Wedding Speech From a Big Sister

So I started thinking and thinking…and thinking…about what to talk about and the only thing I could think about was how much we fought growing up! I mean, we had to share a room for like 12 years, our mom dressed us in the same clothes every chance she got until we were old enough to say no. We had to share toys, I always got her hand me downs. I was forced to follow every rule Mom and Dad made because she had to follow them. I always thought I was the cuter one because I had curly hair and she was slightly overweight because she loved her Little Debbie snack cakes!! …Now look at us, it’s almost opposite! And I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything. To this day, Megan is the only person I know that can me laugh so hard it hurts. And I can honestly say I wouldn’t be half of the person I am today if I didn’t have a big sister like her to look up to and I’m proud to call you my big sister.

Wedding Speech from a Friend

Since that first day we met roughly five years ago, I don’t think a single major life event has happened that we didn’t share with each other. Sure, we’ve had to keep a few secrets from each other, but it was never long until we were allowed to spills the beans to each other. Do you realize how hard it is to not tell your best friend that her boyfriend would soon be proposing? Chelsea has been my partner in crime, and the keeper of all my embarrassing secrets…which actually aren’t that secretive because she loves telling those stories whenever she gets a chance.

Wedding Speech from a Cousin Sister

Growing up together there were six of us cousins very close in age and Lisa and I were the only girls, so of course we had to stick together. Even if we did fight like sisters half the time over very important issues like who got the most Halloween candy and who got to be the pink power ranger. Not only did we fight like sisters, but we most importantly loved like them. We’ve laughed, cried, laughed until we cried and know more about each other than we probably care to. We’ve been through some of the hardest times of our lives together and have been grateful to have each other through some of the best. I’ve had the opportunity to watch Lisa mature, grow and evolve into the beautiful woman that sits before us today and I am honoured not only to call Lisa my cousin, but to call her my best friend. She is driven, intelligent, kind hearted and the most selfless woman you will ever meet. She puts forth thought, effort and dedication into everything she does, and I know Lisa will approach her new role as a wife the same exact way.  You are one lucky man Ty. Thank you for making Lisa so incredibly happy. It is with great comfort knowing she has a man who’s caring, loving, spontaneous and supportive by her side.  I’ll leave you two with a little advice. Love isn’t perfect. It isn’t a fairy-tale or a storybook and it doesn’t always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. I hope you can both look back on today as the moment you loved each other the least. I love you both so much. Welcome to the family Ty.

Wedding Speech from a Twin Sister

As Kristy’s twin sister, I’ve had the opportunity to watch her grow and evolve into the wonderful woman she is today. When I look back on our childhood adventures, there were so many fond memories. When we were 5 years-old, and had just learned how to scratch matches, we were eager to practice our new skill. And there was nothing more satisfying than seeing the flame erupt from the match, and then watch it burn things into ashes. So what should we burn? Kristy, using her superb Communication and Negotiation skill, persuaded the Boy next door to grab his parents’ books, bring them over, and page by page, we burnt them all! Since then, Kristy and I were banned from his house. So Chris, be aware that your girl likes kindling the fire, and make sure you can handle it! Aside from loving to kindle the fire, Kristy is also kind and caring. In addition, she puts thoughts, effort, and dedication into everything she does. Chris, I know Kristy will embrace her new role as your wife in the same way, and infuse the marriage with love, respect, and trust.  Since meeting Chris last year, Kristy’s life has been truly transformed from Good to Great. Chris has this amazing ability to balance work and life, and this allowed for frequent fun times, which soon led to romance.

Wedding Speech from a Younger Sister

I am honored to stand here today and congratulate my sister on her beautiful wedding. Amy, I love you so much and I am so proud to be your sister. I am so happy that you have found the love of your life in Brad. Your wedding is everything I know you dreamed it would be, and I only hope when I get married someday that I can do it with as much class and elegance as you have. Since we were little girls, we’ve shared everything. Sure, we’ve had our share of scuffles, but that’s just how sisters are. No matter how much we bickered we never lost sight of the love between us, the bond that will always hold us together as sisters and friends. I want you to know how very joyous I am at being able to share your wedding day with you. You are a beautiful bride.Brad, I know you are the perfect man for my sister, and I know you’ll treat her right for the rest of your life. I want to welcome you to our family and say I’m glad to call you my brother-in-law. I’d like to propose a toast to my sister Amy and her new husband Brad. Here’s to true love!
