Bride Wedding Speech or Toast

Good Evening…or Good Evening Everyone … 
(or any suitable greeting you may wish to use, Trish)

On behalf of Steven and myself I would like to thank you all for joining us today as we celebrate our marriage. I know that some of you have traveled many miles to be here – thank you. We are honored to have you with us.

(or, Steven and I sincerely appreciate what you have done.)
(or, Steven and I sincerely appreciate your efforts.)

As I look around me, I am reminded of the importance of family and friends… Steven and I are truly blessed in having all of you with us today to share in this joyous occasion – to witness our union and the coming together of our two families…
thank you all for your support and your love.

I do believe that in many ways Steven and I have been moving towards each other all of our lives – we simply took a rather circuitous route…
(or, indirect route)

You see, Steven and I have actually known each other since 8^th Grade…

I had just moved from California and we attended the same school…
There was definitely something going on between us – after all, we did date each other for three full weeks – to this day, I’m not exactly sure what that dating actually consisted of – 8^th Grade seems like a lifetime ago now…
And, I’m certain that our children would agree that 8^th Grade DEFINITELY WAS a lifetime ago!

..........

I know that I have been blessed in the fact that our paths have been brought together once again…
