WEDDING SPEECH
Well its been said that being asked to be Best Man is like being asked to make love to the Queen, it's a great honour but nobody wants to do it!! Thanks Phil………………………PAUSE……
Even so I agreed to be Phil's best man and I'm sure you'll agree that first duty, that of getting Phil here today, sober, very smart (especially the NEW hairdo) on time and eventually married a complete success…..PAUSE…
So as it is customary on these occasions, I now get the chance to lay into Phil, which is nice……………..PAUSE..…
As you can tell I am nervous speaking in front of you all today. I thought I might forget my lines, so I was just going to do the usual .… pause.… Like when Phil was a baby he was so ugly that his mum used to tie a bone around his neck so the dog would play with him…… PAUSE……
So Ladies and Gentlemen for those of you, who don't know Phil, I would like to share with you, a couple of stories about him that I hope will amuse. I'll start when Phil was just 4 years of age he was out shopping with his Mum and Dad and had wandered off, his Dad found him lying on the floor and he appeared to be staring at the ceiling. On closer inspection his Dad realised that Phil was peering up an old ladies skirt, who had the misfortune of having only one leg, with Phil wondering where the other leg was!! This event affected Phil in two ways later in life, firstly a desire for older women and secondly for getting legless………PAUSE……………………
As you may not know Phil is a great animal lover as we had to er'm quickly explain to the Manager of the Whites Hotel last Sunday in Newcastle when he brought a donkey down from his room for breakfast….PAUSE.… – How he got it up all those flights of stairs at 3am he's not saying…………..PAUSE..…

Messages: -To Phil – We could have been so good together – Kate Moss
To Sandra: – We could have been so good together –Martina Navratilova
But seriously though I've been fortunate to have known Philip for almost twenty years, little did I know that my wife's little brother would turn out to be my best mate. So I count myself very lucky to be in this position.
When Phil first introduced me to Sandra it was a difficult time for them, I only asked her one question about Phil, which she gave me an honest answer. I knew that moment some 7 or 8 years ago that this day would happen and I like you all in this room will agree with me, that they make a great team and I know they will have a long and happy Marriage……….PAUSE…..…
So its my pleasure and honour to ask you all to raise your glasses, to toast the happy couple Mr and Mrs. Booth——————– Phil and Sandra.
