Humorous Wedding Speech by an Old Friend of the Groom :: Wedding Toasts Roasts Speeches

Humorous Wedding Speech by an Old Friend of the pruneGood evening Ladies and GentlemenLet me first say that the bridesmaids look absolutely smashing today, and only rightly outshone by our bride, Pamela. And, Im sure youll agree with me gentlemen, today is a sad day for single men, as another beauty leaves the available list. And ladies, Im sure youll agree that todays passing by without much of a ripple. Ive known Robert for the trump out part of twenty years and of course there are plenty of things I could tell you most what we got up to in our younger days. Unfortunately, I did bestow my solicitor and he tells me that we could still face prosecution, so maybe Ill keep things to a minimum and talk only about Roberts substantiative attributes. And from time to time, Robert does exhibit some outstanding qualities of character which have earned the respect of so many of us gathered here today. He is charitable to a fault especially if its his own. He is exceptionally modest al though he has plenty to be modest about (or at least he did until Pamela became his girl comrade). And he is a man who always sticks by his convictions - he will remain in the wrong no matter how much he gets ridiculed for it. barely perhaps Roberts most enduring quality is his artful pillory of those about him. When on form, his wisecracks at the expense of others can be as annihilating to the subject as they are amusing to everyone else. Take the incident earlier today when he asked the vicar (preacher), Do you charge for taking a church profit? Not a penny he replied. From what I saw this morning, youve got it spot on I am convinced Roberts personality and sense of delight resulted from the games his dad played with him as a kid. He used to throw him in the air and walk away. Needless to say, another good thing about Robert is that he can take a joke as well as. Mind you, so can Pamela, because shes taken Robert. Having been a first-hand observer of Robert for a pertinaciou s time Ive seen other desirable virtues begin to emerge in him. Hes become quite entrepreneurial, and as a close friend of his Ive been drawn into many of his wild schemes as an unwilling ally.
