When I first met him, I was impressed with him, because he pulled me aside and he asked for Caitlin's hand in marriage.
And I said, I hope he picks the hand that keeps picking my pocket.
I got my ginger ale, my hard-boiled egg. I didn't sleep that great because I drank too much black tea with the bridesmaid tea, but I feel great. All things considered.
We were in half in the making, and we finally got it all together, up to 230. So we're all broken and sob all day long because we're tired.
I looked down and saw this crossage of flowers, and I was thinking how important flowers are in our relationship, in the sense that our first successful date was in a garden.
And we were walking around and I was telling Caitlin about the affections of our heart and how we can't directly make them bloom.
We can only prepare a sort of light beginning with flowers. So it just came back to me, how beautifully we have prepared for this wedding day.
Well, I can't wait to see you. It's killing me. I want to know how you're doing and if you're nervous or excited. I can't wait. I'm probably going to start crying when I see that in the aisle. And I love you so much.
Jacob, you and Caitlin are a gift to the church and to the world, a gift to me and to our families. You have incredible talents for the building up of culture. Never lose hope.
Let your love for one another touch so many lives, the haughty and the destitute. Most of all, love one another. It is awesome.
I have to raise a glass. Where's my glass? I have to raise a glass and ask everyone here to raise a glass.
To Caitlin, the answer that God gave and to Jacob, a very wonderful brother to all of us, someone who we emulate, look up to, though he's the youngest.
Please never forget the love and the joy and always, always be grateful. Cheers.
Praise be your name forever and ever, by the heaviness and awful of cremation and cremation forever.
You made out of him and gave his life to him to be his help and support. And from these two, the human brings us together.
We believe that the Jesus will change even better as our lives will emerge into a world. Change can become more possible. And marriage is designed specifically to help people become white prophets.

It was about five years ago, March 4th, 2008, to be exact. Caitlin and I were discussing boys over a margarita. Or two. Possibly even three.
We decided to make a bet of $50. Who would be the first of us to get married? I of course knew it would be Kate. And I would walk away $50 wealthier.
Caitlin, on the other hand, placed her bet on me. Sucker.
We wrote this bet down on a napkin, which I have with me right here.
I'm carrying this with me in my wallet since bad evening. I'm waiting for this exact moment. So Jacob?

On to Jack here. What's up, bro? It's good to see you, man. I've never seen you sitting so well. I did prepare some words after the bachelor party. I'm curious too.
Caitlin, you have rescued Jacob.
Though he was always a good boy. And he is a good man.
And you rescued him from his books. You all continue to have to do that. But you have rescued Jacob from being alone.
Because his heart began seeking more and more. And then your gaze caught him. I wrote this. I was drunk.
I'm painting a picture now. He pursued you. And your heart was open enough to give him the chances he needed.
Jacob and Caitlin, my wish for you. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
I wish that you make each other smile as soon as you see each other waving from across the room. I wish that you light each other's hearts without even trying.
So that time spent together feels like a little slice of chocolate cake. Wait, who am I kidding? A big slice of chocolate cake.
I think these two are great together. I think their faith will really hold them. And I think they'll be a loving couple.
So this time you can raise your glasses and stand up maybe. And toast the bride and groom. And here's to a happy and long life together.
Cheers!
We're tasting the sunshine together in its light. There's no ending outside. We're tasting the sunshine.
We're tasting the sunshine.
In this life, you will come to know and befriend many people. There are those that make you laugh. And there are those from your childhood.
There are individuals who can be great and inspire us. And there are those that become the double to your troubles.
Ideally, we want friends with whom we'll grow closer and closer as we get older. And if we are true and if we are kind and grateful, then maybe just maybe.
You will find a friend to the end. A friend like Katelyn.
I wish my husband was physically here, although I know he's here in spirit.
The advice I would give to Jackie is the same as I give all my sons. And that is to love their wives and treat them like queens.
That's the way their dad did to me.
He found a beautiful girl and I think Katelyn is the perfect person for him.
So I'm very happy that that. And I know that we'll have just a beautiful life together.
