SPECIAL OCCASION SPEECH Hi. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Bernadette. We’re gathered here today and witnessed the joyous union of Kae and Gio. I am the maid of honor and best friend of the bride. I want to start off by saying that every once in a while… two people meet, and you know it’s meant to be. You know instantly that the stars have aligned, and their paths would bring them together regardless what the world may throw their way. This was clearly the case over 7 years ago, when Kae and I first met. (laughs) Looking back over the years, and remembering when I first met Kendall, it truly amazes me that something that seems so minor, such as a simple invitation to have a few drinks with the new girl at work… could change my life forever. Kae and I may not have been childhood friends; we never played dress up or imagined what our weddings would be like as little girls. We didn’t go to school together and never braided each other’s hair… We don’t have any memories to speak of before the age of 18, but none of that matters because I feel like I have known you my whole life. We know more about each other than we probably care to, and that’s because we can share anything without passing too much judgment. We have laughed together, we have cried together… We have inside jokes that only we find funny. Personally, I think we’re hysterical… but that’s why we are friends… because I don’t think anybody else does. I want you to know that I wrote a speech for today about 50 times over. I couldn’t think of anything perfect enough to describe just how much I love you. There are no words big enough, to define the kind of friend you are to me, and I certainly had no idea how to summarize everything I wanted to say to make it all fit on to one page… but I will say this… You are the best friend a girl could ever ask for. You have always been there
