Wedding speech.

Can somebody please proofread this for me:

PATTY SAY IN CHINESE AND ENGLISH. Welcome to everyone. Thank you all
for coming and joining us to celebrate Katherine and Terry’s wedding. For our Chinese
and English-speaking guests, I will speak Chinese and my son, Darrel will translate into
English. DARREL WILL START TRANSLATION. I am so happy so many guests from
both families traveled from different states and some came as far as Australia, Taiwan
and China.

First I like to introduce both sides of the family. Grandmother, grandfather, and Terry’s
father Tony and mother Joy and sister Jasmine.

As the mother of the bride, I will follow the tradition and say a few words. Since
Katherine was born, she has developed into a very nice young person, she has always
been self sufficient, always planning ahead and knows what she wants. I have never
had to worry about her. She’s very independent starting from grammar school to
graduating college and pursing her career. Currently she is attending graduate school
and her 5-years goal from today is to get her CPA license and have children. She has
developed into a very nice young person, she is respectful, kind and very thoughtful of
her grandparents and myself. She is a good granddaughter and good daughter. And I am
very proud of her and greatful to have her in my life.

Katherine and Terry met each other 5 years ago in California. They were introduced by
the maid of honor Marico. I am so happy Katherine and Terry found each other and they
get along so well. Terry is well-mannered, very respectful and considerate, always happy
and smiling with a good personality.

My friends ask me if I feel sad about my daughter getting married. I can say very loudly,
that I am very happy and totally relaxed because my daughter Katherine is marrying a
good husband. And I am gaining another son in our family.

Please join me in a toast to send best wishes for a long and happy marriage for Katherine
and Terry.

I'm telling these because when I posted my reply the first time, I had just realised I hadn't logged in yet; I did it and I rewrote the reply, but it was posted yet, under somebody else's name; what now?
