A week ago, I received public speaking class's first assignment about giving a speech. It require me to write a personal speech, I choose the easiest one(obviously), wedding toast.
The wedding toast is for my sister, Ye, so I had a little chat with her about this online. To my surprise, it's quite funny. Chat log slightly edited for space-time continuum.
Ye is not getting married, this is just a public speaking project!
Mgccl: I'm writing a wedding toast for public speaking
Ye: are u serious?
Ye: cool.
Mgccl: so... I have to toast Ye
Ye: wy?
Mgccl: because it's a wedding toast
Mgccl: so what can I write
Ye: who are u toasting to?
Ye: me ?
Mgccl: yeah
Ye: lol. that's a funny topic.
Mgccl: Toast:
"Excuse me everyone, could I please have a moment of your attention? I would like to have a few words about this wedding. I'’m Chao, Ye’s longtime math genius brother. I would like to thank the host for allowing me in here, since I have a drinking problem.
We are here to celebrate the marriage between Ye and Mike.
I have known Ye for more than 10 years and she is a intelligent and kind person.
Ye, listens to people’s problems, without judging them, a quality not often seen these days. Remember there was a time when I finally finished the 165 questions in Project Euler, she is the only one who can listen to me bragging about it without getting a emergency phone call. It’s nice to know that this time she is going to find someone who is going to listen to her.
Mike, even though I haven’t had a long time to see you in person, I know you are the perfect one for Ye. In the last 2 month, you are involved in every bit of the wedding preparation. Your enthusiasm in making this marriage to work can be seen everyday.
Congratulations to Ye and Mike. Here I give you my dearest blessings.
Now, can I have my tequila back?"
Ye: it's awesome.
Mgccl: You always say my stuff is cool.
Ye: haha. u are my bro of course i have to say that.
Ye: that's what family is for.
Ye: lol.
Mgccl: xD.. hope you are not saying "neat, awesome, cool" because I'm your bro, but because it is really awesome..
Ye: it is really awesome. i mean it with all my heart.
Ye: it's nice and short, but to the point filled with eulogy and nice sentiment.
Mgccl: ...
Mgccl: isn't eulogy mean a formal expression of praise for someone who has died recently?
Ye: i am falling asleep. going for a walk. be back in 15-20 mins.
Mgccl: ...
