doing a best man speech

[SkippyjonJones]

did one saturday. all ready for it - got to the meal - no problem except for a persistant cough. managed to keep that under control by having a neat whiskey beforehand (tip from the toast master).

 

was great until I knew the groom was about to finish his speech - then I had a massive attack of nerve - needed a drink and it was all gone - water, wine, spirits - the lot had run out!!! and the cough came back. just about managed the speech before my vioce gave out totally - luckily the attack of nerves dissappeared as soon as I started speaking.

 

 

Toastmaster was brilliant - I was working with him to make sure that everything went ok - and it looked to everyone as if he kept checking back with me on various things - when in fact he was giving me score updqates on the Liverpool game!! good lad!

Toastmaster? You mix in posh circles! Had my wedding at the Hereford v Halifax match. At the ground. Could barely afford the vol au vents!
