Humorous Wedding Speech

Banquet Speech

Good evening everyone. I’d like to first start off by thanking all of our wonderful booster club and parents for making this banquet possible. I’d also like to thank all the family members and friends in attendance tonight for joining us on this special occasion, I hope you all get a taste of this program and how much of an impact it has had on each of us tonight.
