I was best man and gave a wedding speech recently. I mentioned that the groom had seemed happy with his single life for many years. And then one day, he realized he needed more supervision in his life and decided to get married.

I continued on mentioning that the bride, being from Columbia was 40 minutes late to the wedding. I mentioned that in the back room, the minister counseled us by saying it was a "cultural thing" and don't worry. I told the whole crowd what I told the minister: I said "Well, I"m Irish and I didn't show up drunk".

I then cautioned them to not have children as I know my wife would be traveling to their town all the time to see the baby and I could afford to buy new tires for her car and the price of gas going up and all.

Anyhow, inject a little humor and you'll do just fine.....
