Maid of Honor Speech
Good
evening
everyone
!
For
those
of
you
who
don
’
t
know
me
,
I
’
m
Emily
,
Chloe
’
s
best
friend
since
we
were
old
enough
to
trade
crayons
.
Seeing
Chloe
and
Oliver
here
today
,
so
happy
and
so
in
love
,
is
truly
a
dream
come
true
.
Chloe
and
I
met
in
Mrs
.
Gable
'
s
first
-
grade
class
.
I
remember
being
utterly
terrified
of
the
new
school
,
but
Chloe
,
with
her
bright
smile
and
a
shared
love
for
drawing
unicorns
,
immediately
put
me
at
ease
.
We
spent
our
childhood
inseparable
–
building
elaborate
forts
in
her
backyard
that
we
were
convinced
were
impenetrable
castles
,
spending
hours
on
the
phone
planning
imaginary
adventures
,
and
navigating
the
tricky
waters
of
adolescence
together
.
She
was
always
the
one
with
the
infectious
laugh
,
the
one
who
could
find
humor
in
any
situation
,
even
when
my
braces
broke
on
the
first
day
of
sophomore
year
.
From
sleepovers
where
we
’
d
stay
up
all
night
dissecting
every
minor
social
drama
,
to
supporting
each
other
through
college
applications
and
first
heartbreaks
,
Chloe
has
been
my
constant
.
She
’
s
seen
me
at
my
worst
and
celebrated
my
best
.
She
has
this
incredible
ability
to
make
everyone
feel
seen
and
valued
.
Whether
it
was
a
silly
inside
joke
only
we
understood
or
a
serious
moment
of
needing
advice
,
Chloe
was
always
there
,
a
steady
,
shining
presence
.
I
’
ve
always
admired
Chloe
'
s
kindness
and
her
fierce
loyalty
.
She
has
a
way
of
making
you
feel
like
the
most
important
person
in
the
room
.
I
remember
one
time
in
high
school
,
I
was
struggling
with
a
chemistry
project
and
completely
overwhelmed
.
Chloe
,
who
had
already
finished
hers
,
sat
with
me
for
hours
,
not
just
helping
me
understand
the
equations
,
but
making
it
fun
with
ridiculous
analogies
involving
superheroes
and
pizza
.
That
’
s
just
who
she
is
–
always
generous
with
her
time
,
her
energy
,
and
her
heart
.
Then
came
Oliver
.
I
remember
Chloe
telling
me
about
him
for
the
first
time
.
She
had
that
certain
sparkle
in
her
eye
,
that
little
extra
bounce
in
her
step
.
She
described
his
kindness
,
his
sense
of
humor
,
and
how
he
made
her
feel
–
completely
herself
,
and
even
better
.
Seeing
them
together
,
it
was
clear
they
had
found
something
incredibly
special
.
Oliver
,
you
bring
out
such
a
wonderful
light
in
Chloe
.
Your
shared
adventures
,
your
quiet
understanding
,
and
the
way
you
look
at
her
…
it
’
s
truly
beautiful
to
witness
.
You
complement
each
other
perfectly
,
like
two
pieces
of
a
puzzle
that
were
always
meant
to
fit
.
1 / 2
Oliver
and
Chloe
,
your
journey
together
is
just
beginning
,
and
it
’
s
already
an
inspiring
one
.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
be
a
part
of
your
lives
,
and
thank
you
for
showing
us
all
what
true
partnership
looks
like
.
May
your
life
together
be
filled
with
as
much
laughter
as
our
childhood
sleepovers
,
as
much
adventure
as
we
used
to
dream
up
,
and
an
endless
supply
of
love
.
Please
join
me
in
raising
a
glass
!
To Oliver and Chloe!
