妈妈在迪迪婚礼上的发言
介绍一下，我是这位美丽的新娘的妈妈。
每一次看着迪迪，我都坚信我这一生是做对了什么。我是如此地为她骄傲，我的美丽的、善良的、聪明的迪迪。排除一切而言，仅仅是拥有迪迪，我这一生便是成功的了。当然，在其它方面我也算得上有成绩的，可是所有的一切，一切的一，都无法和拥有我的这位女儿 ------- 迪迪，能相媲美。
今天，从现在开始，我会多一个人让我骄傲了 — — 他就是这位同样英俊、善良、智慧的 Eric，迪迪的丈夫！
迪迪和Eric 相识相处有七年了。在这七年中，我常和迪迪打电话，闲聊。有时我会和迪迪谈起她最好的朋友，会问，“你最好的朋友某某怎么样了？” 这时迪迪会说：
“妈妈，我最最，最最好的朋友是Eric啊!”
我知道Eric 是迪迪最完美的匹配。但是，有的时候我也疑虑，因为我相信没有人是完美的，Eric 也同样如此。我记得我曾问过迪迪，“你总是说Eric 这点好那点优秀。那么他的缺点呢？” 迪迪说：“我们有各自的不同。就是这些不同才使我们的关系更加牢固！“
所以，因此，我放弃了，完全地、心甘情愿地放弃了 ------- 无问东西。
恭喜你们！恭喜你们相互找到对方！我祝福也坚信你们会永远幸福地在一起！
我爱你们！
Mom’s Speech at Deedee’s Wedding
I am the proud mother of this beautiful bride.
Every time when I look at Deedee, I believe I have done something right. I am so proud of her, my beautiful, kind, and intelligent daughter. Regardless of everything else, just having Deedee here makes me feel I am successful in this life. Of course, I have been successful in many aspects in life and of course nothing of any of those can be compared with this (pointing Deedee and smile) my Deeeedee.
Today and from now on, I have one more person to be proud of --- the equally handsome, kind, and intelligent Eric, Deedee’s husband!
Deedee and Eric have known each other for about seven years. During all these years, sometimes when I called Deedee and mentioned her best friend so-and-so Deedee would add, “Well, Mom, Eric is my BEST, best friend.”
I know Eric is the perfect match with Deedee. But sometimes I was wondering, because I believe no one is perfect, that must be the case with Eric. I remember I asked Deedee once, “You always say Eric is this good and that great. What about his flaws?” Deedee said, “We had our differences. And the differences only make our relationship stronger.”
So, I gave up, and totally, and was totally happy to give up.
Congratulations! Congratulations that you found each other! I wish and I know you two will be happy forever!
I love you both!
