Best Man, second marriage for Bride
and Groom
Good Evening. My name is James, and on
behalf of Matthew and Angie, I would like to thank you
for attending this blessed event today! I have the
double honor of acting as both Officiate and Best Man
tonight, and am thrilled that I am with these two
wonderful people as they begin this new chapter in their
lives.
This is an especially eventful day
because it offers Angie and Matthew each a second chance
at happiness. What a wonderful day of hope and joy,
peace and contentment. Angie and Matthew have each
walked many miles to be here together today, and this
wedding is a joy to behold. I can speak for everyone in
this room, when I say we all wish you the happiness that
you deserve. We are so glad that you have found one
another, and this day is a reminder that the best is yet
to come.
Each of you has worked hard to get here
today, and when life handed you difficulties, it did not
make you bitter, it made you better. Your marriage to
each other is a true triumph of hope over experience.
It’s been said that if marriage is to be a success, one
should begin by marrying the right person. It’s obvious
that each of you is indeed marrying the right person
today.
Angie and Matthew met as student and
teacher when Angie was taking architecture classes.
These two wonderful people, who know how to build homes,
and bridges, and all sorts of other things, are blessed
to know that any thing that is going to last a long time
starts with a good foundation. Keeping these rules in
mind, it is already clear that the foundation Ken and
Angie have created for their life together is sturdy,
and will withstand all the storms and sunny days ahead.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a couple who
compliment each other as much as these two do. Matthew
is an intelligent, soft-spoken, organized and witty
man. He is very well respected in his field of
architecture, and he’s just a generally all round nice
guy, too!
Angie is a dear, dear friend who has been
on a spiritual journey to better herself and I would say
she has had a remarkable quest. In her business, Angie
focuses her architecture with a “healing” aspect
(colors, material, placement of windows, doors, etc.).
I have always been amazed at her ability to pull things
together and transform the dull and ordinary into
something extraordinary.
I enjoy watching Angie and Matthew
challenge each other to continuously be better. They
are very supportive of each other, and while they
compete in the same field, they are never competitors.
They are two people with a wonderful amount of synergy
and they are a joy to know. Their family is rounded out
by Cookie, their chocolate lab, and the three of them
seem very content to be together!
They say that there is no surprise as
magical as finding your life’s mate later in life. You
two must feel the magic, because it seems as if your
happiness emanates from you on this very magical day!
I really feel that I would be remiss if I
did not just give you a couple of pieces of advice.
Primarily, though, Matthew, these are directed at you.
Never go to bed angry………….always stay up
and argue.
Always remember the three little
words……."You're right dear".
Keep the lid down, and
The best way to remember your anniversary
is to forget it once.
Let’s raise our glasses as we toast this
couple:
May you both live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
