On behalf of all the employees invited tonight， I would like to extend our congratulations to President and Mrs. Johnson for the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.

Twenty-five years seems like such a long time， especially to a man like me who got married only recently. I seriously wish I would be able to learn from President and Mrs. Johnson about the secret of having a happy and enduring marriage.

Customarily， a gift of silver is given on the twenty-fifth anniversary. We observe that custom， and would like to present a pair of silver 'jeou’ cups to honor your marriage. with these cups， I'm sure your marriage will always be in a high 'spirit'

Congratulations， President and Mrs. Johnson！

Notes：

1.in a high spirit： 濃郁甘醇

2.a silver 'jeou' cup 銀酒杯

3.在這種紀(jì)念典禮上幾乎多半祝賀當(dāng)事者婚姻的“漫長”和“久遠(yuǎn)”，不過切忌使用“l(fā)ong”或“old”之類的字眼。尤其在崇尚“年輕”文化的歐美，“old”屬負(fù)面形象。因以“enduring”（持久）等詞來為“老舊”的婚姻事實賦予光明的形象。
