Cupid's Pulse Article: Bill Murray Discusses Speaking at George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin’s WeddingCupid's Pulse Article: Bill Murray Discusses Speaking at George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin’s Wedding

By Maggie Manfredi

Who wasn’t at this wedding? Well, we can tell you who was there: Saturday Night Live alum Bill Murray, according to UsMagazine.com. Murray said,“I did speak. I did get to say something. I can’t really recreate it, but it was something about the fact that — a lot of people, it seemed, put their lives on hold until these people [George and Amal] found their happiness. Because they’re both very, very, very good people and very considerate and thoughtful of their friends and families. So the idea that they got it now is liberating. It really is liberating to see them alive and in love.” A sweet sentiment from this famous funny guy. 

What are three important things to say in a wedding toast?

Cupid’s Advice:

1. Be sincere: Speak from the heart and say what you feel. If the love is there right in front of you, it won’t be hard to find the words.

2. Share a story: Everyone likes a blast from the past, or a great memory. Don’t be afraid to add something from your own memory about the newly wedded couple.
