It doesn't matter whether it's silver, ruby or gold.

It doesn't matter whether it's silver, ruby or gold. It's an important anniversary and it is important that you should toast the happy couple with words they'll treasure and remember. In an age of disagreement and divorce a wedding anniversary is a sign of permanence and promises that have been kept. It's a celebration of committment and old values that stand the test of time. It's definitely a time for a party and a gathering of family and friends. So your speech should mention times past, familiar events and the characters of the couple. It should speak of what they mean to those present. It should mention too the unique facets of their marriage. It's a time for commenerating those bygone times. The speeech should be warm in tone and very personal. So tell those humorous tales and speak of achievements over the years. Above all make sure you end your speech with a toast that wishes the couple a future that is even happier than the past.
