Done it 3 times myself, 1st time was very nerve racking, 2nd time was better, 3rd time a doddle.
Keep it short n sweet, a few witty remarks, nothing to offensive towards the bride
Now, before I start, the hotel manger has asked me to request that, for reasons of health and safety, none of you get up on top of the chairs and tables during my standing ovation...badaboom tish.
I'm not saying the groom was nervous this morning but when i went to the toilet this morning i found this ( produce brick from under the table )
Groom and
Bride met in a very, very romantic location - the Hippodrome nightclub in Exeter. This place is renowned for being the hangout of drunk wide boys and white stiletto girls, so it was pure coincidence that they met on that fateful night.
Read a few cards, make a toast.
Say that there will be a free bar for all the guests afterwards courtesy of the brides father, pull another brick from under his chair.
