Maid of Honor Speech
1 / 3
Good
evening
,
everyone
!
For
those
of
you
who
don
'
t
know
me
,
I
’
m
Emily
,
and
I
’
ve
had
the
incredible
privilege
of
being
Sarah
’
s
best
friend
since
kindergarten
.
When
Sarah
asked
me
to
be
her
Maid
of
Honor
,
I
was
so
honored
and
,
honestly
,
a
little
terrified
.
Sarah
has
this
amazing
ability
to
shine
in
everything
she
does
,
and
I
knew
standing
up
here
today
would
be
a
big
moment
–
but
looking
out
at
all
of
you
,
and
seeing
Sarah
and
David
beaming
,
it
feels
absolutely
perfect
.
Sarah
and
I
have
been
through
it
all
.
We
navigated
scraped
knees
,
questionable
fashion
choices
in
middle
school
(
those
neon
scrunchies
,
anyone
?),
surviving
high
school
biology
,
and
countless
sleepovers
filled
with
terrible
rom
-
coms
and
even
worse
singing
.
Sarah
has
always
been
the
steady
,
kind
,
and
incredibly
loyal
friend
.
She
’
s
the
person
you
call
when
you
need
honest
advice
,
a
shoulder
to
cry
on
,
or
just
someone
to
laugh
with
until
you
can
’
t
breathe
.
Her
heart
is
so
big
,
and
she
has
a
unique
way
of
making
everyone
around
her
feel
seen
and
cherished
.
I
’
ve
always
admired
her
strength
,
her
sense
of
humor
,
and
her
absolute
refusal
to
give
up
on
anything
she
sets
her
mind
to
–
qualities
that
I
know
she
brings
to
every
aspect
of
her
life
,
especially
her
relationship
with
David
.
And
then
came
David
.
I
remember
when
Sarah
first
told
me
about
him
.
She
had
this
sparkle
in
her
eye
that
I
hadn
'
t
seen
before
,
and
her
stories
were
always
filled
with
laughter
and
genuine
admiration
.
David
,
from
the
moment
I
met
you
,
I
could
see
why
.
You
have
this
incredible
warmth
,
a
fantastic
sense
of
humor
that
perfectly
complements
Sarah
’
s
,
and
a
way
of
looking
at
her
that
makes
it
clear
she
’
s
the
most
important
person
in
the
room
.
You
complement
her
so
beautifully
,
supporting
her
dreams
and
celebrating
her
successes
,
while
also
being
her
rock
during
any
challenges
.
It
’
s
rare
to
find
someone
who
fits
so
perfectly
into
your
life
,
and
it
was
so
clear
from
early
on
that
you
two
were
meant
to
be
.
Watching
Sarah
and
David
fall
in
love
has
been
one
of
the
most
beautiful
things
.
They
share
a
deep
respect
,
an
easy
comfort
,
and
a
joy
that
is
infectious
.
Whether
they
’
re
embarking
on
an
adventurous
hike
,
trying
out
a
new
recipe
in
the
kitchen
,
or
simply
enjoying
a
quiet
night
in
,
their
connection
is
palpable
.
They
bring
out
the
best
in
each
other
,
pushing
each
other
to
grow
while
always
making
sure
the
other
feels
loved
and
supported
.
David
,
you
make
Sarah
happier
than
I
’
ve
ever
seen
her
,
and
Sarah
,
you
bring
out
David
’
s
most
adventurous
and
playful
side
.
It
’
s
a
partnership
built
on
love
,
trust
,
and
a
whole
lot
of
fun
.
As
they
start
this
new
chapter
,
I
have
no
doubt
that
their
life
together
will
be
filled
with
endless
laughter
,
incredible
adventures
,
and
a
love
that
continues
to
deepen
with
each
passing
year
.
They
have
already
built
such
a
strong
foundation
,
and
I
’
m
so
excited
to
see
all
the
amazing
things
they
will
accomplish
together
.

raising
a
glass
to
Sarah
and
David

Sarah
,
my
dearest
friend
,
I
am
so
incredibly
happy
for
you
.

to
David

the
family

it
feels
like
you
’
ve
always
been
a
part
of
it
.
To
a
lifetime
of
love
,
happiness
,

endless
