I love her. It's taken her longer to get her college degree than most partly b/c of this control freak guy she was dating. ugh! But anyway she moved on from him, got her degree, and we were able to talk again. A few months ago (maybe 6) she started dating a guy worse than the other one. 21, unemployed, won't let her apply for jobs in her career. Had a girlfriend when they started dating. Now I know some women are just drawn to abusive men over and over again and she's one of them. This one took her cell phone and she has to earn the right to carry it when she drives. I know this b/c when I text her, he texts me back with "she is not allowed to talk to you. She hasn't asked for permission". She is not allowed to speak to me and hasn't returned a phone call, letter, or email in about 3 months. I'm devastated that I've lost my best friend. Well she's decided to spontaneously marry him! She called me from her parents. She wants me to meet them Jan 2. Wear a blue dress like a cocktail or formal. And they are going to get married. Then just the immediate families are going to have a reception at a restaurant. I know so many people on here feel like you should agree to be in a wedding to support the bride, your friend, regardless of her choice in groom--and usually I agree with you guys. But they will have been dating less than a year. He is a cheat. And by the time the marriage rolls around it will have been 6 months since she's been allowed to talk to me. I wrote her a couple months ago and told her about the abusive relationship history she has, how much I love her, and that if she ever needed someone to drive the moving van I could be there in half a day to move her out of there. I don't know if she got the letter but if so, I feel I stated my opinion of this guy once which is all I feel a friend is entitled to. Then it's the friend's life to live. I want to support her so that she knows I'm there for her but I also want to stop this wedding any way possible. I've even considered driving to her work and picking her up at the end of a work day and just keeping her away from him for 2 days. Then if she wants to marry him, she will have at least not been forced into it. Would you attend the wedding or risk your friends anger by doing everything in between heaven and earth to stop this wedding from occurring? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091012084747AAQHIer http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091012084747AAQHIer Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:47:47 GMT I've been told so many different things so far and I haven't been to a wedding since I was a little girl! What I've gathered so far: --ceremony and reception line first, obviously --mc announces the wedding party and then the bride and groom enter --bride and groom have their first dance (the photographer said this is more and more common now especially since our photographer is leaving before dinner) --bride and father dance --groom and mother dance --the Father of the Bride speech is first --speeches in between can be the parents of the groom, maid of honor, groom, bride, etc --the Best Man speech should go last (I've read this is one of the most important speeches and should end the formal speeches for the night) --dinner --dances (bride and father and groom and mother) if they didn't happen before dinner --invite everyone to dance --bouquet toss --garter toss --cake cutting This is what I've gathered from different wedding sites, other people's advice and talking to my wedding photographer, DJ and event planner.

I’m ______, the proud sister of our beautiful bride! I want to start by congratulating our bride and groom and thanking all of you for coming tonight and making this a day to remember for all of us. As anyone who’s the youngest in their family would know, it has many benefits. They range from being able to borrow your siblings clothes without having them find out and using their laptop on a regular basis to having them drive you almost everywhere. Sorry ______(my sisters name). But they also go deeper than materialistic things- it’s the fact that you’ve been exposed to so many amazing older people in your life from whom you can learn a countless number of things. This makes our life that much easier to live. I’m one of those people who believe that God has placed everyone in our lives for a reason, no matter how long or short of a period. My sister, ______ is one of those people who deeply affected me in so many ways. One memory of _______ I will never forget is how we always put a personality to all objects ranging from spiders, to my favorite teddy bear and then fall in love with them and have trouble letting go. Yes, believe it or not this actually happened; I didn’t want to kill the spider crawling on our roof because she gave it a cute voice. It’s quite sad, but somehow tops my list of fondest memories. Some of my other fondest memories are when we used to go to Bayview Park almost every week, and your 10 minute home birthday parties because you always had an exam the day after. I have many other memories that I would love to share with all of you about ______, but I don’t think she would appreciate being embarrassed on her special day. So I’ll try to forget about them for now. Bottom line is that in our relationship, age never kept us apart; age always remained a number and was never a barrier for us. She taught me that patience is actually a virtue; people aren’t to be judged but need to be helped, and most of all, that good things come to those who wait. _______ has never been one to impulsively act according to emotion to get what she wants. She always rationally thinks things through and puts things into perspective for herself and even for others, she always reminds us that if it’s God’s will, it will happen on its own, so there’s no need to rush or worry. This mentality is in fact the exact thing that brought ______ into her life, and into our family. From the first time I met _____, I could tell right away that he was a good guy. He was polite and kind, even to the weird younger sister, which meant a lot. As I got to know him more, I realized that he’s a really easy going guy who works his hardest to make sure people are having a good time. I can tell that he’s a kind and gentle guy at heart, he’s ______’s perfect match. I’m sure she’ll also bring ______ that same kind of joy she brought me in my life. You’re both amazing people but together you complete each other, and now that you’re married, you are indeed one. I genuinely welcome ______ into our family. I would like to wish the newlywed couple a long and very happy marriage and friendship. You’re going to go through a lot but I’m certain that two amazing people can get through anything together. Stick together in times of trouble, laugh together in times of happiness and share your thoughts and emotions with each other always. I love you both so much! God Bless you and the rest of your life together. Please raise your glasses while I toast my sister and her husband: May your love be like the wind, strong enough to move clouds, but soft enough never to hurt. So here’s to love, laughter and happy endings! Cheers! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090917070932AAq5Vg6 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090917070932AAq5Vg6 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:09:32 GMT I have a bf who I have been with for almost 3 years, have a house with him and we have a dog too (and what looks like thousands of guppies :P). The thing is although we aren't officially engaged we feel like we are. We are totally committed to each other in everyway (including taken out a mortgage together) and are sssoo ready to get married and if we had had our own way we would have been engaged long before now. Gosh, we even know when we want to get married and how we will afford everything etc etc! OH has even chosen the ring and has it on hold :( My problem is that we continually talk about weddings, getting married etc. We even know almost exactly what we want when we do get married all that needs to be done is to book the venue!! But my OH has a brother. And this brother is getting married next month. A total farce of wedding if you ask everyone, not that we aren't happy for them, they are a lovely couple, but they are trying to act like they are celeb's or something. On top of this everyone knows its only a matter of time before we get engaged and have done for a while. Which would be fine, except comments from the b2b and brother aren't, for lack of a better word, nice. OH is his bro's bestman and whilst OH was delighted, he has had a hard time. Being told he can't be trusted to get himself ready let alone the groom, that someone else will have the rings 'cause he will lose them, the bil2b was trying to convince us the he HAD to APPROVE OH's speech etc etc. As well as the b2b telling us that we aren't allowed to get engaged before their wedding, that was a year and a half ago!! The whole time we have been together, his bro and b2b have always and I mean ALWAYS had or done something better on that exact same time!! And its all on purpose. For example they got engaged last jan. Oh's 21st was in june and since we had a long weekend decided to go down as a family (with oh's parents) and spend the weekend together chilling out. But that wasn't meant to be. When we got down all of her family just happened to be down along with all of their friends for their engagement do. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE OH'S 21ST!!!!!! I know this isn't a big deal for some people, but OH's 18th was put on the back burner due to his bro (again) so I wanted to make a deal outta this. Anyway, we are just worried what they will do to upstage our engagement/wedding. I mean, I could understand the b2b not wanting us to announce an engagement this close to the wedding, but a year and a half ago?! I guess I am just on a wee bit of a downer as Oh and I could have actually been putting all our ideas into force now :( Anyone else been in a situation? Or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance :) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090916072120AAROMEz http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090916072120AAROMEz Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:21:20 GMT Well in speech class we have do a speech on How to... You can pick anything You want, as long as it’s a how to. It has to be at least 4 minutes and no longer than 5.

He has done nothing but complain about having to make a speech and i have said to him that all he has to do is say thank you and say something nice about me and then he can sit down. I recently went away for a few days and during that time he wrote his speech. I caught a glimpse of it yesterday and it is two A4 sides of paper, much more than i was expecting, and it is hand written. I also saw a sentence about mentioning the guests who couldn't make it - there isn't anyone that really wanted to come that couldn't make it, so it makes me feel he has just pulled it off the internet. I just looked over and he was playing with the files for one of his computer games - which seems to be all he ever does - and said that he should probably type his speech up. I explained that if he types it up, he can edit it with ease instead of crossing things out and re-writing. He said that he didn't need to edit it. I commented about it being really long and some bits didn't seem to apply to our wedding and he just went off one one about me trying to write his speech for him and take over etc. I feel like he doesn't care what is in it because he can't be bothered to put any more effort into it. I don't know what to do. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090914005501AAtaIyC http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090914005501AAtaIyC Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:55:01 GMT Me and my husband-to-be, are both not confident about speaking in front of a large amount of people.

I'm having a civil ceremony with no readings or anything so i don't expect it to last longer than 15 minutes. When it comes to the speeches, the best man isn't doing one because his english isn't very good and the groom himself is shy. The father of the bride isn't one for speeches either. They'll last about 5mintues even though the caterers have allocated 30 minutes for them.. So if you went to a wedding, would you think the speaking parts were so short the whole wedding was a bit pointless or think it was great because the speaking parts are the boring parts? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090909174545AAS78pG http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090909174545AAS78pG Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:45:45 GMT My future father-in-law means well, but he's a little out there sometimes! I respect him and I always listens to what he has to say. But, sometimes, he talks for the sake of talking. When we go with my Fi's whole family on group outings, he will talk to virtually every stranger that walks by and usually they have this perplexed look on their face! When my Fi's brother was married, he made the most long winded and somewhat senseless speech. My future mother-in-law (who has been divorced from FFIL for almost 30 years) was embarrassed and upset, because he was talking nonsense to the guests and talked for like 30 minutes! I'm nervous he's going to do the same at our wedding. My FMIL says she's willing to try to talk to him, but doesn't know if he'll listen. He's kind of stubborn like that (which is why they probably divorced) Anyway, does anyone have any ideas? I'm not trying to be bridezilla. But, I vividly remember his brother's wedding and that speech and it was bad. All the groomsmen and family was like, "What is he talking about?" I remember thinking it was a total mess and this happened almost 4 year ago. Anyone have an advice for my situation? It was so bad, the family still jokes about it! Last Christmas, someone brought it up. My FFIL still thinks the speech was a success. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090907215008AAMWGqr http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090907215008AAMWGqr Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:50:08 GMT after the basic order/layout of a grooms speech at the wedding reception. Jokes etc welcome and appreciated - thanks in advance! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090906163634AAM3Euu http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090906163634AAM3Euu Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:36:34 GMT Say you are engaged and you and your fiance decided beforehand that you wouldn't have any bridesmaids or groomsmen, just a flower girl and ring bearer (they're five). They will walk up together, flower girl will take bride's bouquet and the ring bearer will put both rings on small pedestals. For the venue, you picked an outdoor area with a statue in front of a waterfall. It's a big enough rock that you can comfortably stand three people (the couple and the officiator) on but a fourth person would REALLY be pushing it, but that wasn't any problem because you weren't planning on any officiators. The statue is very high up. Now, after the deposit and everything have been put in on the venue, etc., and pretty much everything is planned, but now the groom's daughter (she's in her teens) has decided that she wants to be a bridesmaid. First off it's not that I don't like her-she's amazing-and if we were having attendants, she would definitely be a bridesmaid-but fiance and I decided together there would be no attendants and we planned everything accordingly. Our plans are untraditional, but it IS our wedding day, and this site is PERFECT. I tried to think of some way to include her as a bridesmaid, and went to the venue and tried to work it out, but there is literally nothing I can really do. The only options are for her to stand right next to the officiator or on the ground by herself-and neither is what fiance and I envisioned. I asked the venue coordinator if there's anything we can do to, and he ruled out having her stand next to the minister because it will get cramped, and he also said he doesn't advise having her stand on the ground because she would be SO much lower-her head does not even reach the level our feet will be on. It also means we have to find a dress within our colors, have alterations done, etc. What would you do? Move the wedding this late into it (which means finding a new place for the reception, too) and losing the money from the deposit, or not have her be a bridesmaid? Also, please note we didn't exclude her from the wedding or anything like that -- she will be announced and is giving a speech at the reception, and she's singing the song for our first dance. What would you do in that position? Nova, I told you there is no other way -- really, I tried. I think I made that pretty clear. Forever29, yeah. She is being announced at the wedding and she'll be giving a speech just like a maid of honor / groomsman would, and she's singing the song to our first dance. That's been the plan from the beginning, and she knew from the start that we didn't want to have bridesmaids or groomsmen. She's only bringing it up now, I have no idea why. Soon to be -- oh, sorry. The flower girl and ring bearer aren't even standing. They're walking up, dealing with the rings and the boquet, and then sitting in the first row with their parents. Michelle, I honestly don't really see a point to that. I compeltely see where you are coming from but she would essentially walk up the aisle and then sit down. We already told the flower girl she is doing the boquet, the ring bearer he is doing the rings, etc., and I can't think of any other purpose she would have other than having an expensive dress, walking down the aisle, and sitting down. DigitalDiva -- it's not like she didn't KNOW all along that we weren't having attendants. She is the one that POINTED OUT the venue to us and said it would look great to stand there. And before that even, it was my fiance's idea to not have attendants. I get that this is a "ready-made" family, but when it all comes down to it, this marriage is between him and I, and she is a teenager. If she had a concern, I feel like she should have brought it up before we put down hundreds on the deposit. It's also NOT like we didn't include her. We HAVE included her, and she knew from the beginning that that was how she would be included. I see where you are coming from, too, but there is no way to stand on the ground without it looking like the weirdest thing ever, and we DO care about how it looks. Our families were joined LONG before now, and the ceremony for us is meant to be a day to acknowledge it with our family and friends, but we want it to look picture perfect. There is not really another place to stand that isn't going to look outright wrong, and the venue already has concrete where the chairs will go. I love her, but I hate that she would decide this late in the game -- after a year and a half of thinking about and planning the wedding -- that she wants to be a bridesmaid. Her father told her no the day she asked him, and he feels the same way I do about it. As for being set in my plans...I'm not. I'm thinking about it. Fiance still says no, but I think if I tell him I really want her to be in the wedding he'll go along with it. I'm just upset that she would bring this up now, and outright expect it. I already have a relationsihp with her, and we're already a family-to the point that when we get married, literally nothing other than how I sign my name is going to change. ilove -- no, it's not a simple solution. That means the flower girl would not have flowers -- instead of dropping petals, she is carrying the bouquet. She would walk up and sit down with no purpose -- and SHE has known from the very beginning that she would be doing this. I think it would be horrible to take away a five year old's job in a wedding, which she has known about all along, to accomodate someone who is just NOW deciding she wants to have a different part than the part we already agreed on. Lonesome -- our relationship is unlikely to change much with the wedding. We've lived together since before the wedding planning even started. And we're not religious or anything like that. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090905222112AACvqb2 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090905222112AACvqb2 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 05:21:12 GMT My brother is getting married tomorrow and I want to trick them into doing something kind of embarassing but not dirty or anything during my speech.

From my research I have learnt how to train a dog to sit, stay, shake, house train, and kennel train! etc. I want a dog more than anything in the world! I am going to take care of him all by myself including walking him, feeding him, playing with him, every day etc. I will do anything to have him! Do EVERYTHING the first time I'm asked. I will keep my room clean so the dog can sleep with me. Amanda (friend) and I are going to get job next year. I will have a lot of money to pay for vet bills or even half of it. You won't have to get me anything for Christmas or my birthdays because a dog would be the best present ever!! He i absolutely perfect for the family! He is house trained, so you won't have to worry about him making a mess somewhere in the house. He is also very smart, happy, loves people, knows how to walk on a leash, loves giving kisses, and is super cuddly! I know how to groom a dog by my self, so that saves money! I will even vacuum every single week end! Did you know that it is scientifically proven that people live longer and have a lower risk of being depressed if there is a dog in the family? If I get up early every day for school, get my homework done and go to bed on time. Then this Christmas can we adopt him? He will be my Christmas present and nothing else! I will pay the adoption fee. All I have to do is e-mail the shelter, tell them we would like to adopt Hobbes(name of the dog), then at Christmas we go and pick him up!!!!! This is what I want and what I'll do to get him! If we don't adopt him no one will and he will be put to sleep, because nobody wanted him! And we will have a chance to save a life! I AM responsible enough to take care of a dog! So can you please give me a chance? I WON'T disappoint you!!!!! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090823233940AAX0QdX http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090823233940AAX0QdX Mon, 24 Aug 2009 06:39:40 GMT in the wedding speech from the sister of the bride what are 5 rules for marrying the bride http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090821201103AA9KzQB http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090821201103AA9KzQB Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:11:03 GMT Good afternoon everyone, for those of you that don’t know me, I’m Jean and I am Ashley good friend and Maid of Honor.

THANK YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. No before I start I would like to thank Ian on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind words, I think you will all agree that they do look absolutely stunning today, Only and quite rightly outshone by the beautiful bride Mrs Lucy Hadlet. Now I have know Ian most of my life and we have done many things together over the years including playing a lot of sports such as tennis, football, table tennis, pool, snooker, cricket and rugby none of which Ian has ever been very good at but he tries hard. There are a lot of smiling faces around here today, but none as happy as the 2 people to my left. They say that marriages are made in heaven well this one was made in FORDY FIELD. I first new that Ian and Lucy were going to get together when every time we played hide and seek as kids they always ran to the same hiding spot as each other Lucy in here black and yellow kappa tracksuit and Ian in his black and orange addidas tracksuit. Perfectly suited!!!!! I think Ian and Lucy make the perfect couple, first of all you have Lucy beautiful, smart, kind, caring, witty and funny I could go on and on, then there’s Ian (Yabba) ----bring out card---- Handsome, smart, athletic, cre-at-ive_ _ _ _ _ _ SORRY MATE I CANT READ YOUR WRITING. Now I am told that I would be failing in my best man duties if I didn’t included a story involving Ian and copious amounts of alcohol, well I have racked my brain over and over and came to the conclusion that Ian has led a sheltered life and been quite boring----APART FROM the one night he let him self go, which involved him drinking his body weight in WHITE LIGHTNING, then preceding to throw it all back up again passing out and having to be carried all the way from Roseworth to glebe to be bumped on his mam and dads door step, before been taken to hospital. I think you should stick to the boring life mate. On a serious note it has been a great honour for me today to be best man for these two amazing people and two of my closest friends, and the amount of people that have made the long journey all this way shows just how special they really are. So LADIES AND GENTLEMEN will you please stand and join me in a toast. MAY THEY SHARE LOVE AND LAUGHTER MAY THERE HANDS BE FOREVER JOINED IN FRIENDSHIP AND THERE HEARTS FOREVER IN LOVE MAY THEY LIVE LONG LAUGH OFTEN AND ALWAYS LOVE HERES TO THE NEW MR & MRS !!!!!!!!! ------------ IAN AND LUCY------------------------------- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090818113819AAQbN0l http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090818113819AAQbN0l Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:38:19 GMT http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090818102600AA3LFh8 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090818102600AA3LFh8 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:26:00 GMT Okay so I have the introduction so far... For those who don't know me, Im Sarah, Christophers very special, one and only, little sister... I am very priviledged to be standing here honoring two of the most special people in my life. My brother Christopher and his beautiful new bride, Jillian... Thats all I have... I really want to incorperate the quote from Audrey Hepburn... " If I get married, I want to be very married" Please I need help please! The wedding is on saturday and im stupid and left it until last minute.... 8( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090817201403AA71zcc http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090817201403AA71zcc Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:14:03 GMT I have to give a speech at my bro's wedding in a couple weeks, and i got the 'welcome to the family' speech. I've never given wedding speeches, so looking to get some feedback! p.s. i don't like talking to groups of ppl, so wanted to make it short and sweet :-) thanks! the couple references to alcohol are 'inside jokes' that everyone at the wedding will get, and so are very fitting, fyi! I first want to take this moment to thank D and S for giving me the overwhelming opportunity to give a speech tonight, because I oh so love being the center of attention and talking to large groups of people! So please forgive me if I talk too fast or read right from my page! In all seriousness, though, there’s no 2 people I’d rather be standing up here for than D and S. I am honoured to be standing here tonight to congratulate my brother, D, on his marriage to his beautiful new bride, S. While they say nobody is perfect, there’s no arguing that the two of you are perfect for each other. S, in you D has indeed found the girl of his dreams. You are a beautiful woman, both inside and out, you are successful, intelligent, and driven. You come from an amazing family, and share many of the same values and beliefs that D and I were raised with. In fact, if I were to try and write a list of all of the things I thought my brother needed and wanted in his ideal woman, I don’t think the girl from the list could come anywhere close to the woman sitting next to him tonight. Not only that, but on a selfish note, I couldn’t have chosen a better sister in law! I love the fact that you’re someone I can talk to and relate to, you make a great shopping buddy since you share my appreciation for clothes and shoes, you love and respect your family, and you like to have fun and we can share a few drinks together…. Errr maybe we’ll take it easy on the whole drinking part! More importantly, you’ve made my brother happier than I’ve ever seen him, and I thank you for that! To my brother, D… I can’t begin to describe how happy I am for you today. I know you’re going to make a great husband, and S is lucky to have you. Since we were kids, besides mom and dad, who I can’t even begin to describe here, we’ve always been each other’s biggest fans. It didn’t matter if it was going to hockey games or dance recitals, other sports or school activities, to more recently graduating from school, moving away, finding new jobs or buying new homes, we’ve always been there for each other. Whether it was being there in person, or making phone calls or sending emails to find out how things went, we’ve always wanted the best for each other and are happy to see one another succeed. With that being said, I can honestly say I’ve never been happier and more proud than I am today to be the one standing on the sideline, cheering you on, as you begin your new life with S. S, ever since you and D started dating last July, I’ve been referring to you as sister, and I’m so elated that tonight I can now officially welcome you to our family and call you my sister! And I think it’s only fitting that the 3 of us toast this marriage in much the same way it started… with a shot of tequila! At this time, I’d like everyone to raise their glasses and help me in honouring D & S. Contratulations, I love you guys! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090816010721AAM0ij4 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090816010721AAM0ij4 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 08:07:21 GMT Im not a writer, just want to do my duty as maid of honor. HELP ME if u can. Let me know if my speech is good or not. my family is a bunch of drinkers by the way. I'd like to make a toast to the bride and the groom and congratulate them. When I look at the two of you together I see two very happy people. Not the kind of happiness you find in objects but the happiness that will last. A deep knowing that you have found something that most people spend their entire lives searching for. Fate throws fortune, but not everyone catches , good for you guys you caught it. Anyone who has ever known Christa knows she is the sweetest most genuine person you could ever meet. She is my big sister and my best friend. She has always been there for me so for me to see that she has found such a kind, funny, outgoing sincere person like Scott, who has such a huge heart, that makes me feel very grateful. By the way Christa who you choose to become your husband is also sort of my brother-in-law, so I would also like to thank you for looking out for me. You both look so beautiful tonight and I love you both unconditionally. And although it is the end of my speech, my praise for you both is everlasting. And I know that no one in my family likes to hold their glass away from their mouths for too long..so congratulations. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090811104245AAXAN4W http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090811104245AAXAN4W Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:42:45 GMT Hi I'm giving my mother away at the end of this month and need to start thinking about a speech!!

He's 20 and I'm 19 and him and his fiance' wanted to get married before he goes active duty army. We've been friends since the 8th grade so I was honored he asked me. The only wedding I went to was my uncle's when I was like 5 and I fell asleep during the wedding, so I don't know anything and was too young to understand weddings. I asked my friend what do I do and he said all I have to do is give a speech. So the problem is I don't know anything about his bride because I just met her today which is a month from the wedding date and I'm supposed to give a speech on why they are best for each other?!! I've been looking online for the duties of a best man and it says basically I have to keep everybody entertained, dance with the bridesmaids, and give a few toasts/speeches about the groom and bride. Thats going to be a problem because 1. I have social anxiety(shy) as it i so I hate being put on spotlight especially infront of people I dont know. 2. I have a girlfriend so I don't want to dance with another female. 3. I know nothing about the bride so, how can I make a speech on how they are perfect for each other? I didn't know the bestman does all of this and basically runs the wedding!!! What am I supposed to do about the speech and dancing? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090806211238AAE9ujV http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090806211238AAE9ujV Fri, 07 Aug 2009 04:12:38 GMT I am my brother's best man and I am just looking for a way to end my speech, so just the toast part I guess? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090806200745AACrUF5 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090806200745AACrUF5 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:07:45 GMT I need to write a best man speech and I know what I want to talk about, but I was just wondering what are some guidelines you know of that I should consider while writing?

The barn I take lessons at is fairly small and is family owned, the only person that takes care of the horses is my instructor, because there's only 5 horses and they're all hers. She knows how badly I want my own horse and offered to build on another stall for a place to board said horse.I just have to sign a contract that says I will board a horse when the stall is finished. I'm experienced enough to own one. I regularly help her with the barn chores, I know what colic is, how to spot it and what to do. I know what founder is. I can groom/bathe/tack...etc. a horse. Yes, I can go at least 5 times a week, and I have a ride. The barn is only about 3 miles away from my home. I can balance school work, chores, and a horse. I have a passion for riding. The only problem is, I can't get my dad to agree. Money is no problem, he just thinks I won't stick with it and that I can't handle it. How can I convince him I LOVE it, and will probably be working with horses my whole life...so I will be sticking with it. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090726201414AAs6rzi http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090726201414AAs6rzi Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:14:14 GMT My father is getting married to a woman that I don't like.
