Humorous Wedding Speech

Good Morning Family and Close Friends,

I want to first apologize for this long email, but I want to answer the many questions that will come from this email and explain what my family have been doing over the years. As many of you know, over the past eleven and one-half years, Julie and I decided to homeschool our daughters to avoid the pitfalls of our local schools. Although we were not educators, we felt passionate about giving our daughters an education that was not traditional. Looking back, we understood the risks involved, which we all dearly paid for with loss of income, stress, limited rest, tears, shorten vacations, nonexistent celebrations, etc. In other words, homeschool education has been by far the hardest part of raising our daughters. However, we were fortunate to have the support of many of you over the years, which helped us do everything in our power to guide our daughters to a top twenty university. There was help of all kind, from your emotional support, your conversations with them concerning their education, to buying a simple lunch, gifting bookbags, a computer, and even wanting to be part of the process by paying for some of their community college courses while they were in high school. Some of you even supported Julie and I in numerous ways so we can continue our difficult mission. For that, we will always thank you.

this fall. She truly deserves this honor due to her hard work, dedication, and willingness to give up her teens years to achieve this goal. In addition, the university’s location will hopefully help her future career choice by having the ability to intern in numerous federal law enforcement
