Congratulations to the happy couple! I didn't get to come to the ceremony but I was at the reception and it was beautiful. May you have many happy years together.
I am grateful that the war is over but the rebuilding can be just as difficult. I haven't been here as long as most of you have but we're in this together and I will stay until you no longer need me.
Or maybe I'll stay anyway. I don't know. I do rather like it here.
