Folks, I don’t want to take up too much of your valuable drinking time, but I do know there are a few things a groom should share on his big day, so here we go.
First of all, don’t underestimate how big a deal this is for yours truly.
I know a few of you think I took my time to get around to this, but let’s be realistic - I’m a methodical guy. You can’t rush the important things, and so I didn’t. I waited for the perfect wife, and the perfect moment.
And don't say I don't stick to my guns once my mind's made up, because technically speaking, I probably shouldn't be here today.
At least, not if you believe this “Test Your Stress Level ” guide I found the other day.
Count along with me while we take the test now.
Number one: Is your favorite team performing below their best at present? If so give yourself 10 points.
Number two: Are you getting married in the next twelve months? 25 points.
Number three: If you are getting married, will you or your partner in be involved organising the wedding? If yes, add another 40.
Number four: Are things getting a bit tricky at work? If yes, add another 50.
Well, there were a few more like that, and it turns out I score so high I'm basically a ticking bomb.
But even so, once I've made my mind up, wild horses wouldn't hold me back, and here I am - and glad to be here.
Pride - in case any of you hadn't noticed, is the perfect wife, and I'm lucky she said yes.
I'm lucky to have someone who can live with my crazy schedule..
I'm lucky to have someone who can live with my shows..
And I'm lucky to have someone who is just so good hearted and so good to be with.
Some one once said men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for band.
All in all, I feel pretty good today!
And I have to say its pretty good to see you all here too.
So thank you all for coming as far as many of you had to, thank you for the kind speech.
Most of all, though, there are some special thanks I want to make.
Mom and Dad, I want to thank you for everything.
And that's saying a lot.
Whenever I've needed anything, you've been there.
Whenever we needed to talk, you've been just a phone call away.
And when things have got tough, you've always been there to help, no matter what.
So it only remains for me to say this: Whatever you might hear to the contrary from Harley, my life has been a blameless life. So I hope you’ll remember, at any point at which he might offer a contending point of view, that he’s the Best Man, and so He Would Say That, Wouldn’t He? Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a perfect day for us. Thank you for being here, and if you enjoy this day half as much as I am, then this is without doubt going to be the best day of your life. Thank you.
