So this was the first time I was in a wedding and it was as the best man for one of my best friends who I've known since elementary school. He told me that he wanted me to be his best man close to year in advance and I was stressing out about writing and saying a speech for pretty much the whole time, not to mention figuring out what other responsibilities I might have to do. Luckily, he was really understanding of my nervousness and didn't really care if I helped with anything beside the speech (the bachelor party we held was planned two days before and was just playing video games at his house after going to a BBQ in the area with a couple friends).

So, anyway! I figured I'd share some pictures for the heck of it, since they finally got posted last night. I'd better put them in an imgur link though since I don't feel like resizing them and they'd be too big to embed in the thread probably.

In case you can't tell who I am, just look at my profile pic on the left on Vizzed. I do look surprisingly similar to the groom though (lots of people think we're brothers). I'm the one whose tux has shiny bits on the front.

LOL you two do look like brothers, so it's not surprising other people assume that as well.

The photos are amazing, and the wedding itself looks absolutely gorgeous. You guys looked like you had a lot of fun in the candid photos.

Also, props for having a low-key bachelor party. I find that there's a lot of pressure to have more "adult" themed parties, whether the groom (or bride) wants to or not. The whole point is to give them the best "last" night, so props for doing what I'm sure he wanted.

PS - haha, the toast pun was awesome.

Photos are good.

There is one thing I want to know.

Is the toast already eaten? If not, can I have it? I have a family to feed

MuseFanBoy : I heard that he's keeping it in his freezer to give to me at my wedding (whenever that is; I'm still single), but I don't think I'm supposed to know that.

TheTrueUlti : Yup, that was foosball! They had that in the youth room in the church basement, as well as carpetball and a "throw the rings onto pegs on a target on the wall" game.

Wow, it has been an exceptionally long time since I even heard of Foosball. About ten years ago was the first time I played it, but I didn't know much about football, much less table football. I recall just striking my hands back and forth, not knowing what was going on.  Man, I wish I had another Kicker table...

Let us not forget a pic,every unmarried man scrambling to get away from the garter,lol.

In all seriousness,it looks like the wedding was good man. I have been the best man and I did forget my speech that I prepared. I was lucky I did memorize it. And damn,now I want to play some foosball.

TheTrueUlti : That's all I'm able to do at Foosball basically. I'm pretty terrible at every real life game that requires any kind of coordination (meaning not video games). ...well, I guess I'm decent at disc golf, but that's about it.

Oldschool777 : Haha, I was kind of amused to see those pics, mostly because of how little effort I was putting in. The groom was definitely aiming directly at me, but I didn't know what was going on until the last second. And the bride's brother was already drunk/tipsy and out for attention even when sober, so he went for it full force.

For my speech, I had typed it all out, but then rather than memorizing it, I just memorized the order of the topics I wanted to mention and the gist of the jokes I was going to make and just kind of ad libbed it from there, not exactly how it had been written. I think that worked out pretty well, except for the very end and maybe a pause or two, but everyone just remembered "the toast" anyway so it didn't matter. lol

Thanks for the replies guys.

I remember giving my best man's speech. I hate public speaking,I would rather get in the ring with the nastiest wrestler alive than give a speech. But people seemed to love it,I got a lot of applause and comments that it was beautiful. Which is kind of funny,since I am not a eloquent person.
