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!
由於是正式的場合，所以選擇稍顯誇張的用詞，比較能夠爲整個演說增添一絲情趣。不妨加入一些襯托新人優點與魅力的插曲。然而切忌趁機“華衆取寵”，過於隱私性的`插曲只會使人掃興。
notes：
express cordial gratitude: 表達由衷的感謝
extend our warmest congratulations to:獻上我們最誠摯的祝福
bridegroom:新郎
business dealings or business transactions:生意往來
