Speaking: The Wedding

Ladies and gentlemen it is a very great privilege for me to be asked to make a speech about the bride and her ......

I have known Sally and Paul since we were at school ......

Most people considered that they were ..... for each other even in those days.

The other students described them as Romeo and Juliet and used to make fun of them behind their ......

Neither of them was at all ..... by this sort of behaviour as they just grew fonder of each other.

The teachers had a ..... spot for them too and were sympathetic if there was any trouble between them.

Then they both left school and both started working, as you can ....., for the same company.

When the announcement was made about their ....., there was a big celebration.

No one was surprised because everyone took it for ..... that one day they would marry.

Mind you I was surprised because you see I find it quite ..... why on earth she didn't marry me.
