The lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and the subtle hum of conversation quieted as the MC stepped forward.
He wore a crisp suit with a lapel flower to match the wedding colors, holding a wireless mic in one hand and a cue card in the other.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen," he said with a wide smile, "if I can steal your attention for a few minutes, don't worry, the food is still coming, I'd like to officially welcome you to this celebration of love, commitment, and clearly excellent taste in venue."
The crowd laughed lightly, and the MC continued.
"We're gathered here not just to witness a wedding, but to celebrate the kind of bond that gives the rest of us a reason to believe in something more. So, let's kick off what will be a night to remember, with some heartfelt, embarrassing, and hopefully not incriminating speeches."
