My Sister's Toast

An interesting insight into the mind of a good speaker
1. Introduce myself
2. Thank families and those who travelled
3. Story about Kevin & Cailean
4. Story about Kevin & Tara – 80% luck – right time, right place (Kevin’s note: I think 80% persistence)
5. Their capacity to love – Love is the life-spring of existence. The more you give, the happier you feel, and the more you have within to give.
6. Sum of parts is greater than parts alone
7. Toast – I love you both and it is wonderful to share this day with you. Congratulations and I wish you the best for the rest of your lives.
The wedding went wonderfully. Lots of happy people, and the ceremony was full of meaning and Kevin & Tara nuggets of philosophy. The party was a whirlwind, but fun. We could have had it go on forever, but our guests were probably not quite as entertained as we were :)
A wedding is so fast! After a year of planning, to have the whole thing over in 4 or 5 hours seems crazy. Sure, it lasts a lifetime. But I’m talking about the part we planned for :)
It was a lovely cultural experience, and I highly recommend it.
