Touching Speech by Brides Dad


Perhaps this is one of the most touching speeches given by a brides father to the groom I have heard. I did not get a lot of counseling or advice before I got married,  I do remember my dad gave me a short letter he got called "Marriage is Death"- I lost it, but it was good advice and wish I could find a copy of that again. Hopefully I can show my grandkids by example on marriage, as Grandpas never give speeches at weddings. If anyone should have a copy of that article, please send it to me.
Bill’s second Anniversary was coming up and if there was one thing that got his wife Suzy upset, it was not getting a thoughtful gift on a special occasion.
Bill quizzed all his friends, co workers, clients and anyone he happened to bump into, as to what would be a good anniversary present. He finally settled on a huge bouquet of flowers.
Not willing to trust himself to pick out the right flowers, Bill called up a local flower shop with strict instructions to deliver the biggest most beautiful bouquet of flowers first thing in the morning with the following note “Happy Anniversary Year Number Two!”
The morning of the Anniversary Bill made sure Suzy would be the one to answer the door as he waited anxiously in the other room.
“WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?!” Hollered Suzie angrily holding up his well thought out note, “Happy Anniversary You’re Number Two!”
