For those of you who do not know me . . . My name is Michael, and I want to start off by . . . whoops, that's a Typo. My name is actualyl Charlie, and I am Michael's uncle, or if you'd like you can refer to me as I've made Michael and Cody do since birth . . . Big Uncle Almighty. But since that might be a little ackward for all of us, Charlie is fine. But seriously I want to start off by thanking Michael and Amelia for having me and tell them both that I am truly, truly honored to the Best man . . . even if they did break the sacred rule of not scheduling a wedding on the day of a Gator Game. When I first found out I'd be a best man, I thought great, throw Mike a Bachelor's party, show up and I'm done. Then I began to realize that there's a little more to it. So to help, I bought a book. The book, however was over 100 pages, and I began to feel a little intimidated until I finally realized there's pretty much 4 basic steps to being a best man.
is indeed throw a bachelor party . . . hey no problem doing that, but the less said here the better.
is to help the groom get dressed. Yeah Right, if he hasn't learned to do that by himself by now, then he probably shouldn't be getting married.
is to make sure that all of the ex-girlfriends are kept at bay. This was no problem at all since I couldn't get any of Mike's ex's to admit to having dated him.
and of course, the most important one, a thorough characther assassination of the Groom in the wedding speach.
But I can't do that to Mike, I care too much about the guy. All jokes aside, Mike is . . .
handsome
Witty
Intelligent
Charming
Uh Uh . . . I'm sorry Amelia, I can't read your writing, what does this last one say?
okay . . . okay . . .
Amelia, I just met a year ago. Actually It was one year exactly. I know this because it was the second week of the college football season, just like it is today. Over the past year I've had an oppurtunity to get to know her, and as i've done so I've realized that my Nephew is a very lucky man, and is indeed blessed to find the angel of his life as such a young adult. So the search is over Mike, and let me tell he did some searching . . . just kidding of course. Now in all honesty, Mike is much more more than a nephew to me. He's a great friend, a brother for life, and I love this guy to death.
Now, without further adieu since I am not in Miami to see My beloved Florida Gators I would like you all to raise your glasses to Michael and Amelia
To Love, Laughter and Happily Ever After . . . Salud
