[Colonel]

Thank God - for bringing such a beautiful, wonderful woman into your life. Thank her parents - for raising her to be a beautiful, wonderful woman. Thank your parents - for all that they've ever done for you. Thank everyone who helped with the wedding. Then, close with a few words to your bride about how much you love her and how she's your best friend and about how you look forward to growing old together and sharing all that the future has to offer.

Most importantly, remember to be brief. The faster the reception is over, the quicker you can go on your honeymoon. biggrin:
