Sentimental Wedding Speech from the Father of the Bride -- Wedding Toa

Sentimental Wedding Speech from the Father of the Bride This speech uses quotes that are skillfully woven into his more personal message, which is a good way of adding humor and providing the speaker with material that is neither offensive or dull. He also includes several jokes that are popular in wedding speeches, but has given his own twist on them to add originality Ladies and gentlemen, may I start my speech by welcoming the guests. Today, we are surrounded by most of the friends and family that have been important to us during our lives. Some have traveled thousands of miles, just to be here today. We welcome you all and thank you sincerely for sharing this special day with us. As about half of you will know, this is my second father of the bride speech. To misquote Oscar Wilde from 'The Importance of Being Ernest: â€Å"To lose one daughter may be considered unlucky. to lose two is careless!† Well. I guess that's O.K. because my being careless is how they came to be here in the first place. Making the father of the bride speech, I feel a bit like a Sheik walking into his harem for the first time. I know what I've got to do, I just don't know where to start. You will all be pleased to learn that my speech will be every bit as good as last time. In fact, my side of the family will probably remember great chunks of it. Not really, although I am following exactly the same format. This means it will probably start off badly, sag in the middle with long silences, and then trail off into a lot of incoherent rambling. To be honest, I did try to memorize this speech, but forgive me if I resort to my notes every five seconds. I asked for an autocue to be set up in front of me. Apparently, the wedding budget doesn't str... ...qually as long -and I haven't quite finished yet because my next toast is to the bride and groom. That reminds me of the wedding I once went to where the two of the guests were a minister and a priest. When the priest was offered a drink for the toast he said â€Å"I’l1 have a large whisky please." When the minister was offered the same, he said "No thanks. I'd rather go with a scarlet woman than touch the demon alcohol." The priest promptly put his whisky back on the tray and said â€Å"I didn't know there was a choice.† Now I don't want to offend anybody, so if theres a priest or a minister present, I apologize. And if there's a scarlet woman here, I’11 meet you in the bar in ten minutes. Thank you for your indulgence. Without further delay I'l1 ask you to join me in a toast to my beautiful daughter, the bride, and her handsome husband, the groom. The bride and groom.

Mallory Cox Period 3 Composition 2 Local Proposal Project Abstract Liking county is dramatically affected by losses of lives due to things such as impaired driving. Ohio alone experiences 7,034 traffic deaths in one year due to impaired driving. Not all of the time the fatalities are just the impaired driver of the motor vehicles. A lot of the time the fatalities are of the people the impaired drivers hit while driving or the passengers of their vehicles. Together in Licking County we can work together to lower these statistics and rates. This organization could be the key to saving the lives of our family members, friends, and school-mates.

This is an estimate and as you can imagine not every person that drives while under the influence is going to admit to it, because i t is against the law and they fear consequences. This problem does have an underlying solution that needs to be found and used to help the younger generations, adults, and any person affected by alcoholism in Licking County. The communities, families, friends, schools, sports teams and many more are affected by alcoholism daily because people make the decision to drive under the influence. There is a very well known program called LAPP. This is a program organized to help recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. There are several hundreds of people that attend LAPP after getting in trouble with the law or after being reported by a family member or someone they know that cares about them enough to recommend getting help.Little do people that that programs such as LAPP are a lot of the time uneffective because you cannot get a person to quit doing something that they simply do not want to quit doing. There has to be a reason or an incentive for most people that will give them a reason to give up the drinking that has lead to alcoholism. LAPP is unsuccessful because there are several people that attend
