Weddings are amongst the most joyous events ever. When you attend a friend's or a relative's wedding ceremony or reception, you can't help but to feel happy even merely as a guest. Imagine how happy the bride and groom are! Of course, as happy as the bride and groom may be, at least one of them would feel nervous for some reasons, and having to deliver a wedding speech in front of the guests, for instance, can be one of the good reasons. As the bride or (more typically) the groom, one might get the tingling feeling of having butterflies in the stomach before delivering your speech.
So, for Tom Fletcher, who is the frontman of McFly, a boy band from the U.K that I adore, his turn was in May last year when he got married to beautiful Giovanna. Tom isn't the kind of person who looks forward to public speaking, so instead of saying out his speech, he sang it. And he did it wonderfully.
Tom uploaded the video of his wedding speech on his YouTube channel about two months ago. I finally got to watch it and I couldn't help but to smile and also go "aww..." for these reasons:
1) I smiled because Tom creatively made a rendition of six McFly's songs as his speech by using the songs' tunes but wittily changed the lyrics to express how he really felt.
2) I also smiled because some of the lines that came out were funny yet fitting.
3) I went "aww..." because Tom's words through his singing really reflected his gratitude towards everyone who had been there for him.
4) I also went "aww..." because Tom was able to be so sincere and on-point when he reached the parts about his band mates (Harry, Dougie, and Danny), his parents, and parents-in-law. :')
Tom made use of the songs 'Obviously', 'Star Girl' 'Sorry's Not Good Enough', 'Room on the 3rd Floor', 'The Heart Never Lies', and 'All About You'. My top favourite McFly songs are in the list! I think McFly's fans are able to relate to the video more meaningfully since the song tunes are familiar to us, but non-fans will be able to see the beauty of this special wedding speech too.
This is the video of Tom's wedding speech:
0:25 - 1:37 --- Rendition of 'Obviously' as the opening of Tom's speech
1:38 - 2:43 --- Rendition of 'Star Girl' as the speech to Tom's ushers, Gi's brother, the tailor, McFly's manager
2:44 - 4:56 --- Rendition of 'Sorry's Not Good Enough' as the speech to Gi's bridesmaids, sister, Tom's sister
4:57 - 6:50 --- Rendition of 'Room on the 3rd Floor' as the speech to fellow McFly members
6:51 - 10:17 --- Rendition of 'The Heart Never Lies' as the speech to Tom's parents and Gi's parents
10:21 - End --- Rendition of 'All About You' as the speech to Giovanna the bride
Here are the music videos for each of the mentioned McFly's songs:

So, what do you think of Tom's speech?
I personally adore it. He was being sincere, creative, and funny throughout his song-speech. How lovely!
Now, I feel like heading to the music store to buy more McFly CDs or DVDs. I hope this amazing band will receive more attention and love from people all around the world.
In term of their personal lives, I hope that they're always happy with the ones they love. So far, two of them (Tom and Harry) are married. Tom tied the knot in May 2012. For Harry, it was in December 2012. Even if they face hardships, I hope they'll stay strong and shout out "Aaa...I'll be okay~" like one of their songs.
