The sample text
I’ve known the groom since we were kids, and I can honestly say he has never been more genuinely happy than he is today. From the moment he met his now-wife, I could tell this was different. I could tell this was something special. They balance each other perfectly, and anyone who has spent time with them can see how much they support one another. Please raise your glasses and join me in a toast to the happy couple.

What this does and does not show
A wedding speech is read aloud once, so a writer drafting it on paper is far more likely than a professional editor to leave in an accidental repeated phrase, since there is no second pair of eyes checking for it the way there would be for a published article. The excerpt above repeats "I could tell this was" across two short sentences, which reads fine aloud as intentional emphasis but can look like a rough-draft leftover on the page.
Paste your speech draft into the free repetition checker before the big day: it will list any repeated sentence or common three-word phrase so you can decide, sentence by sentence, whether the repetition is a deliberate rhetorical device or something to trim.
