Better Late Than Never, and Better Than Ever

Hello, everyone. I'm [Your name]. I've been friends with [Groom's name] since school, and I've been looking forward to giving this speech for what feels like approximately seven years, though I'm told it was closer to two.

I had a whole bit planned about the postponement, but honestly, I think we've all heard enough about that.

What I'd rather talk about is what happened in the gap. Because while the rest of us were going slightly mad, [Groom's name] and [Bride's name] were building a life.

They moved house. They adopted a dog called Biscuit, who is objectively the best dog in the world.

They started running together in the mornings, which is frankly suspicious behaviour if you ask me, but they seemed to enjoy it.

The point is, the delay didn't stall them. If anything, it made them more solid. By the time the new date was set, they weren't just ready for a wedding.

They were ready for a marriage, and there's a difference.

So tonight, I want to say two things. First, [Bride's name] and [Groom's name], I'm incredibly proud to call you my friends. And second, this party was worth the wait, but not half as much as you two were worth waiting for.

Please raise your glasses.

To [Bride's name] and [Groom's name]. Finally. Cheers.
