Mother Of The Bride Speech examples

I want to thank the couple for the open bar, without which this speech would be considerably more nervous and considerably less confident.

Watching Alex grow up has been the great privilege of my life. From tiny hands around my finger to standing here today beside Jordan, somehow both the slowest and the fastest years imaginable.

Now, believe it or not, that disaster actually brings me to something lovely.

Alex told me love was about finding someone you can be yourself around. Jordan, we are all so sorry.

What strikes me most about Alex and Jordan is how much more themselves they each became once they found each other.

And then Jordan came along. I've never seen Alex happier or more themselves — steadier, softer, quicker to laugh. Jordan, you are so obviously the one.

Here's to Alex and Jordan: may all your ups and downs be in the bedroom, and may Alex finally learn to load the dishwasher properly. Cheers.

I could tell you a hundred things about Alex, but the truest is this: they love completely, and today we get to celebrate that.

Watching Alex grow up has been the great privilege of my life. From tiny hands around my finger to standing here today beside Jordan, somehow both the slowest and the fastest years imaginable.

It's easy to laugh at the memories — but somewhere in them is the reason we're all here today.

There's a particular kind of luck in finding the person who feels like coming home, and Alex and Jordan have it.

And then Jordan came along. I've never seen Alex happier or more themselves — steadier, softer, quicker to laugh. Jordan, you are so obviously the one.

Whatever comes, I know you'll face it together, and that's the best wish I have. Please raise your glasses to Alex and Jordan.

I've got two jobs today: to embarrass Alex just enough, and to remind everyone why we're all a bit in love with them anyway.

I still remember Alex at about five, absolutely certain and completely wrong about everything, and utterly determined to do it all alone. Some things haven't changed — and thank goodness for that.

Now, I could keep going with the stories — but I'd rather tell you what they add up to.

Marriage is a wonderful institution — but then, who wants to live in an institution? Best of luck to you both.

Love, at its best, is simply paying close attention to one person for the rest of your life — and no one deserves that attention more than Alex.

And then Jordan came along. I've never seen Alex happier or more themselves — steadier, softer, quicker to laugh. Jordan, you are so obviously the one.

Raise your glasses to a couple who prove that finding your person is worth the wait. To Alex and Jordan.
