I have been bushwhacked into giving two wedding speeches in the space of the next two weeks. One guy is my brother, the serial monogamist, who is marrying for the fourth time, and the other is a good friend who has decided to marry for the third time.

I thought the theme of my speeches should be "how to make this one last" - so it occurred to me to tap the Pelican brain trust on this subject.

There are many happily married Pelicans out there - and I would love to have your secrets, tips and advice.

I look forward to your comments - no matter how silly these may be.

By way of incentive I promise to post a copy of my speech to each person that replies - and you will then have a nice canned wedding speech for future occasions.

Many thanks in advance...

Mark
