Our Wedding Speech
"Marriage is finding that special someone you want to annoy for the rest of your life."
I am not sure from whom this quote came from but this is definitely us hahahahahah. We've been married for 3 years now.

Looking back, what they say is true you wouldn't remember a thing hahahaha I know I got upset with something and I know I was excited but you ask me now what was it, I might just answer you with a smile.
So what is this post about then, well I wanted to share with you our speech during that day, I just love reading our speeches it was written sincerely and maybe with a bit of help from Google 😏, I am trying to upload the video into Youtube but I still haven't gotten the chance to edit it yet.
So here it is our speeches, hoping that it could help some couples out there who are in need of inspiration.
To be loved, to be listened to, to be desired, to be
respected, to be needed, to be trusted, & sometimes just to be held.
I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude shared by myself and
my new bride Maria Victoria Galang Dela Cruz for being with us in this very
special occasion; to the people who relentlessly helped us to make our dream
wedding come true.
To all our Ninongs and Ninangs , families, and friends who
are all gathered and witnessed our union as we profess our love for one
another.
For Mommy Violy and
Daddy Pablito even though you are not
here with us, we know you two are with God's grace now and looking down gracing
us. I thank both of you for bringing this wonderful woman beside me whom I
share my love and life with. Please rest assured that I will always court her
every day and make her happy for the rest of my life.
Most importantly to my wife, thank you for always being
there for me and taking that first step of walking down the aisle to become Mrs
Dela Cruz. I will forever cherish every moment and every single day of my life
with you. I will be a good husband to you and a good father to our children.
Tulinday, I give you my heart, mind and soul, I may not be
the perfect man for you but trust that I will swim oceans and cross deserts
just to make you happy. It is not the end of a search but it is the beginning
of a new adventure and chapter of our lives as Mr and Mrs Dela Cruz....
Once again, thank you and please enjoy the rest of the
evening.
I know it’s
not traditional for the bride to make a speech at her wedding, but anyone who
knows me knows how hard it can be to keep me quiet and today is no exception!
However I'll try to keep it short good luck to me!
Firstly I’d like to thank
everybody who helped with the preparations today. You know who you are and you
are very special people. I am grateful to have your help, support and
friendship in my life.
In particular I’d like to
thank the creators of the internet, without whom this wedding could never have
taken place! And I would not have found our wonderful awesome suppliers. I love
you guys! You Rock!!!
I know most of you took time
off work and travelled a long way to be here and I want to say how much it
means to us to share our day with family and friends that love us. I know for
the majority of you it meant making huge efforts of rearranging your personal
lives as well as arranging travel and accommodation and we appreciate that more
then you realize.
Today I also gain another set
of family, when I met all of you I felt welcomed and accepted. I feel like I’ve
been a part of your family forever. I'm very lucky to have such great in-laws.
Nanay, Thank you for raising Rodel and rest assured I will look after him and
love him just as well.
I would like to thank my
aunts and uncles support and guidance throughout my life.
My cousins, for being my side
kicks.
My nephews and nieces for
making me look and feel like the coolest Tita in the planet.
A massive thank you to my
maid-of honor, Chiqui, my sister and Jason my brother in law thank
you for everything especially for giving us Theo and Jonah. I’ve never told you
this, together with Ninang Tita & Tito Alfonso, Tita Mileth & Tito
Willy, Tito Jojo & Tita Jane. You guys are my model for what marriage
should be; many years of laughter, tears, compromise, understanding,
dependability, and above all, love. From you both I learnt that marriage is
about forgiveness and patience, being together through the good times and never
giving up through the bad. I hope that what Rodel and I have is just as
special.
To Family! Cheers!
To my wonderful new husband, who has shown me what love
really is. Who is the reason for my happy days and the comfort in my sad ones.
Who cheers my successes and comforts me in my failures.
He is a person who can, just by looking at me,
make me laugh so hard and would tell me stories even if he had told it to me a
thousand times, just because he knows that I love listening to them… seriously!
It’s my bedtime story. Who puts up with my tantrums when I can’t find just the
right shoes, waits patiently when I can’t decide on what to wear, my crying
spells for no apparent reason, my snoring that is now his favourite lullaby and who provides chocolate when I am fed up;
because he knows that he should even if he doesn’t know why. I can only hope
that I provide the same support to him, I can definitely provide the chocolate…
To Rodel, the most patient man on the planet!
By the way just to warn you
all that this could be the start of an emotional bit, so if I start blubbing
please feel free to throw me a tissue.
We all know that they are a
number of people that we would have liked to be here with us today couldn't be
here for whatever reason. Also there are people who aren’t with today who are
greatly missed. Rodel’s Tatay, our Daddy Pablito Galang and Mommy Violeta
Galang who are all sadly no longer with us. I just wanted to say how much we
wish my they were here to enjoy this day as much as we have, to embarrass us
with stories best left forgotten, and impart some important piece of advice
that would be brief, simple and desperately relevant. We know that wherever
they are, they are looking down on us all and smiling. It's fallen to me to
propose a toast for them so, if you could all raise your glasses and join me
drinking to “absent friends and family".
Finally, I’d like to say a
huge thank you to each and every one of you for being with us today. Weddings
can happen at anywhere and at any time but it can only be true celebration when
all the people you love are there to share it with you, so you really have made
our day.it is a true celebration because all of you are here sharing it with
us. I would like to propose a toast to all of you as a thank you for being here…our
guests!”
So till my next adventure, remember Be courageous, kind and a blessing to everyone you meet.
