"To all our dearest guests who came to celebrate this day with us, I would like to start by thanking you for taking the time to be here." Derek smiled charmingly as he wrapped an arm around Melissa's waist, holding her close to his side. "As you all know, Melissa and I have been waiting eagerly for this day to come. Now that it's finally happening…"
He trailed off, his lips stretching into a wide smile as he gazed lovingly at his fiancée. "I'm more than elated and grateful to finally call Melissa my fiancée — and soon, my wife."
"Our story wasn't easy and was filled with obstacles, but all of it was worth it," he continued, his tone softening with affection. "To Melissa and the Young family, I promise to do my best to make her the happiest woman."
Jasmine and Lawrence smiled approvingly, nodding at Derek's heartfelt words. Even the guests couldn't help but smile; Derek's affection toward Melissa seemed genuine and sincere. Melissa's eyes softened, her smile radiant.
