Hello everyone. I'm [Your name], and [Groom's name] and I work together, which is a polite way of saying we spend most of our days sending each other passive-aggressive emails and sneaking out for coffee when our manager isn't looking.

I want to set the scene for how our friendship began. It was [Groom's name]'s first week at the company. He walked into the kitchen, saw me struggling with the coffee machine, and said, "That's not how you do it." He then proceeded to also fail at the coffee machine. We went to the cafe down the road. A bond was forged.

Over the years, [Groom's name] has become more than a colleague. He's the person I complain to about meetings that could have been emails. He's my lunch buddy, my "should I send this email or will I get fired" advisor, and the only person who understands the specific pain of a Friday afternoon all-hands meeting.

But what amazed me was watching him fall in love. Suddenly, the man who'd never leave the office before six was sprinting out the door at five. The man who packed the same sad sandwich every day started bringing leftovers from dinners [Bride's name] had cooked. The man who never smiled at his phone was grinning like an idiot at his texts.

[Bride's name], you've done what no amount of corporate wellness programs could achieve. You've made him genuinely happy.

To [Groom's name] and [Bride's name], the best out-of-office partnership I've ever seen. Cheers!
