Tom and Eileen's Wedding
If you ever wanted a day to come together perfectly it would be your wedding day, right? Well last Saturday was one of those days. My best friend Tom got married to his longtime girlfriend Eileen and I was the best man. This is probably the one and only time I will ever be the best man at someone's wedding so I decided to make this one really special for everyone.
Weather was a bit a bit of a factor in the beginning but mother nature was kind enough to give us a rather clear and comfortable day as it went along. The ceremony itself was nice, nice church, the requisite tears rolling down the cheeks of both groups of parents. We get to the party, take the wedding group pictures, I hope those came out OK. I was the only guy in the wedding party as opposed to 5 bridesmaids and the maid of honor, so I was real busy. Walking all the girls out as introductions went along, making sure the bridesmaids were sufficiently plied with drinks to allow for any embarrassing moments that would come later.
But my moment, my shining moment in the sun would come when it was time for me to give my best man speech, I wanted to make it memorable and different. I wanted people to think when they went to any wedding from now on and hear that same blah blah blah best man's speech and would immediately think of mine and say, "you know, Nelson's was better". Most of all I wanted Tom and Eillen to remember it, because that day must have seen like so much of a blur to them, they probably don't remember much other than that they are betrothed to each other for the REST OF THEIR LIVES!
The Speech had to be broken into 2 you tube posts, here is part one and here is part two. I really don't know how my temporary webmaster Melanie broke it up or maybe a went on for a little bit, who knows, I was at least three or four chocolate milks in at the time.
Please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
