My beautiful wife, I'm so happy and thankful to have you by my side. The love of my life, always and forever. You are so thoughtful, interesting, and your smile continues to light up my world. I admire that you are brave and willing to step out of your comfort zone to try new things and have many laughs along the way. I know that our lives together will never be boring, and I'll treasure all the precious moments and milestones in our lives to come. I love you so much.

Anica, I have always wanted the very best for you. This is why it makes me so happy to see that you found a true partner in Patrick. I speak on behalf of our entire family when I say that we have considered you family for a while, Patrick.

To our bridal party, thank you for being such important pieces in our lives, being so supportive throughout the whole wedding process, and just ever since we've known you. You guys are the best.

I feel humble being selected to be Patrick's best man. To this day, I remember how we met, it was Grade 9 English. Now, flash forward almost eleven years later, I'm here, honoured to be speaking at his wedding.

A marriage, a marriage works on give and take and learning how to share, always thinking of your loved ones and to show how much you care.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, a ride through all the unexpected things that life throws at you. But I'm so happy that you will have each other to go through it all together.

Anica, we know that our son is in good hands and that he has found the perfect woman to be his wife.

Patrick, without a doubt in my mind, there's no one I would rather spend the rest of my life with. I feel like we complement each other so well and make a great team that can overcome any challenge life throws our way. I'm so happy to be married to you now and starting this new chapter of our life together. I love you so much.

“I, Anica, take you, Patrick, to be my husband. I promise to be faithful to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love you and to honour you all the days of my life, all the days of my life.”

Everyone, please stand up for the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick and Anica Bilas.

Your love will grow throughout your life and build upon that moment when you became husband and wife.
