Hello Friends – I welcome everyone to my birthday party!

It feels slightly awkward to be celebrating my birthday like this at this stage of my life when I am married and have a 2 year old baby. I already feel so blessed and happy having such a wonderful wife by my side and my baby who mean the whole world to me. I feel so complete and really enjoying my married life. And now this birthday party has come as a huge surprise to me, of course I am pleasantly surprised. Little do I realize that my birthday party would be planned this grand and all my favorite people would be present here.

I will have to applaud the efforts of my wife and extend a huge thank you to her for doing all this for me. However, she wrested the responsibility of delivering the welcome speech on me, which I haven’t liked! Ha-ha, of course I am not prepared for it, right! So it’s an impromptu and whatever I am saying is coming straight from my heart. I am feeling extremely emotional today seeing all this. I am sure it must have taken her a month at least to prepare for all this. Right from choosing the venue to making all the requisite arrangements to inviting all my friends must have been quite a task and on the top of this handling our super naughty baby. No word can well convey my emotions that I am currently experiencing.

Last, but not the least, I would want to thank all my friends for making to my birthday party despite all odds. I am sure you must be having other priorities too but you sidelined everything just to be here. It feels amazing to be together here like this after so long as I clearly remember we all gathered like this; 3 years back on our friend’s destination wedding.

Let me assure you friends we are again going to have a gala time together. Before going for the cake cutting, I want to make an announcement that you can feel free here and let your children enjoy amongst themselves. Here is one section dedicated to children which has all the toys and games so send your children there without having to worry about them.

Now let’s go to the cake cutting area.

With this, I would like to end my speech and thank you all once again for patiently listening to me and being so sporting.

Cheers!
