Wedding Anniversary Speeches: Wrap Up

"Okay, we're at the end. See, wasn't that easy? But the thing is, is that the closing of the wedding anniversary speech can sometimes be the most difficult, only in the sense of what do you say to wrap it up. Well, you've introduced yourself, we've talked about the couple, what an inspiration they are, we've given this cute little story, we've handed over the gift, all you need to do at this point, again, is make another small, short, brief statement. Usually it will include the word congratulations. And you might want to tack on something, again, about what a joy it's been to know them, what a wonderful example they have set, what an inspiration they have been. Something to that effect. But you don't have to go on and on. It does not need to be a lengthy wrap up. It can simply be, congratulations, we love you, congratulations and sometimes you might want to throw in--this is a good thing to say--here's to many more years together. Or we hope you have many more years together. Beyond that, you don't really need to say anything else."
