This is what the toast said:


"I would like to propose a toast to Michelle and Jordan,

Congratulations to the both of you on sealing the beautiful love you guys share with each other.
Michelle, I want you to know how honored I am to be standing by your side during this memorable event in your life. I always imagined wedding planning to be a stressful time, but you were the perfect person to be Maid of Honor for. You were yourself the whole time; relaxed, creative, and happy about everything! This place looks stunning, just like You!
I’d like to tell you a little story I will never forget; the day my sister told me she was getting engaged. She flew into San Diego Airport for a family event. I picked her up by myself, and from the moment I saw her standing on the side of the curb she had a huge smile. I felt special because I thought she was excited to see me. To my surprise, she was more excited to tell me something. I figured out she couldn’t hold it in anymore and she needed to tell someone, because once she jumped eagerly into my car, she immediately showed me her left hand and blurts out “I’m engaged!”. Like everyone else did when they heard the wonderful news, I screamed, congratulated her, and gave her a huge hug. So the next words out of her mouth, “I want you to be my Maid of Honor.” There I went again, screamed and said my infamous words “Shut up!”. I gladly accepted, and we were full of smiles and more screams the entire drive to my apartment. Not to mention, I was a little jealous because of the gorgeous ring on her hand. Whoever picked out that ring must know a thing or two about my sister!
Jordan, I knew from the moment you and my sister were together, I wanted you to be “the one” for her. You make her very happy, you make us all laugh, you always have a kind heart, and you fit perfect in our family. I’ve always wanted you to be the brother I never had. Michelle is going to be the best wife, mother, and friend for you. I know this because she has been the best sister and friend to me.
I will be here for you guys, always! I love you both very much!!!
Here’s to Lovely Bride and Groom! Cheers!"
