An Anniversary Speech - True-Life Example
I want to thank you all for joining us here today to
celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Jessica
O'Connor, aka Mom, to Lorenzo David Brizio,
otherwise known as Dad.
It's incredible to consider, but it's half a century
since this lovely, blonde haired, blue-eyed, fair
skinned Irish-German damsel was courted, wooed and
ultimately won by her handsome and swarthy Sicilian
suitor.
You know, we Brizios have always thought it was kind
of funny to note how on Mom's side of the family,
there were lots of folks who found their way into
careers in law enforcement. And on Dad's side of the
family, well, NOBODY was in law enforcement.
They met on a blind date. The year was 1953 and the
place was an American Legion Post. It was a dance.
Dad was swept away by Mom's beauty. And Mom was
truly impressed by Dad's 1940 Nash. As I understand
it, that was one HOT car.
They got married in Queens, on April 3, 1956. It was
Dad's job to pick up the wedding cake at a Brooklyn
bakery. He drove really slow because it was snowing
on that early April day, and besides, he didn't want
to ruin the cake. Dad was excited, and on top of the
world during that interminable drive to Queens. But
all the drivers who got stuck behind him weren't as
happy. He saw more fingers that morning than a busy
manicurist sees in a week.
Believing strongly in the symbolism of symmetry, Mom
and Dad, whom, as I said, were married on April 3,
1956, celebrated their first anniversary by
heralding the arrival, a year to the day, of their
first child, daughter Nicole Ann Brizio. She was --
and is -- my big sister. I was the next family
member to arrive, Frank Brizio, and I was born on
April 6, 1959. Third was sister Marie Brizio, on
March 7, 1962. And finally, everybody's little
sister, Dina Brizio, who was born on November 6,
1964. Mom and Dad were prolific, yes. And the lesson
was NOT lost on the Brizio children. Between the
four of us, we've got seven wonderful kids of our
own -- and that means seven fantastic grandchildren
for Mom and Dad.
Mom and Dad both love to cook -- just not at the
same time, or at least, not in the same kitchen. Dad
loves a nice Manhattan -- with, before or after his
meal. Or, on occasion, all of the above. Mom's drink
is a classic martini, the silver bullet. And if she
has enough of them, just listen carefully and you'll
hear how that old Brooklyn accent comes bubbling
right up to the surface. Gin is an amazing thing!
Our folks are God-loving, church-going people. And
along with religion, they also have great faith in
the Phoenix Suns. In fact, they've been season
ticket holders since the Suns first came to town in
1968. They love baseball, too, and they're big
Diamondback fans. They really support the ones they
love. They always have. And nobody knows that better
than their children and their grandchildren.
To Jessica and Lorenzo, Mom and Dad, two of the
greatest people who happen to be our parents, and
grandparents, our thanks to you for all that you've
done, and our deepest, dearest love for all that you
are. May you have another fifty years together, with
great joy, great health, great peace and great
satisfaction. You simply and truly deserve nothing
less.
Love
Frank
