Best Man Wedding Speech

Its turning out to be a day packed full new experiences for me.

And from my Dad: Jus the best way to remember your anniversary is to forget just once!

I apologise if those jokes are a bit old but then so are my parents!

If my throat was dry when I started this speech its even drier now, and I can think of no better remedy than to drink to the health, wealth and eternal happiness of the newlyweds.

So please raise your glasses to drink a toast to Brandon and Lisa Haterson.
