Maid of honour speech

Hi everyone, I'm LJ.

You probably all know me now as the hysterical woman from today and you're probably wondering why I've been allowed to do a speech and I'm as shocked as you all are.

But I promise I'm going to try and get through the next couple of minutes,

oh no, without crying too much.

So as Nige said, I've known Georgia since we were four years old, which means I had 21 years of embarrassing stories that I could share with you right now or I could tell Georgia how much she means to me and how much I love her.

And much to her relief, I'm going to do that, probably to your disappointment.

So, you are without a doubt the first person I've ever loved

I've loved you from the first day of our interception

Thanks Nige

Until now

Ooh I'm shaking

I loved you when we played dress up

I loved you when we performed together

when we did each other's make up

I loved you when we took it upon ourselves to paint your bedroom when Romy and Nige went away for the weekend.

And I love that you've never fully forgiven me for it.

I loved you when we cried over boys, when we made questionable decisions.

I loved you when you were sad and when I didn't get to see you that often and when you were hurting.

I have always loved

you and I always will.

Because to be frank with you, loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done.

And now, you have Mike.

Someone else who will never, ever, ever stop loving you.

Mike, there will never, ever be a way I can thank you for what you've done for Georgia.

For your love and your support and your care and your kindness.

You are everything I could ever possibly want for my best friend.

So thank you,

Romy and Nige.

Thank you so much for making me part of your family and for raising her to be the beautiful woman she is today.

Woo!

She's gone.

Okay.

The best way I can describe the love I have for the both of you is that when I'm with you, I feel like I'm home.

So to end, thank you, God.

It seems fitting to round things off with a Disney quote, slightly controversially from Lady and the Tramp.

Sorry, Mike.

But side by side with your loved one, you'll find enchantment here.

The night will weave its magic spell when the one you love is near.

Please, can we raise a toast to the most magical bride and groom?

Bride and groom!

Woo!

Sorry about the snort.

Thank you.
