Humorous Wedding Speech for a Sister of the Groom
Ladies and Gentlemen you'll be pleased to know I am only going to speak for a couple of minutes because of my throat..... if I go on too long Angie has threatened to cut it.
However, before I begin, on behalf of John and Angie I would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this the special day that it is - and I think we can all agree it has been splendid so far.
Well, I knew it would be difficult to follow a speech made by John and I was right .... I couldn't follow a bloomin word of it. When John asked me to be his Best woman I felt very privileged at first, but then as the big day approached I thought why did he ask me? what had I done that was so wrong? I then remembered a good definition of being asked to be the Bestman, is like being asked to make love to the Queen Mother - its a great honour, but nobody wants to do it. But even so, I still agreed to be John's Best woman and here I am today.
So, before I commence to slander John's character as is traditional, I'd just like to thank him for lending me a book entitled "The Bestman's Checklist". I must confess I was mystified by some of the things I was expected to do.
(1) Get the Groom to the Church sober and on time - well ladies and gentlemen I think you could all agree I have completed by first duty splendidly.
(2) Bring a Chequebook for payments the groom may have forgotten - well kn...

Finally, on behalf of the bride and groom I would like to thank everyone for sharing their special day, it is a true millstone - sorry milestone in their lives. On behalf of myself I wish you'd all stayed at home - as things would have been a lot easier on me. I started planning this speech about 5 months ago and I expect you all feel like I've been delivering it equally as long. But now it gives me immense pleasure (not to mention relief) to invite you to all stand and raise your glasses in a toast to John and Angie. To love, laughter and happily ever after. To John and Angie CONGRATULATIONS
I’m guessing that my son might rename the "Rehearsal Dinner" to the "Rehearsal Dinner Kegger". The invitations would not read “Gracious dinning from 7 to 10” but rather, “Raucous Drinking from 7 until the cops show up.”
Bernard wore a smug look on his face as he told John of their accomplishments. "We have met some of the most intelligent men of the world here at this island, and we found a way to overthrow this so called civilized society which has tried to subdue us one too many times. We destroyed all the soma in London, and right about now, all England is in an uproar. We were able to get you out in time; before anyone tried to come for you, youíre to blame for all this, you know."
On behalf of my beautiful wife and I, we would like to thank you all for coming along, and sharing this very special day with us. And a huge thank you for the wonderful presents.
A big "celebration" dinner was planned for John's going away. All of his family and close friends came to enjoy good food and fellowship before leaving in the morning. His parents were to drive him to the airport where he would fly to the army base. The same base his father trained at many years ago. John's father was proud of his son, but also a little concerned, for he realized the seriousness of this war.
On behalf of the bridesmaids, I’d like to thank you, Victor, for those kind words. It was a pleasure keeping you company at the altar this morning and I’m always pleased to see more of the competition getting married off – especially with all these lovely bridesmaids around.
From the beginning of John’s experiences with the new world he encounters, the society alienates him as an outsider. Indeed, as soon as John yelled out “Father” to the Director, “laughter broke out, enormous, almost hysterical, peal after peal, as though it would never stop” (Pg. 151). John soon feels alienated on a personal level in his disagreement with the society’s ideals in a conflict with Dr. Shaw. While John argues that “shortening [Linda’s] life by giving her so much” soma isn’t right, Dr. Shaw claims that
When John had recently entered the Brave New World, still open and accepting to everything around him, his first real intimate situation, although it may have been synthetic, shows the beginning of ...
There are many ways for people to take the role of being a parent. One of the most popular methods is adopting. It’s the process of taking in a child in whom is being given away by their birth parents and to another willing couple or person to raise them as their own. The number of children who are orphans and put in foster homes is increasing everyday. In order to adopt, the couple or person has to live in a stable environment to secure a healthy lifestyle for the child. In addition, it is important to understand that children who are adopted still have a genetic and psychological connection with their birth parents. Moreover, this is a positive action that gives children a home and a loving family.
Through The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge has created a masterpiece. This epic reworks the ballad form so that it comes alive and speaks to the Romantic Age, breathing a story as strange and delightful, mystical and wonderful as the mystery of life itself. The raw power of the language, the startling speed at which it hurls you along and the arresting questions of the poem fill your spirit with wonder at the operation of nature and the awesome mystery of evil.
3. Lastly, under no circumstances will you swear at our wife, if there are ladies present.
I have a large library of stories to tell you that will leave the groom embarrassed and humiliated, but out of respect for him on his big day I have decided not to tell them. So I'm not going to tell you about the time he vomited over a taxi driver's head or ended up in hospital on his stag do.
Ladies and Gentlemen – I’ll start by thanking Brian on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind words.
Good Evening! For those of you who don?t know me, I?m Charlotte, the very proud sister of our glamorous Bride. I want to start by congratulating Kari and Ernest, and thanking all of you for coming here today.
The main reason I wanted to make a speech was to personally say thank you to some very special people who have contributed to today:
Coleridge contributes his Christian beliefs within allusions of Jesus Christ being represented by the albatross. Likewise, he paints the repercussions that came to the Mariner after he killed one of God’s creations. Withal, Coleridge includes the most drastic of consequence that came from killing the albatross, the Mariner’s unknown knowledge of his own death. Additionally, Coleridge includes the despairing sight of the Mariner’s crew’s souls leaving to paradise without him. The sin of killing the albatross was the sin that ruined the Mariner’s life, causing him an eternity of guilt carried forever in his lost
