Powerpoints! That's funny! Actually, I would suggest you work that into your toast somehow. For example,
- You can start with, "You will have to excuse me, but as some of you may know, I am lost without my powerpoint slides..."
- You can start with "On the first slide, we can see how the demographics come into play...oh wait -- wrong speech!"
- If you want to be really creative, you can give your toast via powerpoint! Why not? Most DJ's these days have AV systems that would allow you to plug in a laptop. Ex: as part of your presentation, you can bring up two separate pie charts that represent your bro and his bride's lives, and then animate them to come together as a heart. (Sappy, I know, but effective) You can have two bar charts that merge into a house and say that the two of them alone is just data, but together, they become a home.
If you use the third toast, you would be more comfortable giving the toast, and if you do it right, you can have a humorous and heart felt toast that will be remembered by all.
Just my $0.42,
-Z-man.
PS: Is this your brother that I have met in the past up north? If so, given where he works, he would totally understand the powerpoint toast!
