Speech

July 23, 2018

The following is my little brother’s speech for our LA reception.

It was so cute/hilarious, so I thought I would put it on the internet for forever.

Enjoy.

Hello. Today we celebrate the day that Megan and Stephen joined hands in marriage on that one day that happened before this day.  I think we are also just celebrating Megan and Stephen’s permanent relocation to America, which is why I felt it appropriate to wear shorts… And also because Stephen is wearing shorts…. And also because we’re in my backyard and I pay rent.

I was going to write out a speech, per tradition, but I thought it might be fun to try something different and show you the love story of Megan and Stephen through interpretative dance.  But I couldn’t find my tap shoes, and I was running out of time so I was forced to just write a speech.

For those of you who don’t know me, I am Megan’s little big brother.  It is on certain special occasions where I also act as her father, which is why I am giving this speech today.  If you aren’t super close to our family yet, I should inform you that we aren’t the most normal family ever. And if you are super close to us, then you must not be very normal either or you definitely wouldn’t be here today.

Before I talk about Stephen I wanted to give you a brief history of my sister and I. As you may have noticed we call eachother obscure nicknames which all started when I used to call her Sissy, as most 15 year old brothers do.  From there the names evolved and without quite knowing how we began to call eachother mijo and mija.  Which is Spanish for my son and my daughter.  Which is why the next part of this speech is in Spanish.

Mi hermana es no sólo a mi hermana, sino también a mi mejor amigo. Ha me ayudó a través de los tiempos difíciles y ayudó en la creación de
todos los tiempos grandes. Nosotros no sólo parecen iguales, pero actúan de la misma y pensamos lo mismo. Ella es alguien que puedo confiar y alguien en que puedo confiar. Que son cualidades que sólo cabe esperar encontrar en una persona. Tan cuando Stephen entró en nuestras vidas, no pude evitar sino sentir tan bendecida no sólo tiene un nuevo mejor amigo, pero lo más importante es un hermano. Que comparte las mismas cualidades que mi hermana tiene hace nuestra relación tan única y tan especial. Lealtad, sinceridad, honestidad, inteligencia, compasión y por supuesto, un poco de locos. Saludos a nuestra familia. Te amo chicos.

My sister is not only my sister, but also my best friend.  She has helped me through the hard times, and helped in creating all the great times.  We not only look the same, but act the same, and think the same.  She is someone I can trust and someone I can rely on.  Which are qualities you can only hope to find in a person.  So when Stephen came into our lives, I couldn’t help but feel so blessed to not only have a new best friend, but more
importantly a brother.  Who shares the same qualities my sister has that makes our relationship so unique and so special.  Loyalty, Sincerity, Honesty,
Intellect, Compassion and of course, a little bit of crazy.  Cheers to our family. I love you guys.

{editor’s note}: Shane wanted me to mention that he is not fluent in spanish, and there are probably a ton of errors.

Thanks little bro for making our day so special.
And for cooking half of the food that was there.
(details on that at a later date).

    Amazing. I was nearly brought to tears! Especially when I then thought about my little brother’s hypothetical speech at my eventual wedding 🙂 It’s obvious you two have an incredible bond.

    Okay, I don’t care if he’s fluent in Spanish but I’m simply impressed he even did that. He said all that, right? Seriously I’m impressed. So, what I wanted to say is that all of you are blessed to have one another. Great speech, and great hearts. 😉

    Brothers. They are something special. When they’re not pointing out your zits or hogging the TV remote, of course 🙂

    how sweet! i love it! my brother decided last minute he wanted to make a speech (which he had written on a beer mat and had us all in tears!) when i got married…and in his haste/nervousness drank too many beers which resulted in him throwing up in my friend’s shoes she had left under the table!
