Your own hopes for their marriage

Paul and Linda, you deserve one another and I know you'll make a great life together. You're among people today who care about you very much and wish you all the happiness in the world. I don't know what your future holds exactly, and I know that twenty years from now, many things will have happened that we can't predict today. But whatever happens, and wherever you go, I know you'll have each other's love, and you'll also have ours. We'll always be ready to help and ready to share your joys with you when they come. So with that in mind, and on behalf of everyone here, I want to make you this wish: 'May your love be modern enough to survive the times and old-fashioned enough to last forever.'

We are guests at an occasion that is certainly all that a wedding should be. All those who love them and who wish them well surround Linda and Paul. They are a wonderful couple and I hope they will be wonderfully happy. I wish them all that they wish themselves in life.
