Good evening everyone. I am Scott, the Best Man, and a friend to Mike and now to Louise as well. Let me start off by saying thank you to Mike and Louise for allowing me to share in your special day. There is only one Best Man at this wedding Mike, and that is you. I'm just the dorky guy that gets to make fun of you at the reception.
Mike and I first met by sheer coincidence. At the time, I was driving a car with a very loud, booming stereo system. I was at a light, and had the music cranked up. All of a sudden, I hear *BOOM BOOM BOOM * from the car behind me. It was drowning out my music. I thought to myself, what the heck is that ??? That happened to be Mike.
As luck would have it, Mike showed up at the dealership I worked at, and we started talking. We found out we shared a love for fast cars, loud stereos, and hot chicken wings. The rest, as they say, is history.
It has been said that men are like a fine wine. They start out like grapes and it is your job to stamp on them in the dark until they mature into something you would like to have dinner with. I think Louise has done a very good job at this !
As some of you may know, I have given Louise some advice on how to handle Mike and his little tricks. Here are some of the tips I gave her.
If the car needs the oil changed, don't rely on Mike to have it done.
He will wait until the engine is blowing black smoke and spitting parts out the tailpipe before taking it in.
Love each other to the fullest and enjoy every day that you have, because one day that Civic is going to come rolling home with a set of 18" wheels on it and you'll probably not be very happy with him.
Giving Mike a credit card is like giving a kid a 1 million dollar
shopping spree at Toys'r’Us. Not a good idea.
And if he tells you that he needs a super-charger to make his car safer and more reliable, don't believe him ! Tell him he has to get aproval from me!
Mike, I am so glad that you and Louise have found love and happiness in each other, and I wish you all the best for your future. I am very lucky to have you two as friends. Let me share some last bits of advice from my own marriage: Love one another, respect one another, and never go to bed mad. And finally, remember the three most important words in any relationship:
You're right, dear
I invite you all to raise your glasses to Mike and Louise as I am sure everyone here today would like to wish them both good health, happiness and a wonderful life together.
(RAISE GLASSES)
To Mike and Louise,
Thank you.
