英語演講短文——結婚(Wedding)

On behalf of president Xu Who could not attend today, I would like to first express our cordial gratitude to you for inviting us to this wonderful wedding reception. Also, I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

I happen to know the Groom, Mr. John Brown quite well, through our business dealings between his company and mine. I believe Mr. Brown is by far the most competent and efficient businessman I have ever met. Obviously, his competence and efficiency even outside of his profession have also been proved, from the fact that he has today married such a beautiful and intelligent bride. Mr. Brown, with your youth and talent, I am sure that you will have a very happy married life.

Let me say congratulations again to you both, and I hope you will not work too hard and leave your wife alone too often.

Congratulations!

由于是正式的場合，所以選擇稍顯誇張的用詞，比較能夠為整個演說增添一絲情趣。不妨加入一些襯托新人優點與魅力的插曲。然而切忌趁機“華眾取寵”，過于隱私性的插曲隻會使人掃興。
