My best man speech.... Thoughts?

Good Evening! For those of you who don’t know me, I am Brian’s little brother Chris… and for those of you who do know me… you’re welcome. On behalf of Brian and Tara I would like to thank you all for joining us for this joyous occasion. A very special thank you to the people responsible for blessing us all by raising these two amazing people. Wayne and Carolee, Thank you for raising a beautiful daughter who is a strong, patient and empathetic woman. Jon and Jean… you guys have to take full responsibility for all the trauma and headaches this poor girl will have to deal with.

Tonight we all gathered together for one reason. Marriage. Marriage is what brought us all together tonight, Marriage, this blessed arrangement, this dream within a dream. A moment in which we got the honor of seeing two souls being brought together. From this day forward these two will have each others constant companionship and love. True love that will follow you forever and ever. It is what brought you to together and what will keep you So treasure this love… because this is what life has been waiting for you two to discover.

On this day I give you both this…

May the best you've ever seen Be the worst you'll ever see. May the mouse never leave your pantry With a tear-drop in his eye. May there always be work for your hands to do. May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine upon your window pane. May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near to you and May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. Wherever you live in the world so wide, We wish you a nook on the sunny side, With much love and little care, A little joy and laughter to spare, Your own little hearth when day is spent, In a little house with hearts content.

Lets all raise our glasses… to the bride and groom… Brian and Tara

Great speech.

Love. Heroic and quaint. A socially acceptable form of insanity essential to complete the sane personality. Good luck to their contract. A few people still pull it off, I'm told.

Nice rhyme, Chris. Good work.

Thanks guys! This is my second best man speech and since it is for my brother I wanted to make sure it didn't suck. Lol

As long as your parents are cool with you roasting them without any disclaimers, it's really great. (I assume they are great sports or you wouldn't be giving them a bit of a hard time.)

Twice a best man.... speaks volumes.

It does a few things that i really enjoy and respect.
1) honours the toasted in a respectable way (no throwing anyone under the bus)
2) does not include inside jokes that exclude people, rather it gives them brief insights into the people
3) short, but effective
4) allows for the listeners to reflect upon the thoughts and idea that you share with them...and perhaps transfer them to their own lives

So, well done! Being a best man for 1 person is honour enough, but for 2 must mean you are a great friend to many.

That's really good and I like the flow and imagery you develop. The moms will be ballin for sure. Great job.
