Wedding toast
Once in a while, in the middle of an otherwise ordinary life, love bestows on us a fairy-tale, a
romance that is true and pure. I have never seen another couple as in love as these two people
here who have been married today and I am so honored to know and love them. Congratulations
to you both and to the beautiful future that lays ahead of you.
Here's a toast to the future, a toast to the past, and a toast to our friends, far and near. The
past a bright dream; may our friends remain faithful and clear. May you live as long as
you want and never want as long as you live.
