Updated Speech

Updated! Woooooot. My word document has gone through a lot but here's what I have so far.

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!
