"My dear Colin, can you believe it? Eight years of writing anniversary, birthday, and Christmas cards. Now, here we are, reading each other's cards on the morning of our wedding.

Dear Therese, since that fateful day eight years ago when I asked you to be my girlfriend, I can honestly say that it has been the most fun and loving years of my life.

I met Therese on the first day of moving into our university student residence. This cute, enthusiastic girl knocked on my door, and we instantly became friends. We became sisters we never had to each other, and I'm so grateful to call Therese my best friend.

Colin, we've known each other since grade nine, which was somehow fourteen years ago. I have seen you two grow with each other, be there for one another through the good times and the tough times, and share life's memories with each other. I don't think words can express how happy I am for both of you and that all of us here - parents, family, friends - that we can all be here together to celebrate with you tonight.

Up to this very moment, I can't believe that my little girl has walked down the aisle and given herself away to the man of her dreams. I remember her as a young girl full of energy. The whole family never missed a single activity in school to watch her perform.

In the early childhood of Colin, I really enjoyed the so-called father and son time together. And we know that Therese is a nice, caring, smart girl, and we are very happy to have Therese as a new member of our family.

Therese, today you will embark on a new chapter of your life, a new challenge, but rest assured we will continue to be here for you and Colin. We're happy that I'm entrusting my daughter to a good man, and I know she's in good hands.

The times we get to spend together remind me time and time again why I fell in love with you in the first place. I remember looking forward to the text messages that were the size of an essay and seeing how beautifully you dressed up for formal events. Since then, I have experienced the love you have for those around you, and I'm so happy and proud to support you in achieving your lifelong goals and dreams.

"I, Colin, take you, Therese, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life."

"I, Therese, take you, Colin, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life."

"Therese, 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."

"Colin, you may kiss your bride."

It is my honour and my privilege, on behalf of your parents and your siblings, to introduce you both as Mr. and Mrs. Colin and Therese To.

"My stunning new wife, Therese, I've been blessed to spend the last eight years with you, and I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my days by your side."
