:P
will be sleeping in 6 star De Fullerton Hotel, king size bed with my mom. the hotel looks classic. am working on the thank you speech for my uncle. this is the unedited one.
Someone once said that a good speech has both a good beginning and a good ending. A great speech however keeps both of these very close together.
One of the problems I’ve had is the middle bit! Too short and everyone gets very rare beef, too long and it’s well done!
Bearing this in mind, I’m aiming for Medium rare! Let’s see how we get on!
Ladies and Gentlemen, family and friends, on behalf of Jamie and me, welcome to you all and thank you for being here.
To my Mum,
Thank you for all the advices you have given me. For putting up with me and guiding me to the right direction. Taking all the years of delicate care and love you gave me into consideration, Mum I love you very much, hold your head high, you’ve done a cracking job!
To Jamie’s parents,
Thank you for all your love and support and for giving Jamie a great start in life. I haven’t just gained a wife today, but also a family. Thank you to all of you for making me feel so welcome. Most of all, thank you for bringing Jamie up to be the woman that I have married.
Jamie,
I now come to the most important person in my life.
To borrow a few words from a song, by Embrace. Honey, it’s been a long time coming.... & I can’t stop smiling and I can’t stop now!….
Simply put…. ‘You look absolutely stunning, you take my breath away!’ I’m just so proud to be your Husband… Thank You!
They say, ‘To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.’
It works for me.
We have so many plans to make throughout our lives together but, whatever happens, I know that we will be together forever and that is all that matters in this world
I’m going to finish with a little verse which I’d like to claim are my own words but they’re not – however, they are ‘My thoughts exactly !
There are so many things I love about you
I love your childlike quality,
Your sense of wonder,
Your enthusiasm for life and love
I love the way you understand me
Better, than anyone I’ve ever known.
The way you’re always thinking of things to make me happy
I love the fun we have together
The way you can always make me laugh
Just when I need it most
And I love the way I am when I’m with you
I see things more clearly
Through your eyes and your touch
Makes me feel everything more deeply
I love discovering the inner you
That other people never see
And the more I discover, the more I find to love
I love you simply because you are you
That’s why I know for the rest of my life I will always be in love with only you
Not forgetting, my friends and family who are together with us in this hall today,
Thank you for joining us today and thank you for spending some of your time to attend this ceremony. For all my friends who made a long long long trip from Ipoh, thank you for attending my wedding. I hope you all enjoy your time here.
so? what you all think?
