program help - need a good writer for editing...

Trying to come up with the opening paragraph for our program.
I want to say something along the lines of...

Thank you to all of our family and friends for sharing in our special day. Today would not be possible without two of our very good friends, Janis & Raymond. They introduced us three years ago and our lives changed for the best. We are extremely fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our lives. We look forward to celebrating many more joyous occasions together.

We also want to give a special thank you to our parents who have given us unconditional love and support throughout our lives. Thank you for making it possible to celebrate our wedding just as we have dreamed. Words can not express our appreciation for all you have done and continue to do for us.
