Thank you for joining, everyone!
I hope you’re all having a wonderful time celebrating this beautiful day with us. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Sunita, Arjun’s mother. Today is one of the most emotional and joyous days of my life, and I’m so grateful to be standing here as we celebrate the love and marriage of my son and his lovely bride, Priya.
You know, as mothers, we often have so many hopes for our children. We hope they grow up healthy and strong, that they follow their dreams, and—though we don’t always say it out loud—that they find someone to love who understands them, challenges them, and stands by their side. Watching Arjun marry Priya today, I feel like all of those wishes have come true.
From the moment Arjun was born, he brought such light and laughter into our home. He was the curious one, always asking questions, never content with just one answer. As he grew up, his curiosity turned into drive, and his sense of humor turned into a way of bringing people together. But no matter how independent he became, one thing never changed—his heart. He’s always had a big heart, and today, it’s filled with love for Priya.
When Arjun first introduced Priya to our family, I could see immediately that she was special. Not only did she fit in so easily, but there was something about the way they looked at each other, something unspoken but undeniable. It was clear from the very beginning that they shared something deep—a bond built on mutual respect, friendship, and love. Priya, from the moment you entered our lives, you’ve brought so much warmth, and today I feel so proud to welcome you as my daughter. Thank you for loving Arjun, for being his partner, and for being the wonderful person that you are.
In Indian culture, marriage is not just the union of two people, but the merging of two families, two histories, and two sets of traditions. Today, we’re not just celebrating Arjun and Priya’s love story, but also the beautiful way our families have come together. As we stand here tonight, surrounded by all our loved ones, I feel immense pride in how much love and support we’ve all shared in this journey.
Arjun, you’ve always been a source of joy for me, but seeing you today, standing next to Priya, fills my heart with a kind of happiness I can’t fully describe. You’ve found someone who not only loves you but brings out the very best in you. Together, you and Priya are stronger, happier, and truly complete. Watching you both embark on this new journey, I know that whatever life throws your way, you will handle it with grace, humor, and love.
Now, as your mother, I feel like I should offer a little bit of advice—because, after all, what’s a mother without a few words of wisdom, right? Marriage is a partnership, and like any partnership, it’s built on trust, patience, and a lot of laughter. There will be moments when life doesn’t go as planned—sometimes even something as simple as deciding what to cook for dinner can be a challenge! But always remember to talk, to listen, and to support each other through it all. The little moments, the shared cups of chai in the morning or the quiet walks in the evening, will be the foundation of the big memories you create together.
Priya, I’m so happy you’ve found Arjun. And Arjun, I’m so proud of the man you’ve become. Together, you two are a perfect match.
So tonight, let’s all raise our glasses to Arjun and Priya. May your marriage be filled with love, joy, and endless adventures. May you always find reasons to laugh, even in the challenging moments, and may your love continue to grow deeper with every passing year.
To the bride and groom—cheers!
