That's right. She's my little sister.
She is SO beautiful!
Oh, thank you. I love her wedding dress.
Well, I'm glad you speak English. Where did you learn to
speak English?
I practice virtual conversations over the radio on a show
called "EIKAIWA TIME TRAIL."
And I heardnthat you will say a few words tonight. What are
you going to say?
Well, I'll say "congratulations" and I'll share some memories
of my sister with everyone.
Well, the beautiful couple should be online soon. By e way,
what are you drinking?
I'm having some sparkling wine.
Oh! Here are the bride and groom online! All right! Well,
everyone, here's to our virtual wedding ceremony online
together!
Here's to the bride and groom! Cheers!

Steve's Review

オンラインですが、よろしくお願いします。
It's nice to virtually meet you.
※ Nice to meet you. に It is(It's) を加えると丁寧な表現になる

新婦は妹さんじゃないですか？
Isn't the bride your sister?
※ older や younger などつけずに sister のみでもよく使う

そうです
That's right.

私の妹です
She's my little sister.
※ 妹は younger sister でも OK　だが、親しみを込めた表現として、
little sister / baby sister とも言うことができる
