First of all I want to say how absolutely gorgeous my sister looks today. You make a stunning bride Michele! Thank you for making me your maid of honor, it has truly been a wonderful experience to be able to spend so much time helping to make your day so special.
As kids, Michele and I were pretty much inseparable; I wanted to do everything she did. I used to idolize the ground she walked on and I still do. When I look back on all the crazy things we did together as kids living upstairs from grandma, I have nothing but fond memories.
When Michele first asked me to be her maid of honor I was delighted. I was also warned that if this speech was long I would get a serious beat down after the reception. So I promise it won’t take me long, ILL JUST TALK REALLY FAST. I just wanted to share something with our bride and groom.
They say that before marriage a man will lay awake thinking about something you said, after marriage he'll fall asleep before you have finished saying it. Now, I'm sure that there are some of you out there that can relate to that.
I would like to offer my own advice for a happy and successful marriage, and just because I'm not married doesn’t mean I can’t offer some suggestions to my new brother-in-law, Shawn.
Shawn, whenever you're wrong, admit it, whenever you right, shut up.
The best way to remember an anniversary is to forget it just once.
Set the ground rules immediately for the new house and then Shawn do everything Michele says.
Never forget the two most important saying, you're right dear and okay buy it.
Lastly, women really do need a pair of shoes for every outfit or in my sister’s case, needs a new outfit for every new pair of shoes. So on that note before I get into any trouble!
TO a very LONG, but HAPPY marriage!!
TO MICHELE AND SHAWN!!!

Grammar Point:
When writing a speech one should try to make it interesting to the people he or she is going to be reading it to.
Look through the speech and find some points that you find interesting. Also find points in the speech that if you were listening would be something to keep you listening.
Nice post.But Add something more substantial in your speech like how the couple is well-suited and compliment each other perfectly. You can even compose a short poem that is creative. This will be valued better then a heartfelt and a genuine prose.
