A museum is actually filled with awards and memorabilia from the past.

Could use a variation of the above on a cleaning option

Anywhere in the world, how do you know that Tottenham lost? Because it’s Saturday.

I wish it had helped me ....I've done a best man's one ...spoken at both my parents funerals and the one I still cringe over is my daughters wedding ...must have rewritten it ten times and should have stuck with the first draft

ps all the best Lenny it's such a proud and special moment

Compliment your daughter, tell her how proud you & Mum are of her, lightly rib your son in law, and then toast them. If you have a funny story from when your daughter was very young, and not too embarrassing, then add that.
Keep it simple.

With pre-match drink taken, my Best Man speech at my brother's wedding didn't get off to the best of starts when I said I'd like to thank the parents of both the brides. Which I might just about have got away with. Except the bride's parents were both dead :down:

Are you confident enough to do it without notes, I wasn’t, but then you are comfortable with public speaking. It’ll be fine

For my best man outing just a handful of little cue cards were there as back up in case of nerves.

For me I always thought the classic errors are trying to be too clever and/or too many 'in' jokes that only a small portion of your audience would get.

Was this a mormon wedding?

Off topic I suppose Ian but could you somehow get someone through the oven without anyone checking who is inside?
Asking for a friend.

And of course good luck for the weekend .
You’ll cry.

Incorporate a few plays on new undertakings, burying the past, digging a grave, etc.

MattBackHome · Sep 12, 2024

Make sure that it's personal and heartfelt. Good luck and hope it goes well Harty.

I'd be interested to know what AI would write. I'm not interested enough to find out myself though.

These are always a useful backup - just go to a stationers or post office and buy a pack of blank postcards (not the ones with pictures of Worthing Pier!).

You can also hand them over afterwards as a momento of the day.

For a best man speech a few years back I made the point that the groom used to be a ladies man and it was the appropriate time for a key amnesty and for anyone with a key to his house to return them now with lout judgment.

Obviously prior to the speech I’d given. Keys to all bridesmaids (one by one they came up to the front) followed by the mother in law, which got the desired effect then topped off by the vicar also making himself known

I’m wasted in financial services

The best best man speech I've done I did off the cuff.
Half my mates are already divorced so you could say there's a 50% chance this is a complete waste of everyone's time!

You old romantic :lolol:

"I'm going to do this speech rather like the Groom's mother sang in church, with no real notes"

The beauty of any wedding speech is that the audience is so completely on your side, If you keep it clean and under 5 minutes, you'll wow them.

Surely a little moan that you missed the match.

You're making a big assumption there, it's only his daughter.

Wrong-Direction · Sep 12, 2024

I had to go to a family wedding the first game against Doncaster, was told don't bother coming after if you go to the game. Missed the match and haven't seen them since

So when’s the wedding

Father gives his daughter some last minute advice to calm her nerves while entering the church. He suggest she’s just focuses on the first 3 parts of the ceremony:
Aisle altar hymm
Aisle altar hymm
Aisle altar hymm

Half way down the aisle he hears his daughter whispering “I’ll alter him”
