This is Jay's speech to Sean & Dani at the wedding
Jay wrote this to be read at the wedding. Thought you all might enjoy reading it. Joe read it before the toast (which was done by Adam), and it was very cool. Here it is:
Hey Sean and Dani wanted me to write something that could be read at the wedding or the reception so it's Friday night and I'm thinking about what to write, all I ask is that you give this to Dad and tell him to read it at sometime throughout the night. Just don't tell Sean or Dani what I wrote. So here you go:
As my big brother is getting married I am dispatched over seas in the military. I tried to get home for the wedding as I would love to send him off into his life with a wonderful woman named Daniela. Although this was not possible, I'm still present in spirit and I thought I would write something to try to make it seem like I was there. My whole life as the little (emphasize that cuz I'm bigger than Sean hahaha) brother I've always looked up to Sean. When I got into sports I often played Sean because he was better than I was. Although this led to many sibling fights I do believe that it was just the competitive nature in the both of us wanting to come out. But through all of the times when we went at each other's necks we always worked it out so that everything would be ok between us. Sure sometimes took longer than others but that's what makes sibling rivalries fun. Then as we grew up it took on a different nature, it wasn't about winning anymore as much as it was about helping each other. When ever we saw something that we could help each other out with we were quick to offer some advice. When I needed help he was always there to do whatever he could to help me out. So to Sean I say thank you for everything, Godspeed and goodwill in your new life with Daniela. Now to this... Daniela. We have known each other for several years now. You have known me through some good times and some rough. While you may know more than some people about me what you don't know is how good of a person i believe you are. To come into this of all families a person needs a good sense of humor. Through the years I have seen many people not be able to handle all the jokes and come back with retorts quite like you . It's a different people to say the least. You have a good heart which speaks worlds for anyone in this day and age. So the point that I'm trying to get to is this: (try to read this next part as a joke) now that you're part of the family we aren't going to take it easy on you anymore. (This whole next sentence is a joke) And now that you married my brother all I ask is that you take care of him and don't screw him up, he's bad off enough as it is and he's been making progress. So to the both of you I say congratulations on your wedding and may you two live a long and prosperous life together. I wish for you both happiness and longevity. May God bless this marriage. I love you both.
