Ladies and
gentlemen. We are gathered here today to recognize something magical. Something
that has seemingly disappeared in our society. Something so rare and beautiful,
we have come together to partake and share in the joy it gives off. I am of course
talking about the open bar.
Now, I am going to refer to Misses Alex as Alex and Mr. Alex
as Birk mostly because that’s how I’ve always known them.
It’s also because I figured if I called them both Alex there
will possibly be some confusion which I could’ve just left as a challenge for
you guys but I chose no.
My name is Beth. I’ve known Alex for 10 years. We were roommates
in college. Those were blissful times… mostly spent playing Super Smash
Brothers and Mario Kart…. And the food.. Birk introduced me to an amazing food
combination of cheese dip and doritos. Tasted like magic. Thank you for that. ***this part needs editing
I have always looked up to Alex even though I am older
than her. Alex is a passionate ball of creativity which is just
so neat. She is an avid book fan and her recommendations are always spot on.
Her fondue making abilities are nothing short of phenomenal. Her love of
the French language inspired me to name my hamster Fenetre which is French for window.
I have never known Alex as a single lady… she has always
been with Birk. And to that I just have to say, it’s about time!
Being an experienced married lady myself… I just have to say
that everything’s the same except now you can file jointly on your taxes.
Alex and Birk have such a magical relationship. The support
they share for one another is so awesome in that they have seen each other’s
dreams become a reality. Their creativity knows no bounds and personally, they
have inspired me to be a more creative person. Because of Alex, I have
participated in national novel writing month, started a blog, and read a lot of
good books. **this part needs editing
You guys, to use a term from one of Birk’s favorite tv
shows, Futurama, are each other’s smizmars, or love partners.
And to even things out, Alex, to quote Neil Gaiman,
“May your coming year be filled with
magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss
someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write
or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the
next year, you surprise yourself.”
You guys are super neat and I wish the best in your future
adventures. Cheers everybody!
