They're both musicians (she plays the violin, he plays the cello) and described their relationship as a symphony. Everyone said they loved it. Thank you for this video, it gave me a good idea of what to do/not to do!

    Here's a few ideas for making a great speech: Allow plenty time. Begin writing. Write anything - it's better than empty paper! Ask for help from friends. You don't need to do it by yourself Use done for you speech templates. Practise with severl people and ask for tips and advice. (I discovered about these and more on Blayze speech plan site )

    Avoid any "inside jokes" that the general crowd wouldn't understand. Stories of him talking about his new spouse are always good...like how he knew they were the one. Stuff like that is always sweet. Funny stories about him getting into a *little* bit of trouble but not too embarrassing (just the right amount) can always make a crowd laugh.
