many life events. Your strength and kindness never cease to amaze me. Alex, thank you for loving our girl so completely and for being such a wonderful addition to our friend group.

Joint Wedding Speech Example – Humorous (Father of the Bride and Father of the Groom)

Father of the Bride (Tom): Good evening, everyone. I’m Tom, Jessica’s dad, and this distinguished gentleman beside me is Bob, Ryan’s father. We’ve been asked to give a joint speech tonight, which is fitting because we’ve been joining forces for years now to keep these two out of trouble.

Father of the Groom (Bob): That’s right, Tom. When our kids first started dating, we thought we’d finally get a break. Little did we know we were just trading one set of headaches for another.

Tom: I remember the day Jessica told us about Ryan. I was thrilled – not just because he made her happy, but because I finally had someone else to blame for the dents in my car.

Bob: And when Ryan introduced us to Jessica, I was ecstatic. I thought, “Finally, someone who might be able to teach my son that socks don’t belong on the coffee table.”

Tom: Over the years, we’ve watched Jessica and Ryan’s relationship grow. They’ve supported each other through thick and thin, good times and bad, and countless pizza deliveries.

Bob: Ryan has always been an, let’s say, “interesting” kid. When he was five, he wanted to be a dinosaur when he grew up. Jessica, I’m glad you’ve managed to slightly adjust his career goals.

Tom: And Jessica, well, she’s always been our little princess. Ryan, I hope you know that “princess” is just a fancy word for “someone who always gets their way.” Good luck with that, son.

Bob: But in all seriousness, we couldn’t be happier to see these two tying the knot. They complement each other perfectly, like peanut butter and jelly, or in their case, like Netflix and procrastination.

Tom: Jessica, sweetheart, you’ve made us proud in so many ways. Your kindness, your intelligence, and your ability to put up with Ryan’s jokes are truly impressive.

Bob: And Ryan, my boy, seeing the man you’ve become and the way you love Jessica fills my heart with joy. Your mother and I couldn’t be prouder.

Tom: As fathers, we’re not losing a daughter and a son today. We’re gaining…

Bob: …a whole lot of expenses. Seriously, do you two know how much grandkids cost these days?

Tom: To Jessica and Ryan, may your love be as strong as our new combined credit card debt, and may your marriage be filled with more laughter than the time Ryan tried to propose and forgot the ring.

Bob: May you always support each other’s dreams, have patience for each other’s quirks, and most importantly, may you always remember whose turn it is to do the dishes.

Tom and Bob (together): To the happy couple! May your love story be long, your arguments short, and may you always remember – we’re just a phone call away… unless you need money or babysitting. Cheers!

Final Thoughts: Toasting to Your Success

At the heart of every great wedding speech is genuine emotion and a desire to celebrate love. Whether you’re the wise-cracking best man, the sentimental maid of honor, or the parent trying not to ugly-cry through your entire speech, your sincerity will shine through. Don’t let the pressure get to you.

Even if you stumble over a few words or your voice cracks with emotion, in ten years, the only thing people will remember is how much love was in the room. Now go forth and speak your heart out! And if all else fails, just raise your glass and say, “To love, laughter, and happily ever after!” Cheers to you, cheers to the happy couple, and cheers to love in all its beautiful, messy, wonderful forms!
