We have our beautiful children,
in life we've been truly blessed,
and of all the mothers in the world,
you simply are one of the best.
I've gone from not caring to highly driven,
you're my oil, you're my motor, my v eight,
but much more that, you're my best friend,
my lover, my confidant, my very own soul-mate.
And I know that you know a lot about market research,
but I've researched the market, and you're the very best,
and I just wanted you to know that I love you very much,
yes <NAME>, it's official, you've passed the ultimate test.
I love how, without hesitation and conditions,
you embraced my children, tightly to your chest,
you never made them feel you were the "replacement",
and in the difficult times, you just did your very best.
However, I know you would have been the best Dad ever,
because you were the finest husband on planet Earth,
and I know that (NAME) and (NAME) also miss you very much,
yes, (NAME), we all know your true and honest worth.
I'd like to begin by saying thank you,
the last 9 months have been my best ever,
we've sort of got to know each other quite well,
after all we were sort of in this together.
Look, I'm the maid of honor here,
and I certainly don't want to preach,
but I'm going to share a few thoughts,
and I'll try not to make this a boring old speech.
And I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me,
that I want to repay the wonderful gentleness that you've shown,
you're my best friend, my lover, my soul-mate, my husband,
and it's because of your love that the orchid has grown.
We have a 29 year difference in our age
but that has not stopped us from enjoying each other,
you're my best friend, my confidant,
you're my husband and yes, my lover.
Hear me, my darling, speaking sooth,
Gather the fleet flower of your youth,
Take ye your pleasure at the best;
Be merry ere your beauty flit,
For length of days will tarnish it
Like roses that were loveliest.
I know you like a drink and a good chat,
but you?ve always given us an ear that?ll understand,
and I know you?ve been a very protective and proud father,
but to be honest, you?re the best Dad in all this land.
I am a better person since I met you,
you make me want to be the best that I can,
and I want to give you the happiness that you deserve,
you see, I only want the very best for my man.
You love those old black and white movies,
and from Cleveland, you've travelled afar,
and I think our wedding song was simply perfect,
because you are loved: "Just the way you are"
We've been apart since our wedding,
a cold wintry morning on (DATE)
but it's only our jobs and circumstance that could separate us,
because only with you, my world's a better place to be.
I know you're both nervous about being parents,
but you'll find it'll come naturally and those worries will end,
and Dad already knows that he's so very lucky,
(because he's married his very best friend).
And I'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.
And I know that Dad is very proud of you,
actually, he told me he loves you with all his heart,
and he wanted to say you're the best wife in the world,
but you know what he's like (he didn't know where to start).
You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.
But you made many sacrifices for our educations,
because you wanted to give us the very best of starts,
and of all the 52 cards in any one pack,
we?re very lucky, we drew the Kings of Hearts.
best wedding speech
