Ok, here's my second draft. Thoughts?
"Hi, my name
is *me*. *Bride*, you’ve been my best friend pretty much since the 9th
grade when we sat in the back of Spanish class writing parodies to N Sync
songs. Really at this point you’re more of a sister, and having you in my life all
these years has truly been a gift. I love you, and it makes me so happy to know
that you’ve found your other half. The way you and *groom* look at each other,
the way you talk to each other, and about each other, leaves no doubt in my
mind that the two of you belong together and have a lifetime of happiness ahead of you.
Here’s to *bride* and *groom*."
