My speech at my daughter's wedding reception. Right before the video started, I said, "I'll try to keep this short ..."

"On to the crux of why I wanted to speak tonight. 

First of all… It’s been a while. 

But mostly, I wanted to share a story. A story that I wrote about the man that I love and the way that we met. 

Let’s call this a modern fairy tale. 

'Once upon a time…

There was a girl from LA (some people called her an actress). And there was a guy from London (some people called him a prince). All of those people didn’t fully get it. 

Because this is the love story of a boy and girl who were meant to be together. This, my love, is the story of us.

They meet on July 3rd, 2016 in London. And they giggle endlessly. She ordered a beer because she thinks he will think she is cool. He orderer a beer because he hopes she will think he is cool. (…) Neither of them really like beer. But one thing is obvious: they really like each other. So they eat and drink, and cancel plans and meet again for a second date the next night. Because they have to see each other again. (...) They have their second date and he brings her cupcakes because it’s 4th July. A bittersweet celebration’, he says. Ironic really. Her country’s independence from his country. Yet, in this moment, they know they don’t want to be independente of each other. And after a month of long-distance courtship, they settle into the quiet of Botswana. And amidst whatever momentary worries that creep in, they look at each other and think, ‘Whatever, world, we’re in.’ They would love, and garden, and travel, and laugh, and rack up more air miles than any couple could have. And when the tides were rough, they squeezed each other tighter. ‘Nothing can break us,’ they’d say. For this love, she was a fighter. ‘I appreciate, respect and honor you, my treasure, for the family we will create, and our love story that will last forever.’'

So I ask you to raise a glass to the astounding assurance that now life begins and the everlasting knowing that, above all, love wins."

- Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.

It was my childhood best friend’s wedding last weekend. I had to give a speech. Did I take the opportunity to sneak some nerd shit in there? You bet I did

…

Love is a funny thing. There are so many different kinds, and degrees, and durations, and it is something that we made up - that exists along with us and not without us, and that isn’t tangible or measurable like gravity or light, and is still in some ways the only force in the universe that really matters. We are made of star-stuff and we invented love and love makes us people. Love is what makes people. The act of loving, of receiving love, of allowing ourselves to be loved; it shapes us. It nourishes us and we grow; it braces us when we might otherwise fall; it reminds us that we are here and it matters. We matter. We are young and the world is very old, and as long as we have been here there has been love along with us. As long as we are here it will be, too. Creating us.

F-, L-, I am so honoured to be here with you both as you celebrate the love that you found, that you create, you share. I cannot wait to see how you grow with it; how it grows with you.

I will just close by saying - it’s love that makes people, but it’s also LOVE that MAKES PEOPLE, if you get what I mean. Ah you’ll figure it out. Anyway. To F and L!

Did I worm in an Eddie Diaz quote into my bridesmaid speech or did I worm in an Eddie Diaz quote into my bridesmaid speech?

P.s. The crowd loved it

I think about what I want to say on my wedding speech too much for someone who only falls in love with fictional characters.
