Maltese Wedding Speech - Hey,

My best buddy is getting married to a girl originally from Malta, so much of her family is travelling to Canada to attend.

I am Master of Ceremonies and would love to be able to say part of my routine in Maltese.

I have heard a few of these \"attempts\" at weddings, and usually the pronunciation of the unknown language is horid and although a nice gesture, not what I want.

I would like to get up and deliver something that is so perfect, people will think I was born there!

Any help would be appreciated!

Peter
