My wedding speech

Hey all
i was going to post this in my blog, as there is a few things in the speech that is very personal, but some people might not see it in my blog so i thought i would post this in here as i want as many peoples opinions as i can as this is very important to me.

now if you have the song "how do i live without you- by trisha yearwood" can you have that playing softly in the background lol ( not asking much am i lol) as this is the song that i have choosen to play while i say my speech to my gorgeous husband :) if you have the song but with someone else singing it, play that instead as i think the music helps make the speech :) and if you dont have the song then bugger lol not to worry

now nathan has no idea i am even getting up to say a speech so he will be very shocked lol i just want your opinion on my speech, as its not your everyday speech and some of the stuff as you will read is very private, but i feel that it needs to be told so these peope wil have an understanding of just how gorgeous and loving he really is, cos nathan is your typical bloke, he is a rock and shows no emtions around people, most of our guests are in shock that he is getting married lol cos he didnt seem to be the type to get married lol yeah thats until he met me :p

ok so pease dont mind the spelling mistakes and stuff as this is just a rough copy. oh and if you dont like it please dont tell me that lol i will cry

MY WEDDING SPEECH

the saying “opposites attract ” really is summing nathan and i up! nathan loves big cities and fast cars, i love small country towns and kingcabs. nathan loves 50 cent and eminem, i love johnny cash and randy travis!

but there is one thing that we have in common and thats the heart pounding, sweaty palms, cant live without each other kind of love that we have for each other! i truly feel blessed to have you in my life, i love being loved by you, its the little things that mean so much, like the messages you leave on the bathroom mirror,

most of the time the messages are telling me what gun he likes or what size bullet he wants but strangley enough i think thats sweet! or when you make me breakfast in the mornings, there is a bite taken out of the toast EVERY single time. i also love how if we are standing around talking to people and you run your hand up and down my back, its just with that touch that it draws my attention away from the conversation we might be having and it can take my breath away, i can feel it in your touch just how much you love me!

i cant wait to live a life time with you, i want to make all your dreams come true, i want to give you the strength and courage on the days that you feel weak. i want to be right by your side holding your hand through lifes ups and downs. i will give you my everything to make you happy and i want to make a million memories with you.

now with all this being said. i want to really tell you what a wonderful man i have just married! this is probably not suppose to be in your normal everyday wedding speech, but i want to tell you anyway.

this man's love is amazing, he has given me strength to go on, in times when i thought i couldnt. exspecially with ivf, every single blood test, every single scan, every single doctors appointment. he was always there. he would never miss one. and every time it failed he was there to pick me up and say “ we are in this together” we will just go again! even when we didnt have a cent to our name.

but it was the day we found out our little bubba g was gone, we came home and i went for a shower cos the pain was so bad, i sat on the floor in the shower crying and rocking in pain and all of a sudden i feel these big warm arms wrap around me and i look up and there is nathan fully clothed sitting in the shower with me, holding and rocking with me until i couldnt cry any more, he spoke to me without saying a word.

it was also at the hospital when they were wheeling me into theatre to remove our gorgeouse little baby, you wouldnt leave my side! you never let go of my hand. you even walked into the operating room cos you didnt want me to be on my own, cos like you said “we were in this together” and the second i came out of theatre you were right there, holding my hand again. you might not ever get a baby of your own, but you have been there helping me raise charlie since she was little, so to charlie and i you are already a dad. and a good one at that!

now i know this hasnt been your everday speech, but i just really wanted to share what an amazing person nathan really is. i really have married a wonderful man. nathan i know i have told you this before ,that you are my patrick swayze, but tonight i can honestly say patrick swayze has nothing to compared to you! and honey , we arent in this together, we are now in this for life. thank you for choose me


ok what do you think???? i am so nervous lol

OMG hun!! YOu have me in tears!!!
It's BEAUTIFUL!!! Your DF sounds like a beautiful and amazing person. I wish all both all the absolute best as you begin this new adventure. :hug: xx

So sweet you have me in tears!!! Good luck getting thru it without blubbering!!!!

oh really??? i am so happy you like it, i was a little worried that i might of been over stepping the mark with some of the stuff i put in there, but i really love it and its something that no one else would of ever know about him, cos these are things that happen behind closed doors and is never spoken about IYKWIM?

ohhhhh i am so excited, now i just to get through it without crying like a blabbering mess lol

Im crying too!!! Beautiful...do you want to write a speech for me! LOL! I love it, and im sure he will love it to!!!!!! IDont worry about crying through it....as long as the words are audiable it will be fine! :)

awwwww thanks girls xxx i am so happy you all like it :)

OMG i got as far as the first paragragh and i already and tears & snot :lol:

... and i can't tell you how wrapt i was to hear Patrick got a mention :dance:

if i can could i say one tiny itty bitty little thing (just don't read any further here if you don't want to hear it) ... this is a little of my own experience when i gave a long speech at my 40th birthday when i was 25weeks pregnant with DD ... just as you did i was honest and quite brave to say i guess to most people but it came easy to me as i like you am not one to hide things and that's something i have learned in life we don't fully open ourselves up and just say things as they are ... far too many people i think see it as a weakness when you speak with a strong depth of emotion BUT i have been a huge crusader to change that around ... and those at my 40th birthday party knew that's how i am so it wasn't a huge surprise, infact after my speech (just as it will for YOU) you will have people look at her with admiration as they will see it as being quite courgeous ....put it this way my FIL whom clearly doesn't like me for i have until this day NO idea why ... he after my party drove his wife (my lovely MIL) and her Mum home and word got back to me that he said in their long drive home " You know what after tonight i have a lot of respect for Lorelle " ... :o (what a shock was that for me to hear about later)

Now getting to my point when i was about 3/4 through my speech i noticed how the atmosphere slowly became quite sad is the only way i can put ... so many sad looking faces listening to my life journey until turning 40 which many didn't know the whole story and i thought OMG this is mean't to be a night for everyone to get on and have a great time ... so after my spilling all these wonderful things and very heartbreaking things in my speech (and also mentioning all those that were there for me every step of the way) it was clearly time to save all these sad faces & tears and i broke out into some slight humor right at the END of my speech, nothing over the top as i didn't want my speech to be quickly forgotten to which everyone had a giggle and all the SMILES were back on everyone's faces.

So hope i have got my little message across ... i guess what i want to say is your speech is just heartwarming & incredibly beautiful ... don't hold back on a thing you want to say with everyone present as this special event your Wedding it may then likely be your only chance in life to say it ALL for ALL to hear ... and my only little tad of you know what i'm going to say lol is maybe put even just the smallest bit of anything at the end of your speech to get every back in the mood with smiles to move on and celebrate the special day.

Oh boy i hope that alright came out right and not offensive in the slightest way or i think i will cry then go kick myself in the butt :hide:

Hope that was OK for me to say !!

(P.S - my best friend of 20years has a DD named Chloe she turned 9 on Fri, a real cutie she is :hug:)

thank you so much smiles4u, i really appreciate your honesty xx and on offence (sp?) taken hun :)

ok so now i have to try and think of something funny to add to the bottom lol mmmmmmmmmm what can i add ( scratches head) heheheh i am sure i will come up with something. once i have added something i will repost the speech to see what you think?

thanks again xx

another blubbering mess here!!!

And if we are anything to go by - than there won't be a dry eye in the house when you give that beautiful, heart felt wedding speech!

Its Perfect! :hug:

thank u so much hj1981 it really means alot that my bb girls love my speech xxx

thank you so much smiles4u, i really appreciate your honesty xx and on offence (sp?) taken hun :)

OMG i can't tell you i am soooo relieved, so didn't want to upset or offend you in the slightest as that would have broken my own heart ... i know i took a huge chance in bringing it up but i want you to be TOTALLY happy on such a magical & extra special day :heartbeat::heartbeat:

my only thought was a little humour with Patrick Swayze included (like a little honour to someone who you admired i guess, and if anyone that knows you well enough that you like Patrick like we do here in BB-land will prob think it's fitting ... or add a little humour that's about you & your DH together (so his not the butt of the joke IYKWIM). I reckon you will come up with something easy as if your speech is anything to go by you know how to find the right words :D

All the heartfelt best, so exciting not many days now ... Whoo hoo :dance:

smiles, what if i add something like this to finish it off

Now my darling husband, here are a few tips from patrick that might help you out in the future
feel free to dirty dance with me ANYTIME you want, feel free to be my bouncer like on road house, we can always do some pottery mmmmmmmm yeah definantly pottery lol but please dont start wearing womans cloths like he did in to wong foo!!!

what do you think smiles about that?? i will put it between these to paragraphs

it was also at the hospital when they were wheeling me into theatre to remove our gorgeouse little baby, you wouldnt leave my side! you never let go of my hand. you even walked into the operating room cos you didnt want me to be on my own, cos like you said “we were in this together” and the second i came out of theatre you were right there, holding my hand again. you might not ever get a baby of your own, but you have been there helping me raise charlie since she was little, so to charlie and i you are already a dad. and a good one at that!

now i know this hasnt been your everday speech, but i just really wanted to share what an amazing person nathan really is. i really have married a wonderful man. nathan i know i have told you this before ,that you are my patrick swayze, but tonight i can honestly say patrick swayze has nothing to compared to you! and honey , we arent in this together, we are now in this for life. thank you for choose me

Your husband to be sounds like a really top bloke, seriously.

What a gorgeous speech ! :clap:

Yep, i am in tears - i can imagine the moment - dont think there will be a dry eye.

You are a very lucky lady :hug:

xoxoxo

How moving and gorgeous!!!!

Do your guests a favour - put a box of tissues on each table. And a big red hanky for your gorgeous DH.

xoxo

WOW!! thank you so much everyone :) it means so much to me that you have come in here and read my speech.

slyder he really is a top bloke, and i feel so lucky and blessed that he has chosen me and charlie to love forever :)

thanks again everyone xxx

Another blubbering mess here - and I'm honestly not a teary person! Your speech is perfect - you can hear the love the two of you have in every sentence. It's not soppy, it made me laugh and cry at the same time. I love the added funny ending... don't change a thing!

Yep another blubbering mess here too! i was crying the second i started reading it. You can really feel the love you feel for him in your words, he sounds like an amazing man and you are so lucky to have such a supportive loving person like him in your life. And its always the smallest things they do that make you feel so loved, make your heart beat faster and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Thank you for sharing :)

What a beautiful speach. I was in tears to at the obvious love you have for each other.

:crying:

Awesome, perfect, congratulations your impending marraige to such a wonderful man, I think he sounds wonderful!

That is an amazing speech :hug:

Thank you so much everyone xxx

it means so much to me that you have taken the time to read my speech and make comments

thanks again everyone

... my sister's Wedding day was rain all day and it didn't make a darn difference as everyone had an such an AWESOME day that we ALL have still been talking about it now almost 20years later :dance:

so there you go the rain didn't matter not one bit, everyone has remembered the Wedding & reception and not a thing about the rain as the details of the Wedding over rode any memories of the weather ;)

....... ***** Just for starters your beautiful speech just on it's own will be talked about for decades to come :D

A beautiful speech, with tears here too! A speech from the heart is always wonderful to read/hear. I'm sure your husband will love it and your guests will appreciate the insight you can give them into your wonderful relationship.

All the best for a wonderful wedding!

Hey :) i am back as a married woman :dance:

just wanted to say thank you all so much for taking the time to read my speech, it really means alot

My speech was a HIT!!! my husband was in tears and was absolutley speechless. He is still talking about it now and its been nearly 2 wks. We had the whole thing video taped and i watched it the other day and he was struggleing to hold the tears back then too. he really really loved it.

all of our guests came up during the night after the speech was made and they all commented on it saying how much they loved it and there wasn't a dry eye in the room, between them laughing and crying it was awesome.

i was having doubt about doing it, but i am so so so very happy i did

thanks again

Glad it all went well!!

Well done on reading your amazing speech. I was a blubbering mess reading that. Did you manage to get through it without crying yourself?

lol i did have a bit of a moment lol

i was half way through the speech and i looked up and made eye contact with nathan and that was it ....... i started to cry and he was about to get up to come over to me and i looked up and him and said its ok i have to finish, i stepped away from the mic for a sec, gathered my self and went on with the speech. i am so happy i actually done it, i didnt think i could do it but i did and it really was an eye opener for some people. god i love him so much :)
