[Bride/groom] and [bride/groom], may your marriage be filled with love, laughter and happiness. May you support and encourage each other, and may your love grow stronger every day.

Example 2
"Dear family, friends and bride and groom,
I am so honoured to be here today to celebrate the union of two amazing people (bride and groom) celebrate. They have known each other for many years and their friendship has grown into something very beautiful.
Today is a holiday and I am sure the couple is feeling a mix of emotions, happiness, joy and excitement about the future. To mark this special day, let me offer a few words of advice.
First, always be honest with each other. Always communicate your feelings and be open to listening to each other. Respect each other's opinions and never take each other for granted.
Second, make sure you always make time for each other. In the hustle and bustle of life, it is easy to forget how important it is to make time for your partner.
Third, don't forget to laugh and have fun together. Life is too short to take it too seriously.
Finally, my last piece of advice is to never forget why you are together. You are two people who love each other very much, and that is the most important thing.
So, for (bride and groom), may your marriage be filled with love, laughter and joy. Congratulations"
Example 3
"Good evening everyone,
I am so honoured and happy to be here today to celebrate this wonderful union.
First, I want to [bride and groom] thank them for having me here and for inviting us all to share this special day with them.
When [bride and groom] came together for the first time, I noticed how happy they were. They had a warmth around them that was infectious, and it was clear to everyone around them that they were meant for each other.
Since then, I have had the pleasure of watching their love grow and blossom. I have had the honour of being there when they first met, and now to be there when they say "yes" to each other today.
This day is a testament to the strength of their love and commitment to each other. [Bride and groom], may the coming years be filled with love, joy and happiness.
Cheers to the happy couple!"
