Wedding Speech - inital draft

by

I'm planning to give a short congratulatory speech at my friends' wedding. This is an initial draft:

I met R and V back in 2018 in Portugal, where we were all part of the same Erasmus scholarship program. That was a massive change for me, because it was the first time I had ever left my local Hungarian environment. Having them as my first international friends friends has been a genuinely life-changing experience. I feel really privileged that I got to watch their relationship unfold from the beginning . This moment today is also a life-changing experience, because it’s a beautiful milestone for the world we have all built together since then. R and V, you are an incredible team, and I'm so proud to see how far you've come. Thank you for having me here to celebrate your special day. To a lifetime of love and adventure. Cheers!

First edit: I felt like the speech sounds more about me then them so I edited it a little:

I met R and V back in 2018 in Portugal, during our Erasmus program. As someone who had never left my local Hungarian environment before, stepping into that international world was terrifying - until I met them. And they set the bar incredibly high for what international friends should be. I feel really privileged that I got to watch their relationship unfold from the beginning. Standing here today, seeing everyone gathered, it’s clear that the warmth and love they share hasn't just built a life for the two of them - it has built a whole community of people who adore them. R and V, you are an incredible team, and I am so proud to see how far you've come and the beautiful future you're building. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. To a lifetime of love and adventure. Cheers!
