On behalf of president Xu Who could not attend today， I would like to first express our cordial gratitude to you for inviting us to this wonderful wedding reception. Also， I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the newly weds， Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
I happen to know the Groom， Mr. John Brown quite well， through our business dealings between his company and mine. I believe Mr. Brown is by far the most competent and efficient businessman I have ever met. Obviously， his competence and efficiency even outside of his profession have also been proved， from the fact that he has today married such a beautiful and intelligent bride. Mr. Brown， with your youth and talent， I am sure that you will have a very happy married life.
Let me say congratulations again to you both， and I hope you will not work too hard and leave your wife alone too often.
Congratulations！
由于是正式的场合，所以选择稍显夸张的用词，比较能够为整个演说增添一丝情趣。不妨加入一些衬托新人优点与魅力的插曲。然而切忌趁机“华众取宠”，过于隐私性的插曲只会使人扫兴。
