Humorous Wedding Speech

I would like to begin by welcoming you all here today and saying thank you from Melissa and myself / Rick and Barb/ Ali and Mindo for taking the time and effort to join us in celebrating this special occasion. We know that some of you have made long journeys to be here today and we hope you all have a great time in these beautiful surroundings. I want to thank Kevin and the Willow Creek staff for all the hard work in preparing for this beautiful occasion and making Ali and Mindo wedding day so special. I also want to thank my beautifully talented wife/ Melissa. As you can see by looking around the room that the attention to detail and the capability of being able to make this affair so perfect does not go unnoticed. She really has a gift. I think she deserves a round of applause. I want to thank Rick and Barb for the beautiful rehearsal dinner last night.
It was really special being able to have the Marcinni and Juliano

I know I personally wish my father; your poppy could be here today. I can just picture him setting in that church with tears in his eyes as you and I walked down that aisle. I believe he is here in spirit/ and I know he would be as proud of you/ as we are. Ali there have been only three times in my life when I have been absolutely speechless. First was the moment you were born, the second was when I saw you today looking absolutely stunning in your wedding dress and the third was when you told me exactly how much all of this was going to cost today. I truly believe what attracted Ali to Mindo was his devotion and belief that strong family values are so important to a long lasting relationship. Rick and Bard I congratulate you on what you have instilled not only in Mindo but in all of your children- that family is so important. It is the foundation for a strong and healthy
