At the same time Willow stands up and clear her throat to get everyone attention.
"Hi I am Willow, Faith Maid of Honor and I knew since high school that Faith and Xander would get married one day. On the day that Xander asks Faith to marry him in front of his friends and daughter at a picnic in the park, I saw the tear of joy in Faith eyes when she saw the engagement ring and told Xander yes and I also saw the tears of joy in Xander eyes when he hear Faith said yes. Faith was also a great help to me and listens to me tell her my fear when I find out I was pregnant and help me once the babies were born when I did not know what I was suppose to be doing. I hope that Faith and Xander have a long and happy marriage and that the two of them have a large family."
Willow sits down on her chair and at the same time Oz stand up from his chair and then he starts to talk.
"Hi my name is Oz and I know Xander since his junior year of high school and he came a long way from the carefree goffer teenage boy, but when he found out his girlfriend Faith was pregnant Xander become a responsible man within nine months. Once his daughter was born, he became a love father and was always there to help Faith take care of Destiny. When I found out that my girlfriend was pregnant Xander was there for me and listen to me talk about how scary I was and let me know what he thought being a great father meant and what he learned from help Faith take care of Destiny, so I was ready when my son and daughter were born. I hope that Xander and Faith have a long and very romantic marriage and give Destiny several brothers and sisters."
