Three to five main points This is a best man speech I am in the process of writing for one of my best friends weddings.
Ladies and gentlemen, if there's anybody here this afternoon who's feeling nervous, apprehensive and queasy at the thought of what lies ahead for Nicole …… it's probably because you have just married Brennan Lockwood
To those of you who don’t know me yet. My name is Steve and I would like to thank Brennan for finally confirming that I am actually the BEST man!
I’ve actually looked forward to this moment for a long time. It will be the first time I’ve been able to speak for five minutes in Brenan’s presence without being interrupted!
Now it’s not that I’m saying that he is loud but he does seem to break a fundamental law of physics that light travels faster than sound…. because with Brennen, you very definitely hear him before you see him.
