I thought I had prepared myself quite well for today but nothing could have prepared me enough for when I saw Ashley walk down the aisle. Ashley, you look absolutely beautiful tonight. I have known Ashley for a couple of years and we have formed a bond that is undesirable.

Today is a celebration of not only where you are now, and the road ahead, but the road that has brought you here.

Now Ashley you are an amazing woman. It is an honor to have stood beside you today as your maid of honor and friend. Ashley you are a beautiful person inside and out. You are a fantastic friend – loyal, patient, generous, and kind.

Stanley you look stunning as well. I’m sure you know that you are a very lucky man to have Ashley as your wife. Stanley, I know you will love and care for Ashley for the rest of her life. I couldn’t wish for a better groom for my best friend!

Separately, you are two special, remarkable people, but together you are complete.

When I look at the bride and groom, I feel such happiness because i know that Ashley and Stanley have found their true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing.

I have some Advice for you Stanley
Always remember to say those three important little words…”You’re right dear.”
Whenever you are wrong, admit it. Whenever you are right, be quiet.
And, Stanley always remember…a happy wife, makes for a happy life!

You two have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God’s blessing your marriage will last for decades to come.

So please raise you glasses : To Ashley and Stanley Brookes. May you live forever in love, and may love live forever in you.

Should i keep the advice thing to Stanley?

Is it too long?

Should read the speach off of a piece of paper or should i have to memorize it?
i ment indescribable regarding me and ahley’s friendship!

Does anyone know a good ending quote/line? Something to toast the bride and groom??

I would appreciate the help!

Thanks!

I don’t really know what to write though.
My sister and I are really close, and she’s about five years older than me.
I’d like some ideas or suggestions for a good speech, it’s much appreciated. :]

Please & thanks.

Hi, for you that don’t know me I am Amber’s sister Lacey. Two years ago Amber was the maid of honor at my wedding and I can’t believe I am standing here doing the same for my little sister. I would like to start off by congratulating you two and would like to welcome Ryan into are family. About 16 months ago Ryan and Amber gave are family a beautiful little girl my niece Daci Sue or as we call her Sue Sue, if you have never met Daci you will tonight because that girl could can stay up and party I know that from experince. I looked forward to seeing them having more children and watching there family grow. I would like to take a moment and mention the Grand parents who could not be here today, but know they are watching you today and could not be more proud. I would also like to Mention one of the most special person in Ryan’s Life that could not be here, his mother Mina sue Walls, Ryan I know your mom is in heaven and thinking what a great son she has and is so happy. I would like to end this speech by saying you guy are going to make a wonderful life for yourself and We all look forward to be a part of it . So lets raise are Glasses to the Happy couple Ryan and Amber Walls.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Kimberly, Alicia’s sister and Casey’s new sister-in-law. For those of you who do know me, I would gladly take all those chocolates off your hands. Anyways, I want to start out by saying thank you all for coming. It really means a lot that you’re spending this special day with the bride and groom.
To put it bluntly, Casey and Alicia were made to be together. I love you guys so much and I’m so happy for the both of you. I know you’re going to have a great and adventurous life together for decades to come. I’m well aware that this is going to sound cheesy, but your happiness is like a pebble falling into water. Your happiness together ripples out to everyone around you.
Now, I have known Casey for some years now, but if it weren’t for our traditional Sunday night dinners my dad makes every week then I would have never gotten to know Casey as well as I have. He’s such an easy going, laid back person who still knows how to have a good time- as you all will see tonight when he breaks out his awesome dance moves.
And Alicia. Let me just begin by saying you look beautiful in your dress. I couldn’t ask for a better big sister- and Tricia you know what I mean. Alicia, you guided the both of us through the tough times in life like when it came to shaving our legs, for example. I remember you couldn’t stress enough to start with the razor at the bottom of our shins and shave up- not down! Thanks to you I avoided a lot of razor burns. You also helped us with our hair and make up and if it weren’t for you I probably would have ended up going to homecoming looking like Amy Whinehouse. Nobody could explain the life of a girl better than you could. You have always been there for Tricia and I and I know you always will be, just now Casey is in the picture. If you feel left out from our girl talk, Casey, then you can throw in some advice about my hair, too, if you want.
I know it’s normal and healthy for you to fight. In fact, knock yourself out when necessary, but Casey, a word from the wise. Don’t try wrestling Alicia because she will win that fight. I know from experience.
If you want some useful advice then it would have to be to forgive and forget, don’t take life too seriously, and love each other with all your heart. I know there’s nothing you two can’t handle.
One last thing, just remember your wedding vows are non-refundable.
So now, if you would all please raise your glasses so I can make a toast to my sister and her husband:

-So, how long should the speech be?
-I would like to include some funny memory from when we were kids that relates to her personality now, but what else can I put in it?
-I’m not a big fan of really sappy sentimental stuff, but I also don’t want to make it funny, so what do you suggest?
-Any tips, ideas, or good websites or references would be great!

Thanks!
Also, if you could tell me some things to avoid in a speech (although I’m pretty sure I know what NOT to say).

” Hi, my name is ____, __________ and I met in college in our major. We have enjoyed many adventures at yogurtland, target and olive garden. One of the times I remember the most is this past christmas when _____ and I had just finished dinner and decided to browse the new target that had opened. We had all intention to just go window shopping but instead came out and hour later with bags full of the most random items from the dollar section. I am glad everyone is here to join ______ and her new husband ______ on their first day as man and wife. Please join me in a toast to new beginnings of a long and happy marriage. Lots of love, children, and surprises in the future. I hope and wish you two all the best.”

For the target story I can switch it out for the a story about how she kept asking for bread at the olive garden and when the plates were being cleared I saw she had a pile of half eaten bread on her plate and she said it was bc she didnt like cold bread and they got cold after a while.

Any help is appreciated!
