Wedding Day Recap: Maid of Honor Toast

I know I’ve talked in the past about my best friend and Maid of Honor, Melissa.  She is the one person in the world who I knew would make me turn off my feeling of needing to make everyone else happy and let others do things to make me happy on and around my wedding day.

I looked forward to her toast, and I was in no way disappointed.  Here’s what she said…

“So, I will start by telling you how I met Lexi.  It was at a restaurant in Muncie, Indiana… if you haven’t been there, please check it out.  Now, I remember the things that came out about Lexi.  She was this fiercely independent, extremely talented, beautiful young lady that new exactly what she wanted and was funny… so it was like looking in a mirror.  We of course had a few options… we could hate each other, or we could move in together, and work together eight hours a day and then go home together.  We chose the latter and instantly became pretty inseparable.  I will never forget, Lexi and Jason, if y’all haven’t heard the story, he took her to the aquarium on her first date and after their first date, a few days after, Lexi had been enjoying some adult beverages and called me and left a voicemail.  The only thing the voicemail said was, ‘I just want you to know, I’ve met my future husband.  This is all.’  That was the entire message, and I knew that we’d been friends for a while and I’d never heard her say that about someone before, so I knew that Jason must be really special.  Lexi, you will forever be my favorite partner in crime, my favorite cooking buddy, my favorite TV buddy, the best advice giver and I hope that everyone in this room has the opportunity to have a friend as great as Lexi and that your Lexi finds their Jason.  It’s been crazy this wedding week, so I’d like Jason and Lexi to stand up for a minute… I want y’all to have a moment together.  Lexi, put your hands out and Jason put your hands on top.  I want y’all to look at each other… remember this moment… and Jason, this is the last time you’ll have the upper hand.  I love you both!”

Who could ask for anything more???
