Samantha and Mark's Words of Love at Graydon Hall Manor in Toronto, Ontario


Samantha, when we first met, I felt an instant connection to you. I found you funny, sweet, beautiful, and very easy to talk to. We were inseparable from the very beginning. I missed you whenever we were apart, and I knew very early on I wanted to be with you forever.

You are here, watching the union of two of the single most loyal, dedicated, loving, charming, generous people, and I hope that you all have a fantastic night reveling in their love because you'll be able to watch it last forever.

This evening, I want to talk to you about one of the cleverest, wittiest, most charming, most handsome, most muscular man I know. They say there comes a time in our lives when we meet that amazing person, the one you're most compatible with, the one that will always be there for you, and that moment happened for Mark over fifteen years ago when he met me. If someone were to ask me what Mark's best qualities are, I would say I admire his resiliency, willpower, determination, and drive to be the best at what he does. Your friendship has been a source of strength to me throughout the years, and I want to tell you it's been an honour and a privilege to stand beside you today. I've never seen Mark happier than he is right now, and that credit belongs to that amazing woman right by his side there.

I'll speak on behalf of Robin. In being a twin, I've had the pleasure and sometimes struggle of sharing my life from the womb to today with this amazing woman. She is the ride or die, gives the best advice, calms even when those around her are breaking down, supportive, and always there when you need her, even though it might take her three days to call you back. So I'd just like to tell my sister, I love you for being there for me always and forever.

So we've known each other for seventeen years, worked at the same station, him and I have been really good friends for a long time. One thing he was never unsure of is Sam, and from the beginning, he was madly in love with her and couldn't stop talking about her, and you were always number one. To the bride and groom, cheers!

Marriage is given that with delight and tenderness, they may know each other in love, and through their physical union, may strengthen the union of their lives. Marriage is a bond to be entered into only after considerable thought and reflection. By making this commitment today, Samantha's and Mark's relationship will become stronger, better, and deeper. Today they demonstrate their devotion to each other by dedicating themselves to a life together, by showing their respect to each other.

Samantha, when it comes to the perfect partner, you check every box. You're fun to be with, loving, supportive, generous. You are everything I could have dreamed of and a best friend, soul mate, wife, and mother to Wyatt.

Mark, watching you be the father that you are to our son has been one of the most amazing feelings a mother could have. I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I will love you always. All that you are is all that I'll ever need.

Under the vows that you've made this day and since your lives are joined, in this life you have formed ties together in honesty and sincerity in what you have said and done here today. It is my honor to declare that you are husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.

Mark, when she met you, you added this sparkle to her eye like we have never seen before. Thank you for the way you treat her, the way you love her, and the way you support her. Witnessing you two create such a beautiful family together has been absolutely everything. We are so honored to be a part of your special day; it is truly amazing to witness and be a part of the love that you two share for each other.

They did say, "I do," three little letters, two little words. It means, "I do want to try, even when the fear of failure holds me back." "I do" means, "I do want your love, and I do give you mine," which they did today. May this be a reminder to the two of you: you are stronger when you are together.
