Welcome ladies and gentlemen,
Today is a special day in so many ways. We feel exceptionally blessed and fortunate to be able to share today with all of you. (Describe in your words).

(Describe on Program type/objective of today’s program).
Speaking of miles, we have all come a long way together. Some of you have been around and part of our [family/community/society/group/church/school/ business] for a long time, while others may have only been welcomed more recently. (Explain all about the program schedule and ceremony).

Long may our friendship and fellowship continue.
