Hi all,

My mate is getting married in a months time and unfortunately he is a Palace fan (I know, I know)!

I’m seeking some ideas how I can ‘nicely’ poke fun at the fact he supports Palace (along with half the room!). Any ideas welcome, somehow comparing marriage to supporting palace is my thinking! :)

Thanks

I had to do this last year. Generally just laid into Croydon, Selhurst, their horrible purple kit and basically that they weren’t Brighton.

Biggest laugh I got though was when I referred to them as the Stripey Nigels. Turned out the rest of the room (Southampton, Pompey, Spurs and Arsenal fans mainly plus a couple of other Brighton and Palace fans) had never heard of the name before.

Can’t you find out where he will be spending his wedding night and lay a cable for him to find in his en-suite? I’m sure he’ll see the funny side of it.

Personally I wouldn't overdo it on the anti Palace jokes as from what you've said only half the room is likely to understand and appreciate the rivalry. You risk the other the other half politely laughing but in reality not having a clue.

One of the classic pit falls of a best man's speech is one too laden with in jokes. I went to a wedding a few years back and the groom and best man had been mates in the marines together along with a handful of the rest of the room. Way too many bootneck jokes meant the speech fell a bit flat :(

Hope the marriage lasts as long as the plans to build a new stand at Selhurst

Have you thought about tying a really tatty banner with some illiterate, meaningless crap scrawled on it across the front of the top table, and then claiming to be the best wedding guests in the entire world?
