Maid of Honor Speech
For
Ethan
Anderson
&
Olivia
Bennett
Good
evening
,
everyone
!
For
those
of
you
who
don
’
t
know
me
,
my
name
is
Sarah
Chen
,
and
I
have
the
incredible
honor
of
being
Olivia
’
s
Maid
of
Honor
,
and
more
importantly
,
her
best
friend
.
Ethan
,
Olivia
,
standing
up
here
today
,
looking
out
at
all
of
you
who
have
come
to
celebrate
this
beautiful
union
,
I
’
m
filled
with
so
much
joy
.
And
a
little
bit
of
relief
that
we
all
made
it
here
without
any
major
runaway
bridesmaids
or
forgotten
rings
!
Olivia
and
I
met
during
our
freshman
year
orientation
week
at
university
.
I
remember
seeing
her
across
the
quad
,
with
that
big
smile
and
an
even
bigger
sense
of
adventure
,
and
I
just
knew
we
were
going
to
be
friends
.
Little
did
I
know
,
she
was
destined
to
become
my
partner
-
in
-
crime
,
my
confidante
,
my
sister
by
choice
,
and
now
,
the
other
half
of
a
truly
wonderful
couple
.
Ethan
,
from
the
moment
Olivia
first
told
me
about
you
,
I
knew
you
were
special
.
She
described
you
not
just
with
glowing
words
,
but
with
a
certain
spark
in
her
eyes
that
I
hadn
'
t
seen
before
.
When
I
finally
met
you
,
it
was
clear
why
.
Your
kindness
,
your
easy
laughter
,
and
the
way
you
look
at
Olivia
–
it
’
s
clear
to
everyone
that
you
two
are
meant
to
be
.
You
complement
each
other
perfectly
.
Olivia
,
you
bring
the
sparkle
,
the
passion
,
and
the
sheer
determination
to
everything
you
do
.
And
Ethan
,
you
bring
such
a
steady
,
grounding
presence
,
a
thoughtful
perspective
,
and
a
quiet
strength
that
I
know
will
be
the
bedrock
of
your
life
together
.
You
bring
out
the
best
in
each
other
,
and
that
’
s
the
greatest
gift
a
partnership
can
offer
.
I
’
ve
witnessed
their
relationship
grow
from
those
early
days
of
tentative
dates
and
late
-
night
phone
calls
to
this
beautiful
moment
today
.
I
’
ve
seen
them
navigate
challenges
with
grace
and
celebrate
triumphs
with
infectious
enthusiasm
.
They
’
ve
built
a
relationship
founded
on
deep
respect
,
unwavering
support
,
and
a
shared
sense
of
humor
that
can
get
them
through
anything
–
usually
involving
Olivia
making
a
terrible
pun
that
Ethan
then
has
to
pretend
to
find
hilarious
.
So
,
let
’
s
raise
our
glasses
.
To
Ethan
and
Olivia
!
May
your
life
together
be
filled
with
endless
love
,
unwavering
support
,
abundant
laughter
,
and
a
lifetime
of
shared
adventures
.
May
you
continue
to
inspire
each
other
,
challenge
each
other
,
and
cherish
each
other
,
every
single
day
.
To
Ethan
and
Olivia
!
