父亲在女儿婚礼上的英语演讲，幽默风趣，字字句句都是一位父亲对女儿的爱，以及给自己女婿的忠告。父爱母爱在很多人眼中都爱得深沉，给自己孩子许多心理负担，但这位父亲的爱却让女儿没有任何负担，看女儿在婚礼上笑得前俯后仰，会不会让你忘记一个词叫“庄重”。
父亲的感人又幽默的演讲词中英对照：
Philip，I wanna tell you a story.And like all good stories，it starts like this：
Philip，我要跟你说个故事。而就像所有的好故事一样，它是像这样子开始的：
Once upon a time，there was a father，and in case you can‘t figure that out，that’s me.This father had a wonderful little boy.He was very happy.
从前从前，有一位父亲，万一你搞不清楚，那个人就是我。这位父亲有个很棒的小男孩。他非常开心。
Then one day，he found out that his wife was going to have another baby.So I prayed，“Lord，if it‘s Your Will，make her a little girl.”And He did.I was the first person to hold her in my arms.
接著有一天，他发现他的妻子即将有了另一个宝宝。所以我祈祷：“老天爷啊，如果这是您的旨意，让她是个小女孩吧。”而祂答应了。我是第一个将她抱在怀里的人。
And I looked at her，and I said，“Lord，make her like her mother.”And He did.She was loving，giving，so good and so kind.
然后我看着她，我说：“老天爷啊，让她像她妈妈吧。”然后祂办到了。她深情、奉献、很好心又很仁慈。
But then I realized I was getting left out.So I said，“Lord，make her like me.”And He did.She could drive a truck and a tractor.She could load hay and chew tobacco.Do you realize what you’re getting？
但接下来我了解到我给遗漏了。所以我说：“老天爷啊，让她像我吧。”然后祂照办了。她能够驾驶卡车和牵引机。她可以堆牧草还能嚼烟草。你知道你即将得到的是什么吗？
But at the same time，she was opinionated，emotional and hard-headed.So I said，“Lord，that‘s enough of that！Make her like You.”And He did.He gave her the desire to serve people.She loves people.She gave her life to being a nurse.She’s brought people back from the dead.And she‘s held the hand of people who have breathed their last breath.He gave her a heart for missions，and she’s trekked all over the world.Pushed canoes up swollen rivers，laid on the floor while bullets whizzed outside so she could tell people about Jesus.
但同时，她顽固、情绪化而且强悍。所以我说：“老天爷啊，那样足够了！让她像你吧。”而祂做到了。她给了她服务人群的渴望。她爱人们。她奉献一生当个护士。她曾把人从鬼门关给救回来。她曾握着那些咽下最后一口气的人们的手。她给了她传道的勇气，而她曾艰苦跋涉了千山万水遍及世界。推独木舟逆着涨水的河流而上、子弹呼啸在外时卧伏在地，如此而能够向人们传播耶稣的福音。
But still something was missing，so I said，“Lord，make her happy.”And she met you.Did you see that look on her face？I never saw that until she met you.And I‘m grateful for that.Today I’m giving you the best thing I have to give.
但仍然缺少某个东西，所以我说：“老天爷啊，让她快乐吧。”然后她遇见了你。你看到了她脸上的那表情吗？直到她遇见了你我才见到那表情。而我因此心怀感激。今天我要将我所拥有能够施予最棒的东西交给你。
I just want you to know before I do that，how hard me and God has worked to get her ready.So Philip，as I give her to you，I don‘t think you’ll mind if I give you one more word of advice.Me and God‘s worked hard.Don’t screw it up！
在我那样做之前，我只是想要你知道，老天爷和我是已经多么地努力将她给准备好。所以Philip，当我将她交给你之时，我不认为你会介意如果我多给你一句忠告。老天爷和我已经很努力了。别搞砸了！
