So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
Look, I now realize that some things are not meant to be,
and life is never easy, it's not a rose filled dream,
but we can stick together, we can make the distance,
we can prove to the world that we truly are a team.
I hope you know by now that you're my one and only,
in truth, I simply love you with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel so complete,
yes, you do make me feel so completely whole.
I'm trying to find the right words to express exactly how I feel
but it's hard to describe what's in your heart and soul,
just know that, with you, I feel so loved, so complete,
yes, you are the only one that could ever make me completely whole.
I also wanted to say "Happy Birthday",
but there's a few other words that need to be said,
because I know I'm a hot tempered guy,
and some times my tongue gets easily led.
You love computers and you love to help others
and that was probably the start of my admiration,
as I think it was Oscar Wilde who once said,
"The trick is to make your vacation your vocation"
And it's that love that will make me well again,
and then once again, we can have our wings unfurled,
because we've been on some great trips together,
so it won't be long before once again, we're exploring this world.
However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.
And what if, after that final breath,
then there is some sort of judgement day?
How on earth will you make your case?
what worthwhile thing could you possibly say?
Just know that I'll always be there for you,
and I promise, I'll never, ever let you down,
I'll always be there to lift you up, to support you,
and I'll make you happy, I'll make you smile (and never frown).
And I will also always be there for you,
if you ever need a shoulder or a helping hand,
divided we shall fall and be conquered,
but together and united we will make a stand.
Because this metrosexual loves you very much,
even with air-con and your 5 minute tan,
you make me feel complete, so wonderful,
all in all, you make me a much better man.
I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
Because The Drink is a dreadful thing,
it will make you obese and make you fat,
and the more that you drink, the more you will drink,
it's addictive, it's as simple as that.
I never imagined I'd ever meet someone so special,
honestly, not even in my wildest and hopeful dreams,
but ever since we met, I have felt truly blessed,
and we do make one of the world's finest teams.
Give of themselves, give to others,
and make your life truly worthwhile,
because I guarantee you?ll win either way,
because after all, what if this is just a trial?
I hope you know by now that you're my one and only,
in truth, I simply love you with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel so complete,
yes, you and the kids make me feel so completely whole.
And I also wanted to Happy 80th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), grandmother, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another eighty more!
I'm going to miss his tasteless made up jokes,
they were so stupid, you couldn't help but laugh out loud,
and Dad, I know you're listening, I think you're great,
you made me, you make me, feel so very proud.
When we were little we used to fight over the telephone,
and then we would end up beating up one another,
we used to make fun of (NAME), (NAME) and (NAME),
in those days, their tight pants would make us run for cover.
You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.
We will love and support you always,
we'll pick you up if you happen to scrape your knee,
but in the meantime, we just wanted to say Happy Graduation,
and thanks (NAME), you make the world a great place to be.
I am a better person since I met you,
you make me want to be the best that I can,
and I want to give you the happiness that you deserve,
you see, I only want the very best for my man.
But in the meantime, let's enjoy what we have right now,
let's make the most of this, our very own 'spot',
because I think it's important that we should just 'be',
with 'us', I think we should recognize just what we've got.
Look, I'm the maid of honor here,
and I certainly don't want to preach,
but I'm going to share a few thoughts,
and I'll try not to make this a boring old speech.
