"Hi everyone, I am Megan Bailey, for those of you that don’t know I am Ali’s younger and SINGLE sister!! So just like any maid of honor or best man, I think it’s safe to say that there are very few people who look forward to giving a speech in front of 250 people. Needless to say in true youngest child form I have been procrastinating and sweating this moment for months.
While I thought of numerous embarrassing stories to help describe my happiness for Ali and Adrian, I then remember it’s not a roast it’s a toast. Maybe Ali and Adrian’s grandparents don’t want to hear about Ali cutting my hair and putting me in a closet, or the time in high school when my friend and I went up to visit my sister in college and she took us to parties.Instead you might want to hear about the difference between Adrian and all the other guys Ali has dated (don’t worry this won’t take long).
While I haven’t always met every guy there was a definite difference with Adrian. With most guys Ali didn’t offer much information, she mostly kept to herself but when she met Adrian I knew something was different. She spent an entire Montana family vacation talking about him, asking for advice, wondering and then talking about him some more. Quickly after that trip we began to hear more and more about what a sweet, kind and giving person Adrian is. Once we got back from vacation I learned first hand not only how great Adrian was but; how great they were together. Ali and Adrian have never made me feel more comfortable as their third wheel. Not only are these two easy-going but also, they always bring out the best in each other. Never did I think anyone would get my sister to love sports as much as Adrian can. Good luck with Sundays Ali!
To Ali you continue to wow me everyday and I am so glad you found your prince and to Adrian I am so happy to have another brother. I just want to warn you Adrian you’re really gaining two sassy redheads with this deal. I look across the room and know that each and everyone has had an impact on Ali and Adrian’s lives and has shaped them into the amazing people they are today. Ali has had more than enough nicknames in her life and as some of you know us Bailey’s LOVE a good nickname, right Buster Boy? Whether it was Ally Cat by her father, Alice in the hood, Bails in high school, ABails, Al, Sister Bear, C&V or The Cat. Today I want us to raise our glasses and toast to Ali’s new name Alison Ann Marasigan. I couldn’t be happier for my sister to have found the perfect guy. Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Marasigan."
