Here's to Honor

My Outfit

Dress: Insight buy here

Shoes: Dolce Vita

This weekend I went to a wedding in Florida. I had no idea I would be giving a speech at the rehearsal dinner, but thats EXACTLY what I did.

My big concern (as usual), was what to wear. The bride said to dress casual for the dinner, but I still wanted to look church appropriate. I think the cardigan and the jewelry helped me achieve that look.

Aaaah, but I had to give a speech?!!! What to do, what to do???

Well, DON'T picture everyone naked...yes I know this is a trick some say works well, but if you're anything like me, that will just fluster you to no end. And do you really want to see your friends family members in their birthday suits? I didn't think so.

I also don't recommend memorizing anything, which you cant really do if you're put on the spot anyway.  Instead, pick the first memory of the bride or groom that comes to mind (assuming its appropriate to share with Granny), then, take a quality of that persons personality that is demonstrated in that memory. For example, "When I first met the bride she made me laugh til I cried. Here's why..._______ Groom, you have a lifetime to look forward to brides amazing smile and sense of humor..."

If all else fails you can always use the old tried and true:

 "Here's to Honor. Get on on her and stay on her!"

Yeah, that'll work just fine:)
