Welcome everyone, and thank you for coming to help us celebrate this most auspicious occasion. It is my great privilege and delight to say that no celebration, no matter how well and meticulously planned, no matter how elaborately conceived or festively given, no matter how richly appointed or grand, can compare to the real, honest, every day joy of being able to return home to my wonderful wife Linda and my son Samuel. May it continue so for many years, and may all of you know this quotidian delight--for this is the true delight and the true joy of life--the joy of every day anew.
