Example Bride speech by Karen W

I know that some people believe that it is not traditional for a bride to
make a speech on her wedding day, infact even my husband here believes that.
You really would have thought he'd have learnt by now, that I always have the
last say! However Darren, just incase you ever do want to have the last say,
just remember it's 'Yes darling, anything you want.'

Well, firstly I just want to thank you all for being here, after all not many
people have to pay over 1000pnds to come to a wedding. Yet, here you all are
in Cuba & all I can say is 'It's my wedding day & I honestly couldn't think
of a better group of people to share it with.'

I'd also like to thank my mum & Leigh - cos they've put up with a lot of shit
over the years. Still, they've always stood by me, supporting every crazy
idea, notion, phase & stage I've gone through, infact my mum has often put my
happiness before her own, in doing this. Well, I can honestly say that
together they've managed to make me the woman I am today & I like to think
that they can sit here quite proud of that fact. I know the rest of you sit
here today, feeling that they have a hell of a lot to answer for - and I
agree, whole heartedly - I'm all for blaming the parents! Still, I think I
speak for both Darren & myself when I say - they've not only been parents -
they've been friends.

I would also like to thank my mother-in-law, Min - and Billy (who I know will
be looking down on us today), because quite simply, without them - well there
wouldn't be Darren, and I wouldn't be stood here quite so happy today.
I'd probably be in a pub, pissed somewhere, but that's another story.

And last but by no means least, I'd like to thank my husband, Darren, who has
made me the happiest girl alive today.
Over the last 5 years, Darren has been everything to me - my partner, my best
friend, my soul mate, my drinking partner, clubbing partner & backpacking
companion - not to mention my chauffeur, my cleaner & my butler! And here he
stands today - my husband!
As you all know - we've had a fantastic 5 years together & I know we're going
to have a fantastic lifetime together, and I for one am going to drink to
that for the rest of my life, so all that is left to say is - (glasses
raised) - LET THE DRINKING COMMENCE!
