Speech Creator: Richie
Speech Date: Sep2005
Hello my name is Richie and I met Kenny in preschool about 22 years ago and even though I have know him for so long, looking round at so many of the close friends and family that Kenny has it really does makes me feel humble to have been asked to be his best man, but I am a horrible, horrible public speaker and speech writer and would like to thank Kenny for the opportunity to prove this to you all today.
Now like I just said I have known Kenny since the first day he walked into my preschool class almost 22 years ago. You see the thing is, Ken has been like my brother for most of my life. We have been through a lot together being and have had some great times. We have been close friends, partners in crime on numerous occasions, and in the quieter moments, a trusting friend to whom he tell anything to after he has had a few drinks……….which, fortunately, has provided us with ample material for this speech…… but instead of using this time to do a traditional character assassination of Kenny I would rather use it to thank him for being my brother and backing me up with every situation that I have needed him during my whole life, it was my absolute honor to stand by you as bestman during your wedding day.
Now Kenny truly is a lucky man today marrying Jen, she is a wonderful lady who deserves a good husband … so I think Kenny has done a fantastic job at marrying her before she had a chance to find one. Now when I first met Jen my first impression was a beautiful, witty, charming, friendly and intelligent person. But she soon ruined it and I had to take it all back when I heard she actually agreed to marry this big funny looking guy. Now whatever the blackmail material Kenny has may be I am glad you gave in and married him, because I have never seen him so happy.
So to conclude I'd like everyone to raise your drinks up high & join me in a toast, to Kenny and Jen.. to love, laughter, happiness and success in your new life together. Congratulations.
