Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good evening. For those of you who don't know me, my name is peter and I am the best man. Traditionally I'm suppose to make this a long speech but if you don't mind Ill try to keep this short and sweet.

July 28th.… Do you guys remember the movie rocky?
On July 28th 1982 the # 1 song topping charts around the country was the well known (Eye of the tiger) by Survivor.
Its really Quite funny, because now everytime we watch rocky we can remember ryan and dianes anniversary.
When ryan asked me to be the best man I was petrified like the time he thought I was gangster and was going to beat me up with a crowbar. (It's a long story) but I also felt honored to be the best man.

I remember when me and ryan first met, we were in high school. Ryan use to hang out over @ the heavy metal wall and It was cool to have hair. I was hanging out at the mormon wall just across from each other. I don't think I was the best influence on ryan but for some reason we just clicked. (that was a joke)
Through out our lives since high school we've hung out together a lot. Weve chilled together, we've partied together, pratically live together, and even work together. I guess you can say that me & ryan have gotten pretty close since high school but now that diane has stepped into his life, well .. we will always be close but now I have another person to be close to.
I'd just like to say that I know these two are going to be alright. I know that they love and care for each other very much and that no matter what happens in life, these two are going to be there for each other.

Id like to raise a glass & toast to these two crazy love birds… Salud
