Humorous Wedding Toast
Wedding Toast (All names in this toast are made up)

When Dave asked me to be his best man, I told him it would be an honor but I thought he might be better off with someone else…

Then he offered me ten bucks, and I told him I wasn't a man that could be bought…
Then he offered me twenty bucks…

So anyway, good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Joe and it is my honor to be Dave's best man for the day…

I must say I was a little worried about making this speech today, but then I found out the kind of things I was supposed to say as the best man. I learned that my duty was not only to remember the wedding ring and make sure Dave got to the wedding on time, but also to spend 5 minutes at the wedding reception demolishing Dave's character. And I'm not one to shun my duties, so here it goes…

He also promised that if I do a good job today I can be the best man at his next wedding.

I've known Dave for a long time now, and he can be described as hardworking, honest, intelligent, helpful, a great football player, and kk…kkk… sorry Dave I can't read your handwriting.

Now that I told you some things about Dave's personality, I will tell you some stories about his past.

Dave was born on January 8, 1976, and grew up in New Jersey. He moved to Indiana in 2003, his 8th grade year. Despite not having any classes together we became friends almost immediately. Dave excelled in both school and athletics. He played football, lacrosse, and wrestled. Even though Dave got good grades in school, he wasn't always the smartest guy. An example of this is when we went out for pizza and the waiter that was serving us asked Dave if he wanted his pizza cut into 4 or 8 pieces. Dave said that he wanted 4 because he didn't think he could handle

    He grew into my cheerleader, my supporter, my rock, my third parent, and my best friend. When we were younger, I remember him saying he was going to follow me wherever I went. He even meant it with transitioning with grades. Even though he is a whole year behind me, David was determined to be at the middle school exactly when I was to be there. The summer I left for college, it hurt leaving him in Scranton, while pursuing a degree in a town an hour and a half away. I didn't know how to feel without him being next to me.

    I sat in a spacious banquet hall, one of a multitude of friends and family attending the wedding reception. I no longer recall the meal that was served, except that the entrée was some kind of meat—steak, perhaps. My mind wasn’t on the meal, though. I was more concerned with the toast that I, as the best man, was expected to give after the meal. My younger brother—who was the groom, and a longtime Trekker—had dared me to raise my glass, give the Vulcan salute, and, in front of the onlooking crowd, say, “Live long and prosper!” Part of me was tempted, but I knew I’d chicken out. Actually, I was hoping I could find someone willing to give the toast in my place. I never felt comfortable giving toasts.…
