As Elle got out of the entrance doorway, the emcee suddenly said in amazement, "Here she comes ladies and gents! Oh my, she resembles a beautiful princess!" The visitors applauded cheerfully as Elle Smith stood in front of them with a happy smile on her angelic, beautiful face. As the crowd stopped clapping their hands, Elle said joyfully, "I want to thank all of you for coming to my birthday. This is so special for me. To my Dad and Mom, thank you for everything. You are both loving, caring and supportive to me. I will do my best to be a good and responsible daughter to both of you, Mom, Dad. I love you so much, Mom, Dad.

Let us all enjoy the night here. Since it is holiday tomorrow, so ladies and gents, have fun, let us make the most of it and treasure it in our hearts. I love you all!" Elle said as she looked at them with a wink and a sweet smile. She sat on the single couch that was intended for her. Her parents seated both on her sides. As everyone seated, they listened to the emcee's remarks, "May I call in Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Smith for the beautiful speech for their daughter, Miss Elle Smith." The parents stood up and walked toward the center stage. They both smiled at Elle as they looked from her side to the visitors. Mr. Jerry Smith cleared his throat and said over the microphone, "Good evening, everyone! We thank you all for coming to our daughter's important celebration, for making this successful because of your valuable presence tonight. To our beautiful princess, Happy, happy birthday to you, sweetie! Enjoy your eighteen years, make it memorable. Your Mom and I are always here for you no matter what, Elle. We love you always." Mr. Jerry Smith smiled at Elle and gave the microphone to his wife. Mrs. Bess Smith said happily, "Happiest Birthday to my beautiful daughter! Always be happy and take care of yourself all the time. Even your Dad and I are so much busy, I know Andrew and Nanny Ann are also there to look after you, sweetie. Our Saturday night vibe is still there. Nothing will change. I love you, Elle and enjoy the night away!" And to everyone who is present here tonight, warmest gratitude to all of you! And to Miss Michelle Ryans, good job! To Miss Lea Stan and Miss Bea Dean, thank you to both of you for making our princess most beautiful, young lady tonight. Everyone, have a blast!" Mrs. Bess Smith added happily.
