Wedding Speech - Wine as the Metaphor?!
Wedding Speech - Wine as the Metaphor?
I'm working on a wedding speech for a friend.
Both my friend and future bride are wine obsessed. The love wine, drink wine, talk wine....
I want to write a speech using wine as the metaphor. My friends are not wine snobs, they are the first to admit... If a $6 bottle of wine is good for you, thats all the matters.
Does anyone have any ideas or cool suggestions for metaphors to be used.....or how I could incorporate this idea into my speech.
Thank

That shouldn't be too difficult I think.. For example, you could use the metaphor of ripe wines: Young wines (for example a Beaujolais nouveau or an Italian Novello) can be very good wines, usually light /fresh and good for a few glasses. But wines that are more 'mature' gain taste; they become more typical, more complex, eve fascinating sometimes, and their taste remains much longer. For them to develop good, they need to be handled with care.
A good marriage should develop like a good wine: fresh and soft at first - and as time proceeds it develops; it may get more complicated too, but - if treated well- it will definitely gain quality.
Marriage is like a bottle of wine! The more aged it becomes, the better it is!
I don't know. I thought it was corny, and cute!
I'm sure that might sound ridiculous, but... I like it.
Go rent a copy of the film "Sideways" and watch what Miles says to Maya about why he's devoted to Pinot Noir near the end of their first date.
