The Speech

Shannon told Holly and I that she got a boyfriend so, being our awesome selves, we wrote a speech for their wedding. It's not finished yet, we didn't get to write any of it this week because of exams but here's what we got so far.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Shannon Carey-Tooher and Ethan Tooher. I remember the day Shannon first told us about Ethan....... (Stares into space) sooooooo long ago. It was a cool winter morning, New Year's Day back in third year of secondary school. It was the day Shannon solmonly promised she would name her children Nially(Niamh and Holly) or Fred(Fred). We never forgot the day met Ethan(cause it hasn't happened yet)

I remember the day Shannon's bottle committed suicied. It was a hilariously tragic event that scarred Shannon for the rest of her life (wipes away tear). It was a cold autumn lunchtime, we were eating our lunch, minding our own business, being AWESOME, when Shannon noticed the bottle. Shannon claimed the bottle with 'It's mine'. Words she has regretted speaking ever sense. Shannon was messing with said bottle so the brilliant and fruity(😜) Holly took it. Shannon then retreaved said bottle but said bottle jumped off the table away from Shannon, nearly hitting both Niamh and Holly in the process.

After our leaving cert year, we purchased a hippie camper van (as was decided in the summer of 2014) and travelled Ireland, and then the world. The best summer EVER. As we travelled the world, being AWSOME, Ethan sat at home, calling Shannon. This was the only time Ethan and Shannon were ever truly apart, but Shannon needed this time to discover her inner hippie and be FREE. On our return Shannon and Ethan were reunited and never apart since, unless she with us, being AWSOME!

In her lifetime Shannon has had many jobs, most of which ended up with her being fired by Holly. A lot of the time she was fired due to her obsession with glee and uncontrollable feet. Shannon is a big part of the Old and New Testament of our bible. (blesses audience)

When we heard the Shannon would no longer be with us (moving schools) we were devastated. It was an 'I'm sorry for your Monday'. We immediately put together a plan to prevent this from happening. Plan A was to get a bomb from Shady Steve and blow up Kinnegad. Shady Steve was shady and didn't get us a bomb in time, and Shannon had already moved. It was time to move on to plan B. This plan was to get a bomb of Shifty Bob and blow up the school. We were unsure of how Shannon would return to our school from Kinnegad but that was a problem for another day. Niamh and I went to Kinnegad to scope out the area (Shannon does not believe us to this day, even though we took pictures) we planted the Bomb outside the school but alas it was not strong enough. Shannon attended said school until leaving cert but we stayed close and as awsome as we are now. And that's the story of how Shannon got her nickname 'The Bomb'.

Updates of the speech coming soon......
