For
Sarah
&
Michael
Good
evening
,
everyone
!
For
those
of
you
who
don
’
t
know
me
,
I
’
m
Emily
,
and
I
have
the
incredible
honor
of
being
Sarah
’
s
Maid
of
Honor
.
Seeing
Sarah
and
Michael
up
here
tonight
,
radiating
such
happiness
,
is
truly
a
dream
come
true
.
I
’
ve
known
Sarah
for
over
fifteen
years
,
ever
since
we
bonded
over
terrible
teenage
fashion
choices
in
middle
school
.
From
awkward
phases
to
navigating
college
,
from
celebrating
career
wins
to
commiserating
over
relationship
woes
,
Sarah
has
been
my
constant
,
my
rock
,
and
my
partner
-
in
-
crime
.
Meeting
Michael
I
remember
when
Sarah
first
told
me
about
Michael
.
It
was
over
coffee
,
and
she
had
this
glow
about
her
that
I
hadn
'
t
seen
before
.
She
described
him
not
just
with
excitement
,
but
with
a
genuine
warmth
and
a
deep
sense
of
peace
.
She
spoke
about
his
kindness
,
his
sense
of
humor
that
could
always
make
her
laugh
,
and
the
way
he
looked
at
her
like
she
was
the
only
person
in
the
room
.
As
a
best
friend
,
my
first
thought
was
"
Is
he
good
enough
for
her
?"
But
as
I
got
to
know
Michael
,
it
became
clear
he
’
s
more
than
good
enough
–
he
’
s
perfect
for
her
.
Michael
,
you
complement
Sarah
in
all
the
best
ways
.
You
bring
out
her
adventurous
side
,
you
support
her
dreams
with
unwavering
belief
,
and
you
handle
her
terrible
singing
in
the
car
with
remarkable
grace
.
Seeing
the
way
you
two
support
each
other
,
challenge
each
other
,
and
love
each
other
so
purely
has
been
one
of
the
greatest
joys
of
my
life
.
A
Couple
'
s
Virtues
Sarah
and
Michael
,
your
love
story
is
one
that
inspires
us
all
.
It
’
s
built
on
a
foundation
of
mutual
respect
,
shared
laughter
,
and
a
deep
,
abiding
commitment
.
You
’
ve
navigated
life
’
s
ups
and
downs
together
,
always
emerging
stronger
and
more
in
love
.
You
’
ve
created
a
partnership
where
you
are
both
individuals
,
yet
inseparable
,
two
halves
of
a
beautiful
whole
.
I
’
ve
seen
firsthand
how
you
bring
out
the
best
in
each
other
,
how
you
lift
each
other
up
,
and
how
your
combined
light
shines
even
brighter
.

and

lucky
to
call
my

friend
,
and

so

into
her
life
