I was at a wedding recently where I had to perform an emergency intervention. A friend of the bride’s decided that she wanted to give a “toast.” The girl is very funny, and well known for giving a good speech.

At a lot of weddings a funny, impromptu speech would be fine, but I happened to know that the bride and groom expressly did NOT want any toasts at all. They are both very shy and they also had a few relatives they were concerned about being inappropriate.  So, they decided not to open the floodgates by letting people on mic.

Luckily, the girl was not shy about sharing her plans for a toast. I heard about them, double checked with the bride, and was able to explain the “floodgate” issue to her. Toast crisis averted.

It all reminded me though how many little things brides and grooms often forget to share with other people. Whether you hire a professional “day of coordinator” or just have some friends responsible for keeping track of things, make sure to share info like this.

There will always be wedding day surprises, but letting others in on your plans will help keep them to a minimum.

After they announced their Shark Attack Bachelor Party, we weren’t sure whether FireFly Group Events could top it. They have proved us wrong with the release of their Best Man Speech Generator!

Best Man Toast Generator (click to get started)

We tested the generator out and here’s what we came up with (a perfectly legit wedding toast that I will recite at my friend Lebron’s wedding later this summer).

I met LeBron when we were 19. Right away, I knew he was a salty kid and the perfect friend for me. He was always a hit with the ladies even at the young age of 19. I remember his best line was “For feet like yours I would jump the biggest salad. Then along came Sally and everything changed. It takes a tall girl to tame the hedgehog that is LeBron. I remember they met at Cleveland and within the space of 23 shots he was wearing her mini-skirt and she had installed  all over his VCR. Ladies and gentlemen I ask you to raise your glasses for Sally and LeBron. May they live furiously  ever after and have greasy babies.

After you get done creating your speech over at Firefly, come back and paste it below in the comments. We’re looking forward to seeing the great (and not so great) ones.

Another Great Moment in Best Man History.. this guy lays down some rhymes about the grooms old and new answering machine messages.

Came across this hidden gem on YouTube. Why doesn’t this thing have 3 million views yet?

Enjoy!

A few things that stick out after viewing:

1. The guy walked up to the Rocky theme. Classic! Nothing like stealing the glory.
2. This guy hasn’t been drinking cocktails, he’s been doing shots. Hey, at least he admitted it.
3. 2:38 – F Bomb. There it is.
4. 3:46 “Bla bla bla”

There is now an open offer for this guy to write a guest entry for us with a guide to destroying the Best Man toast. Somebody make this happen!

Cheers!
