Father of the Bride Speech
Ladies and Gentlemen.... this is the first speech I've given since my
own wedding almost 30 years ago so you will probably appreciate that I
am a bit rusty at this sort of thing.
Elisabeth and I are very pleased to welcome you all here today. We
appreciate the fact that some of you have traveled long distances to
be with us, but trust that it has all been worthwhile. None of us will
ever forget what a perfect couple Angela and Matt made as they walked
down the aisle.
I cannot think what attracted Matt to Angela.... We thought we might
be stuck with her for ever.... just like her rabbit !! However, Angela
really is a hard working and conscientious young lady, but more
importantly she is loving and caring.
We first met Matt early in 1994 when Angela arranged to bring him from
Keele to spend a week with us. We looked forward to meeting her new
boyfriend. However, things didn't go according to plan as shortly
after they arrived late one Thursday night, Elisabeth and I had to
head north in the early hours of the Friday morning, only to return
late on the Sunday. Then I had to go away on business so I hardly saw
Matt at all. Our first impressions were that he was a very quiet lad.
Anyway, over the last four and a half years we have come to know Matt
well; he too is loving and caring and Elisabeth and I are delighted to
welcome Matt into our family..... Does he realize, however, that he is
not only taking on Angela, but also her two brothers, a challenge in
itself, not to mention her collection of rabbits.
What about Angela! Several unforgettable incidents spring to mind.
There was the time when Graham fed his six month old sister with
marigolds in an effort to stop her crying: he didn't succeed in
getting rid of her then, but he's made certain of it today by ensuring
that Matt takes her off his hands!
Then there was the episode of Angela standing at the top of the stairs
and throwing down a glass tumbler saying, "Catch, Daddy" ..........
Daddy was at the bottom of the stairs, but he caught it.
"Daddy is good at this" she thought....... So on another occasion she
launched herself off the stairs expecting me to catch her......
Unfortunately I was carrying a cup of tea at the time.......However, I
did get my priorities in the right order, dropped the cup of tea and
caught Angela!
Then there was the time in church one Sunday morning when, after
wandering around the church for a short while, she stood at the back
of the church, called out "Ready, Steady, Go"........and raced down
the aisle, what a difference to the sedate pace of today.
Most of you will know Angela is very strong willed. There have been
many times when she had made up her mind as to what she
wanted.....much against our advice and what we thought would be right
for her.......but each time she proved us wrong.
Angela always worked hard to keep up with her brothers but ... she did
manage to get one thing over them..........she passed her driving test
first time!! I'm not too sure how........ it was also about this time
that I went very grey !
Parents usually expect boys to be untidy, but my goodness, you should
see Angela's bedroom! She managed to outshine them in this too. I hope
she will turn over a new leaf when she moves to Five Oak Green,
otherwise Matt will wonder what has hit him!
Traveling has not always been kind to Angela. From a very early age
she suffered from severe travel sickness.... She is the only person I
know to have turned green on a kiddies' roundabout. Then she had a
jinx on coaches....whether it was a school trip ..or a day out with
the Brownies or Guides, the coach on which they were traveling would
invariably break down ! Not a good omen for someone who was to go on
to study languages at University. However, she was successful and has
now made a career for herself in Offshore investments.
Six months ago today, Angela decided......and Matt agreed .....on a
rather strange pact......they would not eat chocolate until their
wedding day. This has been a valiant effort on their part, but now
Elisabeth and I think Matt has suffered more than enough and therefore
we would like to present him with this bar of chocolate.
As Angela and Matt take this great step forward in their lives
together, Elisabeth and I both feel that we are not losing Angela, but
entrusting her to Matt's good care! Not only have we gained another
son.....but also a computer buff !.....and help desk!
People always say at weddings something like " I hope their married
life will be as happy as my own"... I should like to add to that.
....I hope their married life will be as happy as my wife has made my
own. For it is a good wife that makes a good marriage........and that
is just what Matt has managed to find.
As some of you will know, Elisabeth works wonders with an embroidery
needle.... Sometimes to mark special occasions.......And today is no
exception. So, we would like to present Angela and Matt with this
embroidery as a permanent memento of this wonderful day.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen.......may I ask you to rise and lift
your glasses.......as we drink a toast of long life and great
happiness to the bride and groom........To Angela and Matt
Looking for that great opening or close. Here we have a wide selection
of wedding toasts for everyone to everyone
