We are gathered here today, in the sight of God, to celebrate the union of Huaer and Shaner. Together with Huaer’s parents and on behalf of Grandpa in China, we welcome and thank all of you who have come to witness the promise that these two young people have made to one another. You come from different parts of the UK and the world, with some coming from as far as HK, mainland China and Australia. Grandpa, Grandma, uncles and aunties, those in China who couldn’t join us today, have also sent their blessings. Thank you all so much.
In particular, we would like to thank Huaer’s parents, Mr and Mrs X. Because of your hard work, our dream has become true: we finally have a beautiful, intelligent and kind girl as our daughter. (don’t worry, S (水兒), we still love you～～).
We have known Huaer for more than 10 years. We may be allowed to say that we have seen her grown up. We are so grateful to her as she has always been there for Shaner in his journey from a student to a doctor.
We wanted to thank Shaner as well. As our eldest son, Shaner has followed us from China to the UK. We have been very proud of him. He has not only kept in touch with old friends, （we have his primary school friends from China today）, but also made new friends and has become well established in his career. Today, he and Huaer have opened a new chapter in their lives. Shaner has always been, and will always be, a dear son close to our hearts, and a dear brother and role model to S.
Taking this opportunity, as parents with 30 years of marriage, we would like to offer one piece of advice to Huaer and Shaner, that is, Be Kind to Yourself and to Each Other. We do not have to say that you should love each other, because that is why we are here. It is your love that we are witnessing and celebrating. There is no need for us to tell you that you should love your families and friends. I am sure the guests will agree with us that we have all enjoyed your love and friendship. We love you and are proud of you for that.
However, kindness is something we offer generously to our friends, even strangers, but sometimes forget to our loved ones, especially in our humble daily lives. Huaer and Shaner, we hope you remember to be kind to yourselves and to each other, in your big days and happy moments as well as in your not-so-perfect days.
May you always love each other, be full of patience and understanding, and be honest, loyal and kind to each other.
This is only the beginning of a great journey for the two of you. God bless you! God bless all of us!
謝謝讀帖，最後以花兒的花兒祝大家周五周末愉快！(花兒戴上學位帽慶祝山兒提前通過住院醫的所有資格考試，成為了英國皇家眼科醫師學會（The Royal College of Ophthalmologists）的正式成員（fellow））(補充記錄：要成為RCO的fellow，得在醫學院畢業、全科醫生兩年後，再在眼科醫生的七年住院醫專科訓練中通過四次大考，最後一次是一個兩天的包括理論和實踐的考試。每一次考試隻有50-60%的通過率，而山兒四次考試都是一次通過，所以在住院醫的第五個年頭就通過了所有考試，非常傲人的成績）
回複 '歲月沈香' 的評論 : ‘沈香遲來祝賀山兒與花兒的新婚大喜！祝福兩位新人幸福美滿，白頭到老，早生貴子！！室外婚禮現場太美了，溫馨典雅，好喜歡！我記得以前蘑菇在博文裏有讓我們參考選哪一條裙子參加兒子的婚禮，我好像提出了自己的選擇：）不知道蘑菇在婚禮上穿的是哪一條裙子？父母的贈言寫得非常好，蘑菇先生的確很幽默，肯定引來全場的歡笑聲，為這份贈言鼓掌！
最後祝賀山兒提前通過住院醫的所有資格考試，成為了英國皇家眼科醫師學會（The Royal College of Ophthalmologists）的正式成員！也恭喜蘑菇！真心為你高興！’
回複 '麥姐' 的評論 : “先送上大大的祝福，N年長跑修成正果，多麽完美的情緣。恭喜山兒花兒，佳偶天成；祝福教練蘑菇，孩子的喜事就是父母的幸福！婚禮致辭中英雙語，非常感人，分享你們的喜悅，淚水忍不住掉下來，模板先存起來，盡管俺家的還long way to go. :) 沒看到你的禮服有些失落，應該來張全家背影照。：）”
