trying to write a wedding speech about how much I love Him...

... and I'm utterly, utterly, utterly stuck.

How to generate words which convey the depths of how much I love him... without offending anyone who doesn't or hasn't loved?

How to express the hope I possess for our relationship... without coming across as condemning all those who have condemned us?

We all need more reminders of the power of love... don't hold back (from one who hasn't known that kind of love).

This day is about you and your finance. It is wonderful that you are worried about those who may not like your message or may struggle with it.
But you are not responsible for everyone else, you couldn't possibly get it right for everyone anyway.

These people are all adults and they are all responsible for their own responses and their emotional awareness - just as you are for yours.
Worrying about them does you great credit, but you cannot take the responsibility for anyones maturity away from them.

Write for your fiance. You will never speak to him like that again. This is for HIM, not for the others. They are privileged to be allowed to hear you speak it.
Speak with love, with pride and with conviction - that's the only way to be truthful.

Good luck - and I hope he knows what an incredibly lucky man he is!
