"So, it is not enough to copy and paste someone else’s words, because those words were for another wedding, to be spoken by another person; not you. You are being asked to contribute, you are being asked to speak and only you can speak as you.
That is what is really being asked of you, that you speak as you … for there is no one else in the whole world who can do that. You have not been asked to speak because you are someone else, you were chosen because: you are You, you are trusted, you are valued, you have a unique contribution to make and you can do this."—Stephen Outram.
