**Critique** the speech draft. Identify:
1. Any line that could land awkwardly with the wider audience, not just the couple
2. Pacing issues, sections that drag or arrive too fast
3. Whether the opening hooks attention and the closing lands cleanly
4. One specific rewrite suggestion for the weakest section

Numbered list of issues, each with the original line quoted and a suggested fix. End with a one-line verdict on overall readiness. Tone: honest, constructive, not harsh.
