I sat down with my best man and we both tried to come up with some funny stories that would be appropriate for the attendees.

In all honesty we could only come up with one, and my best man forgot it when he was standing there in front of everyone. Fortunately a friend of mine, and one of the ushers, rescued him, told the story and everything was okay.

The reason we could only come up with one was not because there weren't any funny stories....there were hundreds. None of them were appropriate for the audience though.

My Bro's best man didn't make the wedding, so the brides brother filled in... WHat he said was great.

He told his sister to put out her hands palms up, he told my brother to rest his hands palms down ontop of hers.

Then her told his sister to tell my brother she loved him.
Then he told my brother to tell his sister he loved her.

Then he turned to everyone and said

"You just witnessed something you will NEVER see again, Brian ( my brother) Getting the upper hand and the last word."

Fit the moment so perfectly.

I did mine on the spot, which came out really good. It was my best friend so I didn't need to prepare a speech I had a lifetime of experience and stories to go on. I was just at a wedding where the best man had everything on cards, came out terrible. I felt embarassed for the guy.

Start with humor then the rest from the heart.

Earlier this morning I had a little chat with >bride< about marriage and how her life is going to change. I spoke about the hours in front of the kitchen sink, the washing of socks, unpaid secretary, social organiser, babysitter, cook, etc. No need to thank me now >groom<, but for the first couple of months >bride< said she’d be willing to help you out.
