This is'nt the first time today i've got of a warm seat with a piece of paper in my hand.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen ,and I am Craig,your best man for the day.

First of all,on behalf of Jackie,I would like to thank Joe for his kind words.You have to agree she looks lovely,and has done a fantastic job for Keeley.And doesn't Keeley look beautiful?I'm sure you will all agree that Joe has found someone who is,loving,caring,thoughtful and more than a match for him.And Keeley has found………….well,Joe.
He doesn't scrub up too bad though does he?Even though he's copied my outfit for the day.
I would also like to thank all of you for coming and making the day even more special.Espescially those of you have had to travel to get here.It's amazing what people will do for a free dinner.Isn't it Dave?

Well 25 years ago,Keeley's parents where sending her off to bed with a dummy.Some things never change,do they?

Joe asked me not to mention anything too bad about him in this speech,so,being the friend that I am,I promised him I wouldn't.
So I won't mention the time that he wandered through a hotel in Brid
,stark naked with his jeans over his shoulder.
I also won't mention the time he woke up in the middle of the night in Stoke,Went downstairs in the hotel for the attic key,and went and spent the rest of the night in there.
Or the time in Barrow in Furness when he went into the totally wrong room and slept in there.

And I definitley wont mention the bath !!

Now onto a few cards .

I have had passed to me today a fax from the oddysea in Cyprus,where Joe and Keeley will be spending their honeymoon.It reads:-
We look forward to welcoming you for your honeymoon.Don't worry if there is a short delay when you check in as we are putting something special on for you. ………The roof.

But seriously,if you could all join me in a toast to some very important people,without whom today just wouldn't be the same.I'm sure all of us will shuffle past them at some point today and exchange a few kind words.

Ladies and gentlemen,please raise your glasses to…..The bar staff.!!

One last thing I would like Joe and keeley to do for me,before they take me off the christmas card list is,for Keeley to put her hand on the table.Now Joe to put his hand on hers.
Thats the last time you will have the upper hand mate!!

Ladies and gentlemen,if you would be upstanding,and join me in a toast to Joe and Keeley,the new mr & mrs Lynch.May your future together be a long and happy one.

Joe and Keeley
