Nicola, I have known you since I was 12, making it around 16 years now and I feel honoured to be at your wedding.

You made me prepare for a toast even though I made it clear I am terrible at that sort of thing :)

Everyone here has known you as different things - a friend to me, a sister to Rhona and Gordon, a daughter to your folks, an actress, an engineer :) - but now also as a wife to Pieter. Yyou have never looked as beautiful as you do today!

I dont really know Pieter well, but based on all the nice things everyone who does know him has said about him, I am so grateful that he has become part of your life.

So here is my prepared toast: As you slide down the banister of life together, may the splinters always point in the right direction!
