She did this by relating some cherished memories of love, love lost, new love found, and the hope of true ever-lasting love.
George Hast	So you have to give a speech	John Keeton	George reviewed the anatomy of a speech. A well-constructed speech has an opening, a body, and a closing. One needs to project confidence, provide 3 main points in the body of the speech, and transition smoothly through the speech between points. The conclusion or summary should foment the audience to personal action.
