Very cool, he must have loved it :-) And saving the speeches until everyone has finished eating is a brilliant plan. I'm sure your guests appreciated that! That is such an original idea, Stacie!!!

The Best Boyfriend, Fiance, and Husband Awards Go to.... "Are you going to give a toast at the reception?" That's what my then fiance kept asking me week after week. Each time I would tell him "No, I don't like speaking in front of crowds." He had been working on his toast to me for months. LOL Little did he know that I had come up with my own fun and flirty plan. Knowing he loves awards, he has three bowling trophies that he's quite proud of, I decided to order 3 oscar styled trophies for him that said Best Boyfriend, Best Fiance and Best Husband. The dates on each one corresponded to the dates of each phase from our first date to the day before our engagement, our engagement date to the night before our wedding and our wedding date to "every day after." So there we were at our reception and imagine his shock when our master of ceremonies announced that it was time for the "Awards" portion of the reception. I stepped up to the podium, without anything prepared, and briefly spoke from my heart doing my best to articulate to our family and friends why my hubby is just the best guy ever. Oh and we saved the speeches until after dinner as people were finishing eating. It worked out great that way. Sorry if this is too long…
