Madman's finally lost his marbles and is doing the deed

Trouble is I ain't started the speech yet, anyone know of any good websites for speech making.

And how do I tell her I've got another baby - wears black shoes, very attractive and is a right goer

Oh well, got to look on the bright side, at least tomorrow night there wil be plenty of and

Thanks in advance for your help because I won't be able to reply for a while

Madman

PS
Stef - I know it should be in Non Scooby related but as a favour to a doomed man can you leave it on here - I'm a bit desperate and need all the help I can get from fellow Scoobynetters - Cheers

Edited cos the nerves are kicking in now

Best of luck

I have no idea what to say, wibble probably wouldn't be appropriate, but it does us muppets when we are lost for words

Congratulations in advance

Michelle.

Madman

Cheers Chelle

Never mind all that - back to serious issues - have you got those lights wired up yet?

Madman

Not yet Dave - I'm afraid they'll have to wait a while now, I'll give you a few weeks rest then start with the "where's Dave T_S threads then

Ahhh well, never mind, she'll have to get used to all this. I can see it now, just come back after wedding and I'll be straight under bonnet.

I can here them words ringing out now "You think more of that car than you do of me"

MichelleWRX1994

Madman, you can always hire me for a speech, I can waffle on for ages :d

Trouble is, I am over in the states, so webcam???

MichelleWRX1994

LOL, I am sure the guy I marry will say the same thing as your wife to be LOL

Madman

Geeez - you get everywhere Chelle

Webcam - Hummm - now there's a thought, would save on the drinks bill

Honeymoon? - enjoy Chelle

MichelleWRX1994

I am everywhere

You can't escape me

Madman

Quick, get back on topic or it will end up in my forum.

Hang on, that is not a bad idea, if you are looking for witty comments, post in the muppet show, you never know, you might be surprised

Michelle

And stop hitting me

Dave T-S

madman
Okay, i'll be here

Enjoy the wedding/honeymoon.....

Madman

That's true

Come on people, someone must know a good website.

Chelle - no time for Muppet forum I'm afraid (I'd be there all day) - got to go and get my little lads trousers changed for his suit - little bugger keeps growing - enjoy America and speak soon

Madman

Cheers Dave

Okay, I have been sneaky

chiark

confetti.co.uk has some good tips on it.

For the groom, you just thank everyone, perhaps follow with a short (SHORT) anecdote, toast the bridesmaids (IIRC) and sit down.

People love brevity.

Also, if you want to try a joke, do. People will laugh at anything in this situation. When I was best man, I started with the traditional "Queen mother"[*] gag, and one Grandfather had to wipe champagne from himself...

Nick[*] "Being asked to be best man is a little like being asked to make love to the queen mother. You're sure it's a great honour, but you're not quite sure you want to do it"

Madman,

You shouldn't worry too much as all you have to do in your speech really is thank the brides maids and say they look stunning but just complemented your gorgeous bride and something about her dress being better than you imagined, thats it really...
You don;t have to be funny although a comment about what the best man is going to say something silly like "I would just like to remind <bestmans name> that it was always my intention of choosing him to be my best man and that he is the kind of guy you can rely on to be sensible with a speach, I hope... and I'll get you another drink if you skip over most of my life so far" or something silly.

There are a number of websites, if you use the a search engine like www.lycos.co.uk with the UK only switched on you should find something searching for Bestman speach or something and there should be sites for both best man and grooms speaches.
Either than or search for wedding.
If you write your speech out word for word and then read it a number of times and then put key points on to small cards to prompt you to speak about them. Then you are not reading word for word and you can speak looking like you know what you are talking about just with the odd prompt from a card.

Good luck and hope you have a nice day and a lovely honeymoon, if it is anything like my wedding the day will be over very quickly.

Best of luck

Might be of help.

Or you could just tell a few off colour jokes!

Like the bogus telegram:
A telegram has arrived for the Bride, the carpet delivery company have a problem with the carpets you ordered, they will not be arriving until next week, but all going well you should get your underfelt tonight

Or If the Groom is a nautical type - a telegram from the coastgaurd requesting that he report his speed and position at midnight.

I'm getting married in June, so I'm well aquainted with this site!! Havn't read the grooms speech bit, but if there's not anything useful check out the links, they've been quite good to me

Oh - and you will get the "you spend more time with the car" thing, I do and I'm not married yet!

Hope all goes well! If it helps I'm nervous and I've got..er..3 1/2 months!

Sure you'll have a great time Btw, Scooby's make great wedding cars - we've got blue ribbons and two silver turbo's lined up

Good luck!
