“Start with a warm smile and raise your glass slightly...”
They say a son is a son till he takes a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all her life. Today, I'm not losing a son – I'm gaining the daughter I always wanted.
From the moment I met you, Amanda, I knew you were the one for my son. Not because you were perfect – no one is – but because you were perfect for him.
You challenge him to be better. You laugh at his jokes, even the bad ones. You've become part of our family so seamlessly that I can't imagine it without you.
To my son – you've made me proud every day of your life. Watching you grow from a little boy into the man standing before me today fills my heart with more joy than I can express.
To Amanda – thank you for loving him. Thank you for choosing him. Thank you for becoming my daughter.
May your life together be filled with love, adventure, and just enough challenges to keep things interesting. To the bride and groom!
