Kuub shundur!! Hi, I’m Sadia. Also Bengali. I have no right to ask but why did you not give this beautiful tribute at the wedding?! I have nothing nice to say about my brother but I came up with usable content 😂 and gave the sibling speech bc my sister in law asked me. You have so much to say! I hope your sister appreciates the depth of feeling you have. It’s a beautiful thing!!

Aww thank you Sadia! I would loved to have made the toast but we were told there was no mic at the venue and no one else had prepared anything so. Maybe at one of my other siblings weddings haha. Hope your speech went well inshallah!

Ah, that makes sense. Oh, you have more opportunity to say something... that's good! Yes, I spent two months writing and practicing my speech for my brother's wedding. Everyone thinks I am an only child, lol, so there was a lot of pressure to make it good. One and done!
