Humorous Wedding Speech For Father

To say that it is difficult to put into words all the emotions I have felt this past year would be a serious understatement. Everyday of my year was something a little different and a little unexpected. I won’t lie and say that it was smiles and laughs though. Some days I wanted to cry and quit, some I was so overwhelmed and stressed I didn’t know how I could possibly get through the year, and some I just wanted to sleep and forget all of my responsibilities. But I didn’t. The absolutely inspiring support that had surrounded me, whether it was family, friends, teachers, committee members, or big sisters and backstage moms, made me want to get up, work harder, and be better. The list of people I am thankful for is so impossibly long and I am very blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.

You two have given me pretty much everything. You have pushed me and encouraged me everyday. Mom, thank you for being my coach and for watching my fitness so many times that you learned it. Thank you for taking me to local programs all over the state and for waiting for me each time as I got to know so many new people. Dad, thank you for every little piece of advice you offered for both my fitness and for my talent. Because of you, I looked a hundred times better on that stage than I could have hoped for. Thank you for sitting through every meeting. I know it wasn’t always fun but it means the world to me that you were there by my side. But the things I really want to thank the two of you for are not tangible or measurable; they are abstract and infinite. You two have given me drive, ambition, and work ethic. You have given me confidence, self-worth, and a sense of security in who I am. Without you two, I would never have taken on this stage. Thank you for giving me everything I would ever need to be who I want to
