MARRIAGE SPEECH
I BEGIN WITH INVOCATION TO VISHNU
MANGALAM BHAGAWAN VISHNU
SARVAMANGALAM KARUNA
DWAJA
My wife Kamala and I Seshadri welcome you to this memorable
day of union of our
Shriya With Matt ; Also I welcome the two families that
molded them to such pleasing personalities.
Our hearty welcome to our families who have come a long way We
seek
blessings from our elders in
heaven.
Our daughter Shriya is an achiever in life. Not only in acquiring degrees but
also in in choosing Matt Anderson for herself. She is beautiful, smart, and
intelligent and head strong .She is
goal
Oriented person and puts in efforts and is an achiever .Her love
is a love of two continents, and shows marriages are made in heaven.
Our daughter is a princess to us and will always be our
little girl. She has been a bundle of joy and rays of sunlight brightening our
lives.
Shriya, as a child was
intelligent, quick in grasping whatever mother teaches. At 2yrs 10 months we
went for her pre-school admission. She answered all questions put to her and
the colonel, the impressed committee member, asked whether she is already going
to school. As parents we were proud and excited.
Shriya had a helping tendency and always tried to help her
fellow mates having difficulty in
physics or mathematics.
Her engineering prof requests her whether she can review the
thesis of her
students. Her own PhD thesis went through without corrections bear a
testimony to her sincerity and dedication
Shriya loved pets dogs,pigeons, cats etc She used to feed a
street dog. We named him Murthy., When she was in pre university Murthy used to
accompany her from home to bus stop ,500 meters away. Murthy would wait for
Shriya to get into the bus and wave to him ln the evenings Murthy used to go to
the bus stop and wait for Shriya’s arrival. He would accompany her home.I have
never seen such a loving creature. Reminds me of Born free. The two pigeons
Inky and Pinky used to ride on her shoulders. Sooty the cat used to pull the
pen from Shriya’s hands and play with her. Teddy our black pommeranian was a
loving darling to us all.
Matthew Anderson is no stranger to us. We met this young man
in 2009 during the graduation of Shriya and Matt.Heis a pleasing personality
witty and humorous with smiling face, unassuming and ready to
help nature. I recall the day when I was playing Tennis in ASU and dust storm broke out. At 5 p m it grew
dark and the storm was hurling particles all over my body and not sparing even my eyes
. In absolute darkness I kept moving slowly and safely towards home. Suddenly
to my relief I saw Matt and Shriya in Matt’s car providing me a great relief.
Shriya did not have a car.Matt responded to a distress call from Shriya and
this shows his caring personality.
We welcome Shriya and Matt to Married couples club. This is
To couples of yesterday and tomorrow
Two humans join in life
With bonds as husband and wife
Strengthening each other in life
Attracting opposite magnetic poles, husband and wife
Souls merged into one
Care and share they begin
Yelling and forgetting together they stay
For problems on a bad day
Love clears it all the way
Communication, intimacy, trust
Three key elements promote love best
Without these relationship is hollow
People in love very well know
No heart for me like yours to me
No love for you like mine to you
Summarizes successful marriage
Love never diminishes with age
Now coming to Bride’s mind
An Indian bride glittering in sari
Rich in embroidery
Pretty, radiant with colorful bangles
Adorning gold jewelry that sparkles
A gleaming face with attractive bindi
Hands and feet with colorful
mehandi
Brides dreams of their lives
Fantasy world strikes
Life filled with joy, excitement and happiness
Dream days of togetherness
Groom charming ,
loving and caring
Lending ears. Good understanding
Irks in their mind hopes and fears of a new home
Away from parents in a new environment alone
Settling down to new relationships
Wishing and praying without any hard ship
In F in law, a father intelligent, learned and wise
In M in law, a mother inspiring and wonderful
In S in law, a sister impressive, loving and witty
In Bin law , a brother like Laxman and wise
Oh god every day , happiness I seek
May every week, a happy week
Every month, a merry month
Every year, a happy year of strength to strength.
I am sure you and Matt will honor and appreciate the Covenant
of marriage and live very many years of
love and happiness ahead. Matt, you
will take care of our darling
daughter. She is loving and caring. We know that you and Shriya
