All in all, I prefer bagels. No and so but seriously, is your brother aware that you are looking to crib someone else Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Speak honestly and from your heart and it'll be OK. Don't tell embarrassing stories or anything like that. I did the best man's toast at my brother's wedding, and had no idea what I was going to say right up until shortly before they handed me the microphone. I came up with an idea and just let it carry me through an extemporaneous speech, and it went over really well. It's the idea that's the tough part -- just think about your relationship with your brother, and perhaps what's different about him since he met his fianc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'd end with this quote from the great movie Outside Providence... Making sex is like a Chinese dinner: It ain't over 'til you both get your cookies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 this might not translate well in writing, but at the wedding reception for a friend of mine, the best man ended his toast with: "Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your glasses for our toast to the lucky couple." He then positioned the bride & groom in front of the audience, ensuring that they were facing each other and fairly close together. he then helped them raise their glasses for the toast, subtlely ensuring that the groom's glass was higher than the bride's. "Ladies and gentlemen, a toast... to the last time you see [groom] with the upper hand!!!" Brought down the house - of course it helps that the bride was a bit of a biatch and we all knew it was a true statement! (he then proceeded to say "but seriously folks..." and ended it on a happy and nice note. but honestly most of us were still giggling and didn't hear much of it. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
