Humorous Wedding Speech by a Friend of the Groom

Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen.

I would first like to thank you all for coming today and helping to make Marcus and Adrian's wedding such a memorable and special occasion. Personally, I wish you'd all stayed at home and made my job less nerve wracking.

When I was asked to be in the wedding party I decided that I needed to know what the role entailed. I have now read several books, and all of them include a last minute checklist to guarantee a smooth wedding. So, to give you a feel for the pressure I’ve been under, here are some of the things I’ve had to remember from my checklist:

1) See that all ex-girlfriends are kept at bay.

Now then, Marcus discovered girls a lot earlier than I did, because while I was worrying about English exams, he was copying my work, leaving him free to pursue girls to his heart's content. Put it this way - he'd discovered bike sheds before I even knew what bikes were. But, there is no chance of seeing any of his ex’s tonight because I understand that they are all out celebrating, which has denied us some quality entertainment as a result.

2) Bring a credit card for the payments that the groom may have forgotten.

So far, Marcus owes me £650 ($400) - which reminds me, this wedding nearly didn’t go ahead! The hotel manager was getting concerned as he hadn’t received the deposit. Thankfully, Marcus assured him that he...

... middle of paper ...

...reach the bride and groom's home.

So, if you would like to place all of the gifts that you have brought with you, (particularly the valuable ones), in the back of the green rental van, registration S653 GFR, I will personally ensure that they receive them. I promise.

So that’s what my role entailed. Of course, I also have the honour of proposing a toast to the bride and groom. But, before I do that, let me first say, Marcus, you’ve been an excellent friend to be since I met you twelve years ago and Adrian, you look stunning today and getting to know you has been a real pleasure.

Ladies and gentlemen, please could you now raise your glasses in a toast to the bride and groom.

To Adrian and Marcus.

  • Wedding Speech – Best Woman or Maid of Honor

    1279 Words  | 3 Pages

    Now I was a bit unsure about the duties of a best man, although I told Brian very early on that there was no way I was going to get off with a bridesmaid – I say that with no offence intended to Claire and Nicola who I’m sure you’ll all agree look lovely, and have done a great job today. So to find out what was expected of me, I turned to the internet and managed to find some really interesting stuff… but then remembered what I had gone onto it for in the first place, and set about plagiarising other people’s speeches from all the wedding sites I could find. So I accept no responsibility if this end result is rubbish. I know many of you will have been to a few weddings in your time, so can I suggest that you entertain yourselves quietly by playing wedding bingo – every time you hear a witty comment in my speech that you have already heard at another wedding, give yourself a point and the first one to five wins a piece of wedding cake.

  • The Importance Of Cultural Competency Care

    1615 Words  | 4 Pages

    Awareness of cultural differences and their impact on health outcomes is based on increasing education and providing training to health care professionals by adopting cultural and linguistic standards and guidelines needed to raise cultural competence care awareness in medical schools and other medical health care training programs. In doing so, we are not only recognizing the major component of cultural differences in healthcare, but also recognizing cultural competence care can help in identifying potential links in reductions in health disparities and proper delivery of health care information and health care to the patient (NIH, 2015). Cultural competency care benefits not only the patient, but also the healthcare system as a whole, as it can promote good health practices and eliminate culturally incompetent care, which according to Peterson-Iyer (2008) can ultimately encourage practical problems, such as decreased patient compliance, obtaining a true informed consent, and may increase risk of liability for malpractice. Overall, health care should be designed to meet the needs of all ethnicities and cultures and not simply those who belong to the ethnic and cultural majority (Epner & Baile, 2012). In a diverse world, healthcare must respect, accommodate, and take responsibility for the social and health burden for improving culturally competence. This responsibility should not just be to the patient, but also to the healthcare professionals, institutions, and medical training

  • Astrocytes: Central Nervous System

    914 Words  | 2 Pages

    Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells found within the central nervous system, outnumbering neurons 7:5 in the human brain (Nedergaard et al., 2003). Following their initial discovery in the 19th century, astrocytes were originally viewed as passive support cells for neurons, providing a physical scaffold for neuronal organization (Nair et al., 2008). However, it is now recognized that astrocytes play a more active role in cerebral function, from ionic homeostasis and neurotransmitter recycling to neurovascular coupling and inflammation (Kimelberg, 2010; Sidoryk-Wegrzynowicz et al., 2011; Tian et al., 2012). Through their participation in various neuronal and cerebrovascular processes, astrocyte dysfunction has been shown to play critical roles in certain brain pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis (Sofroniew & Vinters, 2010).
