Expensive hotel , food , drink etc. it’s the norm now like America to have the biggest best wedding or birthday for the photos and selfie brigade to plaster thier fake tan and shop eyebrows and pouting lips all over the web. In my eyes it’s a marquee in my field, mates do the hog roast. Local vicar turns up on his Harley with cigar in mouth( true person) does the deed then bang straight into ozzy,maiden ,thin lizzy etc etc Manage the first bits, let your hair down and enjoy the later bit Cheers, D.

gnasher16 29,601 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Ive done a few over the years i used to shit myself before any of that public speaking lark but now ive learned to relax and just have a giggle with it all you're going to offend someone so why worry....tactically my approach is to write down bullet points and just wing it with each of them.....theres nothing worse than hearing someone read a script its childlike. Later this year im best man for someone ive been best man for 3 times before ....beyond the treacles name im not sure what i can say that i havent said before ....what a f**k up the geezer ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borr 4,460 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 My mate had a speech written for his own wedding do... something like, my wife's sister was stood at the top of the stairs in her underwear gesturing me up , I turned on my heels and bolted out the front door, straight into my father in law , he hugged.me and said well done you've passed the test , so fellas let this be a lesson always keep your condoms in the car... I told him it was a bad idea imo , thankfully he didn't include that one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
