Taking a deep breath
I stood at the microphone, inhaled deeply, and then began to speak. As I gazed out at the sea of faces, some happy, others questioning, a silence descended upon the room, and I could feel every eye on me. The air was heavy with expectancy. I was both anxious and thrilled to finally speak in front of everyone.

Congratulating the happy couple
I started out by extending my warmest congratulations to Lauren and Jason on their wonderful day. I acknowledged that we all loved them and made care to speak in a kind tone. The visitors paid close attention to what I said. As everyone treasured this lovely hour spent with friends and family, the space was cozy and encouraging.
