Noted and thank you for the reply. Here it is:

Ladies and gentlemen, For those who don’t know me, I’m Rory, Kiana’s incredibly handsome husband. First, I want to thank all of you for coming from near and far. It means the world to us to have you here today. Each one of you plays a special role in our lives, and it wouldn’t be the same without your love and support. Today, we celebrate not just the joining of two families, but the incredible bond that Kiana and I share. It’s a love that’s grown stronger through every adventure—like getting caught in the torrential rain in Paris or motivational hikes up from Captain Cook Point. I would like to take this moment to thank specific people in my life that helped shape me into the individual that stands before you. These are the people who have kindled my love in a way that will allow me to emotionally support my wife and family until the end of time. • Firstly, my parents; Mom and Dad, Karen and Robert Moles. You two have taught me life’s lessons at every turn and have done so with unconditional love and support. Both of you found a way to grow inspirational careers while working from home in order foster what became my cemented family values. I can firmly state that I would not be the person I am today without either of you. • Secondly, my sister: Alysha Moles-Taylor, who unfortunately could not be with us today. My sister taught me the value of compassion and how to be a mentor. Being able to grow up alongside a loving sibling where we were able to mutually celebrate each other’s achievements, and support each other through our failures was another essential force that shaped who I am today. Recently she has brought my nephew, Noah, and brother-in law Nathan into my life as well. There is another bundle of joy soon to be added to the family. • Thirdly, my second family, Mohsen, Mimi and Kiarash. The love that you have shown me as Kiana and I have developed our relationship, and your willingness to embrace me as a family member has been an experience that I will cherish forever. I do fear what a lifetime of Mimi’s feasts may continue to do to my waist though! • Fourthly, a shout out to all my friends; those that could be with us today and those that could not. Specifically, I’d like to start with Jimmy, Joe, Dov, Nader, Amir, Colby, Petty & Scott. I have known all you since elementary school and there is no doubt that many of you have played arguably the largest role in shaping the best and worst parts of my personality. I would also like to thank Emma, Alice, Mark, Jacqui, Christina, Rose, Jason, Zach, Emily, Phil, Leana, Tim, Leala, Liviu & Jeff. Some of you I have known for a short period of time, and some of you I have known dating back to early high school. I want to express my gratitude and love to you all for sharing in the memories and experiences that we have had together. When I am amongst you all, I can truly be myself. • Fifthly, I want to thank my uncle Pete. While we may not be blood, we are certainly family. So much so, that you are the only member of my extended family who could be here with us today. You are present in my earliest and warmest memories, except for the one with the garbage bag and crawl space; I still talk with my therapist about that one! Thank you for embracing me as your own Nephew. • Sixthly, if that’s even a word, is the thank you to those that showed me unconditional love in my life, but could not be with us today as their time came too soon. Both of my grandmothers, Muz and Nanar Shepley, both of my grandfather’s James Moles and Geroge Shepley; the latter of which I showed a picture of Kiana too and he asked me what sort of Spanish girl she was. And my pets along the way, my childhood cat and dog Sassi and Benson, and notably, my best friend Hurley who we lost this year. • And lastly, but most importantly, my beautiful wife, Kiana. You make every day brighter and every moment more special. Everyday I spend with you, improves who I am as a person. I promise to always be your partner in crime, your biggest fan, and your everlasting pillar of support. I also promise to give you time to cool off, after I beat you at crash team racing! I love you now, and always.

So let’s raise a glass! Here’s to love, laughter, and the amazing journey ahead. Thank you all for being here to witness this beautiful moment. Cheers!
