Welcome and thank you, family and friends, for being here today, towitness this public celebration of two beautiful people's love for each other. I asked the couple what they wanted me to include in this ceremony, and they told me to keep things light and funny ... but most importantly, to keep it short. I'm guessing we all want to hit that open bar a little earliertoday ... You've been asked here today because you are all an important part ofSam and Kelley's life.You may have watched them grow into the individuals they are today or some of you may have met them as the amazing couple they are, but I think we can all agree just how perfect they are for each other.
