"Sarah, my beautiful best friend. You know, people keep asking me today, 'How long have you known the bride?' And I always pause, because how do you measure a friendship that's become so woven into the fabric of your life that you can't remember what it felt like before? I was that awkward twelve-year-old, hiding in the school library during lunch breaks, when Sarah plopped down next to me with her peanut butter sandwich and her dog-eared copy of Harry Potter. She didn't ask if the seat was taken, didn't make a big show of inclusion – she just started talking about Nearly Headless Nick as if we'd been friends all along. That's Sarah – she doesn't just enter your life, she slides into the empty spaces you didn't even know you had, making them feel full and warm and right. Through the years, we've shared everything – from midnight ice cream runs during breakups to holding each other through the loss of her dad. Sarah, you were there the night I had my panic attack in college, and instead of trying to fix it, you just sat with me on that cold bathroom floor, counting breaths until the world stopped spinning. That's when I knew – some people don't just become your friends, they become your home. Michael, I remember the night Sarah called me about your first date. There was something different in her voice – not the usual excited chatter about a new guy, but this quiet certainty I'd never heard before. She said, 'You know how sometimes you meet someone, and it feels like your heart just sighs and goes, 'Oh, there you are'?' That's what you did for her, Michael. You didn't just sweep her off her feet; you gave her solid ground to stand on. I've watched you both build something real and raw and beautiful. The way you make her laugh even when she's trying to be mad at you, Michael. The way you, Sarah, light up when you talk about your future together – not just the big moments, but the ordinary ones, like growing old reading books on your porch. To my best friend and her perfect match: May your love continue to be both a grand adventure and a quiet home. May you always find your way back to each other, especially on the hard days. And may you never lose that beautiful certainty that brought you together – that feeling of your hearts sighing, 'Oh, there you are.' Please raise your glasses to Sarah and Michael."
