Hi everyone. I promised myself I wouldn't cry during this speech, so if I do, please pretend it's allergies.
Thank you all for being here. Eighteen months of planning, four hundred emails and one very patient groom later, we made it.
Before anything else, I want to thank my parents, who taught me what a good marriage looks like long before I knew I was paying attention.
