I've dreamed of this moment, Miranda, since you were born. What do I cherish about Miranda? All that is simple—it's everything. When I look at you, I see the past, the present, and the future. I see my little sunshine playing dress-up with my clothes and makeup. You really never grew out of this, so please return my blouse and my lipstick from last week.

Miranda, you amaze me with your strength, resilience, your beauty, and your kindness. The pride I feel with all you achieve and the honour I feel of being your mother to my little girl who grew up to be my best friend. You are my sunshine.

My dear baby brother, my best friend. You are the kindest, most genuine, honest, determined, and special human I have ever met in the world. Seeing the two of you together always makes my heart smile. You give each other permission to be yourselves. You accept each other's imperfections, and most importantly, you support and encourage each other, no matter what task or project you decide to tackle. Roy, I may always be your big sister, but you have become the person I look up to the most. You have taught me so much about the world, and your actions and way of being inspire me every single day.

Roy, you make me cry today. Our products: no exchange and no return. Good luck for life. Cheers, everybody.

Brothers and sisters, strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts, but I shall show you a still more excellent way. If I have all faith but do not have love, I am nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

We, Miranda and Roy, stand in front of God and this holy altar, in front of the cross and the holy gospel, in front of the church and in front of you, Father. We declare our covenant, we promise to be faithful to it all our lives, and we ask God to bless us and to help us to do so. And we ask you, Father, and all those present here today, to pray for us.

Miranda, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Roy, take this ring as a sign of my love and my fidelity, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

I have the honour and the pleasure to announce the marriage of this new couple, and for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Roy and Miranda Houkayem.

Miranda, I've always been so grateful for who you are and for our relationship. Growing up I always looked up to you more than I think you knew. Beautiful, thoughtful, energetic, ambitious— all words that describe my big sister. For those who know Miranda, you know she has this amazing contagious energy and a smile that just lights up the room. Thank you for being the best sister I could ever ask for.

To my son Roy, we are so happy today that you have met your perfect half and that you'll be spending the rest of your life with her. Roy was a calm, lovely, easy-going child. You have made us proud with all your accomplishments, but especially with your incredible heart. And even more and more proud of you since you introduced this beautiful lady to our family.

To my little angel Miranda, from the moment you stepped into our lives, you have brought us so much joy. You brought us light in a time of darkness. Miranda, you have earned my respect and admiration for your persistence, hard work, but my favorite thing that I simply adore about you and that lights up my world every time I see you is your magical smile.

To my wife and my life, you look stunning tonight. Doesn't she look like royalty? I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you so, so much.

To my husband, cheers! This is just the beginning. You made me the luckiest girl in the world today. Love you. We did it.

Now let's party!
