Abstract or Introduction

All in all the speech should be serious and emotionally touching but in order to underline my point I was also trying to put some funny parts into it (as the short example part illustrates).

Short part of the speech:

My most favorite slogans were: “love does not need marriage”, “security brings laziness” and “marriage is a control mechanism”. To underline my point, I quoted Homer Simpson as a representative of a common understanding of marriage:

>Homer Simpson to Mel Gibson: You see this? [he holds up Marge's hand, to show her wedding ring] It symbolizes that she's my property, and I own her.<

It took me some time to realize that Homer Simpson is no quotable authority, and that marriage is not as bad as I thought it to be. Actually, I am going to marry next summer...

How can I take responsibility for that in front of myself? What has changed?
