We are here on this beautiful day to celebrate two awesome people, Cathy and John.

Hello everyone, my name is Sara, and I am honored to be Cathy's maid of honor.

Cathy has been my best friend for over 14 years now. And I couldn't ask for anything more in a friend than what she has been to me. We met in our freshman year of college and have been close throughout the years even with some distance between us.

Cathy is easygoing, beautiful, smart, and adventurous, among other things. From beer making to backpacking she is always open to trying new things. It was clear to me from early on that John was special to Cathy because he shares that same easy going nature and sense of adventure.

When I sat down to write this speech, for inspiration I searched through my emails and came across one from March of 2009, when I had asked how Cathy's new relationship was going, and her response was “I like John. (pause) And I'm liking him more everytime we hang out.”

When I first met John, I thought to myself (pause) maybe Cathy has a thing for redheads.  But once I got to know John for the fun, outgoing, exceptional guy he is I knew her love for him went beyond our obvious gorgeous locks.

I have never seen Cathy so happy as when she is with you. John, you are a great guy and generous with your love for Cathy. She has been an outstanding best friend to me and I know you two will make excellent life partners.

So here's to you, Cathy and John, may you like each other more each time you hang out. (raise glass) Cheers!
