Reception
The wedding reception would take place at the central park Boathouse since central park was a special place for Damon and Emily they got back together and got engaged as well there was no perfect setting to have their reception.
The emcee of the wedding introduced Mr. and Mrs. Young for the first time is was time for their first dance which they choice to dance to This I swear by Nick Lachey. After the first dance came the first speech of many of the night which was from Emily Maid of Honor Payson her speech went like this
Good Evening! For those of you who don't know me, I am Payson Keeler , the very proud friend of our glamorous Bride. I want to start by congratulating bride and groom, and thanking all of you for coming here today. When I look at the bride and groom, I feel such a whirlwind of emotions? I know that Emily has found her true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing. My heart is bursting with love for you two today. I know you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God's blessing your marriage will last for decades to come.I met Emily when we both were training at the rock. We were teammates and closely became friends. I want to note how beautiful you look today, and to tell you that this has truly been a special day for me. Thank you for giving true meaning to the word friend you are almost like a sister to me. My greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years, your love for each other will deepen and grow. Years from now, may you look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least. I wish you the very best. My love to the both of you.
Please raise your glasses while I toast to the bride and groom.
Take each day and cherish your time together. Love one another and stand together. Take time to talk to one another. Put your love and your family first; your job and your hobbies second. May your love be like the wind, strong enough to move the clouds, soft enough to never hurt, but always never ending? So here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after. Cheers!
( After the speech Emily and Damon give Payson a big hug as Emily and Payson dried tears.)
There were two other dances after Payson's speech instead of a father daughter dance Emily decide on a uncle niece dance with Robert they danced to Butterfly kisses by Bob Carlisle there was also a Aunt nephew dance with Damon and his aunt they danced to The man you become by Molly Pasutti. There was a special daddy daughter dance with Isabella and Damon they danced to Daughters by john Mayer.
The second speech was from Damon's best man who was his drummer named Charles. His speech went like this. Emily and Damon - I would like to begin with a speech. A wise person once told me that magic happens at the most unexpected moments. I would have to disagree. Today has been planned for months and months, and it was still filled with magic. I've known Damon for many years, and I've never seen him happier than when he is with Emily. And I haven't seen Emily without a smile when she and Damon are together. This magic that makes them happy today is love. Love, however, isn't always simple. You will fight and disagree, but as long as you love each other this magic will never die. May the rest of your lives be filled with magical moments. Emily and Damon have each walked many miles to be here together today, and this wedding is a joy to behold. I can speak for everyone in this room, when I say we all wish you the happiness that you deserve. We are so glad that you have found one another, and this day is a reminder that the best is yet to come. I cried when Damon told me that he was going to ask Emily to marry him, and the next week I cried when I heard the answer was yes. Congratulations! Please raise your glasses while I toast to the bride and groom. So here's to love, laughter, and happily years after. Cheers!
(After the speech Emily hugged the best man and Damon gave him a man hug )
Since Emily and Damon were musical there were going to be some singing for their reception Emily and her aunt Elizabeth decide to sing Next to me by Emeli Sande after that Emily and Damon decide to sing Pretending by the glee after they sung. It was time for the cake cutting Emily and Damon chose a multi-tiered red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
The two final speeches were going to be from Emily's Uncle Robert and Damon had a speech before singing to him bride a special song.
First was Emily's Uncle Robert his speech went like this. As I look at my niece , the bride, I can't help but reflect on all the years I was lucky enough to watch her grow and become the beautiful woman she is today. She captured my heart on the day she was born, and I became more and more in awe of her as the years passed by. She's my ray of sunlight, and no matter what her age, she'll always be that. But today as I watch her marry a wonderful man, I'm filled with pride and am confident that she and Damon are about to embark on a wonderful journey filled with the love and happiness that can only come as man and wife. May the two of you always treat each other with love, compassion and kindness. I ask you to join me to today in congratulating the bride and groom and wishing them all the best for a long and happy life together.
The final speech of the night before Emily and Damon went on their honeymoon was Damon his speech went like this Before I sing a song for my bride I would like to say some words. Emily , the day I met you, my world stood still. I had always hoped to meet someone like you, but wondered if such a woman even existed. But when we met, you exceeded all of my expectations - you were my perfect fit. It was as if our meeting was written in the stars, arranged by some heavenly being. And the more I got to know you, the more deeply I fell in love. I knew that I wanted to hear your laugh, see your smile and feel your heart beating for the rest of my life. And so today as we join our lives together, I give you both my heart and my hand and want you to know that as we journey through life, we will do so as partners, lovers and best friends. I feel extremely blessed to have Emily as my wife. I look forward to our life together, with all its twists and turns, joys and sorrows. I know in my heart that we were meant to be together - it was simply our destiny. Emily this song is for you.
