The short answer
Funny wedding vows example
I want to thank the couple for the open bar, without which this speech would be considerably more nervous and considerably less confident.
People ask when I knew. The truth is undramatic: it was a Tuesday, nothing special, and I looked over at Jordan and thought, oh — there you are. I'd like every ordinary Tuesday from here to be with you.
Now, believe it or not, that disaster actually brings me to something lovely.
Jordan told me love was about finding someone you can be yourself around. Jordan, we are all so sorry.
What strikes me most about Jordan and Jordan is how much more themselves they each became once they found each other.
Here's to Jordan and Jordan — may you never go to bed angry, mostly because you'll be too busy staying up to finish the leftover cake. Cheers.
Heartfelt wedding vows example
Standing up here, I keep thinking about how far Jordan has come to arrive at this exact, perfect moment.
I'm not going to promise you a perfect life, Jordan. I'm going to promise you me — all in, paying attention, choosing you on the good days and especially on the hard ones.
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 Jordan and Jordan have it.
To Jordan and Jordan — thank you for showing the rest of us what it looks like when two people get it right. Cheers.
Funny & heartfelt wedding vows example
Today isn't just about celebrating Jordan and Jordan; it's about all of us pretending we knew they were perfect for each other the whole time.
Jordan, before I met you I thought I had life mostly figured out. You gently showed me I didn't, and then made everything better than I'd planned.
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 Jordan.
Here's to a couple who make the rest of us look bad and somehow still get invited back. To Jordan and Jordan.
