Lisa and I are really very sorry that we can't be there today to join with you all in celebrating and sharing this occasion with Gareth and Simone. I'm sure I can trust the likes of Jase, Trev, Hutch and Dad to tell plenty of stories, so I'll shoot straight from the heart.
Gareth - I have always admired, and in fact envied, what I see as two distinct aspects of what makes you special. You've always been very comfortable meeting, mingling, and usually sharing a beer with people from all walks of life in all kinds of situations, in a natural and relaxed way. Its that ease that makes you such a natural and so good at your job - and a guy who's well known and well liked in the community.
But I'm sure that most all of you here this evening agree with me when I say that for those close to you, you're much more than the easy casual friend you are to so many people. While you make new contacts easily, you keep old friends very well: because you're straight up, loyal, giving and caring and stand by them. These attributes are golden.
So I think you've done well, Simone, but Gareth, or course, has done equally well in finding you. You are bright, bubbly, loving and have had an incredible impact on Gareth. Lisa and I are look forward to spending more time with you in the years to come. I can't wait to see the wedding pictures, I'm sure you must both look great, and be beaming.
So all the way from Alaska, Lisa and I wish would like to propose another toast - I'm sure none of you mind another drink! - To many fun-filled years together that are rich in experience and happiness; to Gareth and Simone!
