My Wedding Speech

Ah! So this is how it works...
Good evening!
I'm the groom
John: Stand up comedy? Kostas: Sure, why not?
Be quiet, you look at that Just look at that, look, it says "Good Evening"
Chris, I can hear you
Oops, there's speakers here Let's go somewhere else, no one likes feedback
Where's a good spot...
So... we thought we'd say a couple of words now that we've got everyone gathered together
It's a good opportunity, isn't it?
Literally two words though, cause I see you're enjoying the food so I don't want to delay you for too long
Obviously for my good friends from abroad it's all subtitled
Right, so like I said, I won't say a lot
although, truth be told, there's a lot I'd like to say
about our parents first and foremost to whom we owe everything
about our extended families who've helped us with their love and support to be where we are right now
about our old friends who've been by our side every step of our way
and about our new friends of course who've travelled from every corner to be with us tonight
but mainly about Christianna
about my feelings for her and about our relationship through the years
Besides you all know us very well
and you know that both myself and Christianna like to keep a low profile
and Christianna kindly asked me to not do anything tonight that will embarass her in any way
she asked this specifically of me
So for that reason I just thought I'd say
these few words
so yeah... just that...
just a simple "thank you"
to everything and everyone
that lead us to this point tonight
Thank you
Besides
I'm sorry
One sec
One more thing, just briefly
Besides, truth be told, this is just a speech, right?
I mean, how many things can one say in a speech?
Is it possible to express all of my feelings for Christianna in a single speech?
Is it really possible?
No, it isn't possible
I mean, how can you express all these things?
and how can you express them timelessly?
I don't think this is possible to do in a speech...
But I don't know how this can be done...
How can you express...
How can you express so many years of affectionate companionship?
How can you express so many years of your warm embrace?
How can you fit in words all those moments?
How can you express in words how my heart beats
With every smile and every glance
I wish I had a set of Magical Keys
So I could lock this night forever in time
And though I know it's impossible
to hold on to this moment forever
I look to the heavens
and secretly I whisper a prayer
May we forever remember
All this Love that tonight surrounds us tightly in its embrace
And may it keep the flame of our Love
Forever burning strong
In parallel
some years ago our lives began
but even when our paths separated
something brought us together again
and drove the loneliness away
Unexpectedly
as if it were a dream I met you
like a flash of light you stood out from the crowd
your eyes stole my heart
and your smile left me speechless
But as suddenly as you filled my night with colour
so you disappeared again and I still remember
all those sleepless nights in my empty bed
reminiscing on your beautiful face
Oh God let there be a miracle and let me see her once more
But soon
the wheels of fortune turned again
and intertwined the threads of our lives once again
cautiously, it brought us close
but this time we both knew very well
we'd stick together forever!
So many years have gone by but that moment remains eternal
when you gave me your hand and I made a wish upon a falling star
the sweetness I tasted when you kissed me for the first time
may I taste it for all eternity!
We saw so many places and met so many new people together
hand in hand we roamed the earth and saw so many new things
but here's a sacred promise that I vow to you my love:
So far this was only the beginning!
Tomorrow is a new day it's the glorious premiere of our new life
A new journey but we've already set off to a flying start
and I am not afraid of getting lost on the way
when I have you as my guiding light!
So many memories and so many moments
How can you fit in words all these thoughts?
and how I wish I had the set of Magical Keys
so I could lock this night forever in time
And though I know it's impossible
to hold on to this moment forever
I look to the heavens
and secretly I whisper a prayer
May we forever remember
All this Love that tonight surrounds us tightly in its embrace
And may it keep the flame of our Love
And though I know it's impossible
to hold on to this moment forever
I look to the heavens
and secretly I whisper a prayer
May we forever remember
All this Love that tonight surrounds us tightly in its embrace
And may it keep the flame of our Love
Forever burning strong
Thank you all very much!
Enjoy the rest of the evening!
