It went something like this:

Before beginning, I’d like to take a moment to wish you both happy one and a half hour anniversary. Congratulations! You’ve made it!

Dave and I have known each other for a long time and he’s one of the most caring, sensitive friends I have. He’s been there for me through the good times and bad. He stood beside me at my wedding and now I’m greatly honored to be standing by him here.

When Darla and I lost our son a couple years ago, Dave dropped everything at a moment’s notice and flew back to Arizona just to “be there” for us. He didn’t ask if we needed him there. He knew we did and he wanted to do all he could for us.

Darla and I had the great opportunity to be present when Dave proposed to Sunny. When Sunny said “yes” and embraced Dave, there were fireworks. No, there were literal fireworks. Dave proposed to Sunny on the 4th of July, just as the fireworks show was about to begin.

Dave, I can’t tell you how much you mean to Darla and myself. And besides that, you have a beautiful bride who loves you deeply. Sunny, you are very lucky to have such a sweet and caring husband.

Please join me in raising your glasses.

It’s said that a successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Sunny and Dave, here’s to a lifetime of falling in love.
