I didn't come up here to wish Ian and Jess good luck. I came up to say that I don't need to wish them good luck.
Now, I guess I should explain that...
As some of you know, I've known Ian and Jes for quite a few years. About two years ago, I had no job and no real prospects. They let me into their home gave me a room to stay in while I got my bum self on my feet.
And, of course, even after I got on my feet, California rent prices being what they are... well, it works a little better if you've got three or four people to a house. (Which is how we picked up Dom.)
Anyway, the point is, I've seen them up close.
Now, I've never been married, but I have it on good authority that a marriage is about ten percent being in love and ninety percent really hard work.
They are in love. You don't have to live with them to see that. They've got that ten percent covered.
But I've also seen them when the chips are down. And there's going to be obstacles. Definitely some small ones, definitely some medium ones, and maybe some big ones. That's just life.
I can tell you, they're a team. Whatever life throws at them, they're going to face together. They already do. Marriage is just a technicality at this point. As a man named Ray Smuckles* once said "Just put the symbolic ring on. The real ring went on basically when you met."
That's why I don't have to wish them good luck. They're going to make their own good luck.
*When Jes requested an Achewood quote in the speech, she was hoping I was going to call her a "vittles bitch." No such luck.
