In our 25th wedding anniversary reception, I had prepared these few words to speak at the end as vote of thanks; but as guests started to leave, I never was able to deliver the speech. I still have it typed-up in Google Keep app on my smartphone
Dear family and friends,
I hope all of you enjoyed this evening with us. As we are winding down tonight, Together with Shirangani and Stephanie, I'd like to thank all of you are present here. I know, some of you traveled long distance, some of you even with a very short notice. We very much appreciate that. As you know, Event such as this, doesn't just happen, lots of planning and preparation goes into it. Specially us not being living in Sri Lanka, that task was even more challenging. I'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our cousin sister Christine and her husband Sameera who tirelessly put this event together. We also would like to thank and appreciate all the support and help from both of our mothers, brothers, sisters, their children. Last, but not least, we also like to sincerely acknowledge, Rev Father Shanthi Kumar Weliwita, the management & staff of Malima Club House, CATS EYE GRAFIX for photographic services and the Band (………….)
