FIRSTLY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BRIDESMAIDS AND PAGEBOYS WHO DID A FANTASTIC JOB TODAY AND DON'T THEY ALL LOOK GREAT. I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT EMMA LOOKS FAB, AS I'M SURE YOU WILL ALL AGREE AND ROBERT YOU LOOK OK!
GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW ME, MY NAME IS COLIN, AND I'M ROB'S GOODLOOKING BROTHER.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY AND HELPING TO MAKE EMM AND ROB'S WEDDING DAY SUCH A MEMORABLE AND SPECIAL OCCASION FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED.

WHEN ROB ASKED ME TO BE HIS BEST MAN MY FIRST REACTION WAS…AGAIN!! THEN WHEN I REALISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE THAT SWIFTLY CHANGED TO TERROR…
TO COMBAT THIS, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO BE A BEST MAN AND FOUND THE “BEST MAN'S TOOLKIT” A WEBSITE THAT BOASTED THAT IT WOULD TAKE YOU STEP BY STEP THROUGH WRITING THIS VERY IMPORTANT SPEECH. SO I THOUGHT GREAT…PUT IT ON MY FAVOURITES AND LEFT IT UNTIL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.… ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS NO HELP AT ALL. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU KNOW A COUPLE CALLED STEVE AND JOANNA…
IT WOULD NORMALLY BE DEEMED TRADITIONAL AT THIS STAGE FOR ME TO RECALL EVENTS FROM ROB'S PAST THAT HE MAY FIND EMBARRASSING… SUCH AS THE TIME HE BOROWWED MY BIKE AND SNAPPED MY NEW COWHORN HANDLE BARS.… OR THE TIME HE BORROWED MY NEW CAR AND SQUASHED A FIAT 126 WITH IT.… COME TO THINK OF IT HE BREAKS EVERY THING I LEND HIM INCLUDING THE RUBBER SHORTS HE WORE ON HIS STAG NIGHT, STRANGE THEN THAT HE MAKES A LIVING OUT OF FIXING THINGS.
READ SOME CARDS OUT.
I WOULD NOW LIKE TO FINISH OFF NOW BUY GIVING JOANNA AND STEVE…ER…I MEAN EMMA AND ROBERT A LITTLE BIT OF ADVICE FOR TODAY AND THAT IS TO ENJOY THE MOMENT BECAUSE IT GOES SO FAST AND REMEMBER ITS NOT THE HAPPIEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE ITS JUST ONE OF MANY TO COME…
SO WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR GLASSES WITH ME AND WISH THE BRIDE AND GROOM ALL THE HAPPINESS THEY DESERVE.
HERE'S TO LOVE, LAUGHTER AND HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
AS ROB AND EMM START THEIR NEW LIFE,
LET'S TOAST THE NEW HUSBAND AND WIFE!
