Okay so this is my speech does it flow okay? Is there too much, too little? All opinions would be great, thanks x
Hello all,
Firstly I’d like to thank you all for being here today- a few of you knew I’d be saying a few words and yet you still turned up- I really appreciate that you did!!
I’m standing here feeling like a very lucky lady today and not necessarily because I’ve just married Dan, more so as I have found this wedding to have separated the boys from the men so to speak in terms of loyalties and friendships. So today I feel as though everyone in this room does wish us true happiness and isn’t here for any different agenda, which obviously makes me glad. One bond that has deepened above all else is the bond between me and Beth and that is one of my most favourite things of all. So thank you Beth you have been a brilliant bridesmaid and a truly supportive sister. Who knew eh!!
Now you all heard my personal vows to Dan not the most gushy were they, but I’m going to surprise him now by saying something very touching that I’ll never forget, it was my 29th Birthday and me and Dan had arranged to go to Alton Towers for the day so had to be up quite early, so he got up with both Joseph and Ella and came into our bedroom carrying them both in his arms, the sun was shining in through the window and that is when I knew that there would never be any other man for me, as I realised then that all I needed to be happy was just standing in the doorway, our little family. Yes we have been through our highs and lows- hence why it’s taken us six years to tie the knot, but know now that I do love him, for many reasons - I could go into them, but we haven’t provided sick buckets.
I would also like to thank my mum and Dave, for all the support that they have given us and continue to give us, and also for showing me what a supportive happy marriage can look like. Thank you.
Now unfortunately there is one very special person missing from today’s events and him being missing was pretty much the reason why I decided I wanted to say a few words today and that is my Dad. He I am sure is proudly looking down from above today as he always thought Dan was a good lad. So I would like us to have a toast now for my Dad (Mike)
Thank you

It's perfect. And I also think it's a great length as it is rather emotional you may be a bit of wreck if it was much longer. I found it emotional just reading never mind standing up in front of those I love and saying it! So well done, you hit the nail on the head, so to speak :)
