Best Man's Wedding Speech This is turning out to be a day full of new experiences for me. It's the first time I've had the honor of being a best man, it's the first time Brandon has complimented me in over 30 years, and it's the first time he's offered me a free dinner from that kebab he bought me in '93. So far things have been going pretty well… until now. Start the car Steve. Ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls Brandon and Lisa, first of all, let me start on behalf of the bridesmaids, Michelle, Ellie, Hannah and Emily, I would like to thank Brandon for his kind words, and I must say they are absolutely wonderful and they did a great job today. The great thing about being a best man, which by the way is short for the best Brandon can handle, is that you get to paint a picture of the man Lisa has just committed the rest of her life to. A man is best described through his actions and despite knowing Brandon for almost thirty years, I think I could probably describe all of his actions within the next five minutes. Not that he's lazy, far from it. , rather than being a jack of all trades, he prefers to carefully concentrate his efforts. When asked once in the pub what his favorite hobbies and pastimes were, after serious thought and consideration he replied: "I really like sitting." So here before us is a man who dedicates his free time to energy conservation and en...... middle of paper...... a few words of worldly advice. Being a bachelor, this proved a little too difficult for me, so I asked my mom and dad how they managed 40+ years of married bliss. My mom said: Lisa a man is like a tile floor: lay it right the first time and you can spend years walking on it! And from my dad: The best way to remember your anniversary is to forget it just once! I apologize if those jokes are a little old, but so are my parents! If my throat was dry when I started this speech it is now even drier, and I can think of no better remedy than to toast the health, wealth and eternal happiness of the spouses. So please raise your glasses to Brandon and Lisa Haterson.
