Wedding Speech by a Childhood Friend of the Groom
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the bridesmaids, I would like to thank Scott for his kind words. For once in my life, I find myself agreeing with him - they look stunning and did an excellent job today.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jason. I’ve been Scott’s best friend for nearly 20 years. I’ve known him for a similar period.
And all the time we’ve spent growing up together means that he’s had as much of a part in developing my sense of humor as anyone. So, while I have tried to make this speech funny, it’s his fault if it’s not.
I have very fond memories of growing up with Scott. I’ve been his partner in crime on many a wild occasion and, in quieter times, a close confidant to whom he could tell almost anything. And I do mean anything – which has provided me with ample material for my speech this afternoon.
Although I did agree not to divulge any details of the stag night, like about the Danish stripper he got chatting to in the hotel bar. So I won’t.
Scott and I have done many things together during our almost life-long friendship – although they’re probably not quite as interesting to relate as the story about that Danish stripper, but I gave him my word on that one.
Anyway, over the years we've built go-carts together, rode our bikes together, played football together, bunked school together, tried to...

And I, as much as all of you, want that happiness for myself. Er, sorry, I mean, I want their happiness to last forever. And I do.
So although I’m not actually married myself [turn to bridesmaids again], I thought it might be helpful if I offered them each a little piece of advice.
Pamela: no matter how far away you are from your loved one, when you’re married, you’re never alone - because you know where my flat is.
And Scott: getting married bestows upon you many, many obligations. But remember, foreplay is only optional.
Ladies and gentlemen, on a final and serious note, please be upstanding and raise your glasses to my very best friend and his beautiful new wife. To Scott and Pamela.
Although fictional, the book Safely Home written by Randy Alcorn is a remarkably dependable story based on real characters. The way of life in China and in America is portrayed in an extraordinarily accurate way. This book consists of a powerful story which focuses mainly on the persecution of Christians in China. Although not every follower of Christ lives in China and not every Christian is persecuted the way in which Li Quan, his family, and other fellow believers were persecuted, the morals and examples can be applied to any Christian’s life. Since the story takes place in today’s time period, the scenario is quite significant in any believer’s life. Christians should be more informed on the details of persecution around the world in order

The Gothic style evolved from that of Romanesque, building on concepts and ideas that led to the creation of larger and grander structures. Today, mankind looks in awe at the structures that were built hundreds of years ago without the assistance of modern technology and equipment. These architectural styles are indisputably different, but equally profound. They made use of differing techniques to become tangible structures that can still be seen

We have covered some very important strategies, concepts and information in this letter that will set you on a road to assist you in your relationship: such as understanding the power of words, developing strategies for listening, understanding how nonverbal expression can affect relationships, and evaluating appropriate self-disclosure. When you allow yourself to not to be selfish and you can put yourself in your mate’s shoes the road to a successful marriage will follow. Remember to acknowledge God because without him you would not be who you are today and you would not be in the process of getting married. As long as each of you treat each other how you expect to be treated you will experience a loving and healthy long lasting marriage. I pray that you have learned as much as I have and enjoy each other and your advancements.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I would like to echo the groom's sentiments and mention that all the bridesmaids look truly beautiful, indeed.
Firstly, on behalf of the bridesmaids, I'd like to thank the groom for his kind words, and I have to say they have done an excellent job today and look absolutely wonderful.
In conclusion, Chinese society more likely to increase in stability as Christianity expands in China. From a political standpoint, Christianity’s growth will work to improve the support of the Communist party in China. In terms of economics, Christianity’s expansion in China will spur both national economic growth and individual income improvement. Culturally, Christianity’s development in China will create a universal moral code that unifies the country and promotes parity. Christianity’s role in Chinese society is more important than the average observer would recognize. To the believer in China or abroad, the growth of Christianity in China needs to celebrated and its effects on societal stability seen as evidence of God’s grace in the redemption of all people.

Finally, on behalf of the bride and groom I would like to thank everyone for sharing their special day, it is a true millstone - sorry milestone in their lives. On behalf of myself I wish you'd all stayed at home - as things would have been a lot easier on me. I started planning this speech about 5 months ago and I expect you all feel like I've been delivering it equally as long. But now it gives me immense pleasure (not to mention relief) to invite you to all stand and raise your glasses in a toast to John and Angie. To love, laughter and happily ever after. To John and Angie CONGRATULATIONS
