Help writing a toast

[beth]

Hi! Not sure this is best area to post this request, but here goes! I'm trying to write a toast for my daughter's vow renewal ceremony - (in 10 days!) and I'm stuck on the 1st lines. Suggestions and help would be welcome! I miss my Dad who always wrote toasts for these events. So for the 1st lines, I have:

It started with a trip to Brazil...

Alternate 2nd lines:

And they knew it wasn't "run of the mill"

or- "and their chemistry was something to distill"

I don't like either of these very well, but can't think of much else. I have the rest of the toast pretty much the way I like it. Thanks!

Your lines are great! How about adding something related to them being not only a couple but also the best of friends?
