Maybe the best kind of love is the kind where you sit on the sofa together, not saying a word, and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had. Maybe once in a lifetime you find someone who not only touches your heart but also your soul, someone who loves you for who you are and not what you could be. Maybe the art of true love is not about finding the perfect person, but about seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
Zara’s
vows
Andrew, from the moment I met you, I knew you were going to be something special. You have completely transformed my life and I will be eternally grateful that you have chosen me to be your wife. I love you without knowing how, or when or from where. I love you simply without problems or pride. Today, surrounded by all of our loved ones, I choose you to be my husband. I am proud to be your wife and to join my life with yours. I vow to support you, inspire you, and love you always. For as long as we both shall live, I will be by your side–for better or worse, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer. You are my one and only today and every day.
Andrew’s
vows
Zara, today you’re making me the happiest man by choosing to be my wife. We’ve created a life together and I am so excited to see what our future holds. I promise to be your best friend and love you unconditionally. I promise to stand in front of harms way, and stand by you through every storm. I promise to be myself completely, both the mature and the immature. I promise to be loyal, to listen and to trust you. I promise to never let our thirst for a wild sesh fade. I promise to make our childrens musical training as much of a priority as their cricket training. Today I join my life to yours not simply as your husband but your friend, your lover and biggest supporter.
Mother of the Bride To see Steve, your Dad walk you down the path today is a moment I will never forget and we are both so proud of you. Andrew, welcome to this crazy, wild, unpredictable but loving Wilford/Doig clan. You have been a son in law to us for quite some time now and we love you as one of our own. We can joke that you are a brave man to take on this feisty, stubborn but loyal and amazing woman but after 6 years of courtship, I think you have sussed it out by now! I know the day when you fell in love with Zara, the day you came to her first capstone performance at Ara and heard her perform. We sat behind you and when you turned around with tears in your eyes after Zara sang, I knew she had won your heart. We welcome you to our family and will always be here to support you – especially when you give us grandchildren!
Sister of the Bride Having a sister is like having a best friend that you go to for everything, and that’s what you are for me Zara. For happiness, sadness, excitement, advice, whatever it may be you’re pretty much the first person I always go to. Unless I’m not in the mood for honesty. Andrew and Zara have built such a great team together and I have so much love for you both as husband and wife. We welcome you and your family into ours with open arms. I wish only the best for you both and I can’t wait to see your future build together..
Father of the Bride Zara, we are so proud of you and what a talented and confident lady you have become and we look forward to watching your relationship flourish as you move forward as a married couple. You have a very bright future together – both with good jobs and a good work ethic, along with continued support and love from Chris and Julie and Rachel and myself. It doesn’t matter if the guy is perfect or the girl is perfect as long as they are perfect together. There is only one true happiness in life… to love and to be loved. I believe this is you guys! Congratulations and can I now ask you all to raise your glass to Mr and Mrs Brown!
Maid of Honour The two of you make an incredible team. I have always admired the way you constantly challenge each other to be better. I know communication is really important to you both. May that communication and will to always learn and be better continue in the years to come. I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys achieve and being a part of the rest of your milestones.
Bride’s speech Andrew - My husband, I love you so much. I can’t imagine traveling this road with anyone else. I am so lucky to call you my husband. I know I can always depend on you for support, you are my best friend and ally, and I am so excited for our future together.
Groom’s speech Zara, I knew you were the one. There’s not many girls that I can sit and watch 5 consecutive days of cricket with me, tolerate at least one song each by Korn and Rammstein, or throw me a surprise party which is still single handedly the nicest thing anyone’s done for me. We have and will continue to set life goals, and we will continue to smash them. We will grow together as a team. I promise to keep our life full of good music and dancing, laughter, amazing friends and family, and even eventually make beautiful babies, emphasis on the making. To me this is a simple recipe for a life of happiness together. We’re all looking for someone, that perfect girl, who can take our hand and help us see the world.
