I'm going to be a best man!
2004-12-08, 8:05 AM #1
WOAH!!

Out of the blue my best mate texted me while I was in town with my housemates saying 'Well I think you need to get ready for your best man duites! (If you see what I mean) Assuming you will take the job? Don't worry it's not next week or anything though. And I can still go out and get pissed.'

To use an American phrase, that really came out of left field! He's been seeing his fiancee (God that looks wierd) for just over a year, and they've been sharing a house for the last few months - he must've proposed to her today or yesterday! I'm going out to a black tie ball tonight, so I've collared him for celebratory and investigatory drinks tomorrow!

I feel all old and responsible! I'm gonna have to organise the Stag Night, and hire the stripper... ;)

But WOAH!!!! He's my age dammit! I've only just got a girlfriend after a year long dry spell!

Still hasn't sunk in properly, but I'm sure after a few whiskies it will :D

Freaks you out, doesnt it? Nothing makes you feel old and like you've acheived nothing than a friend or someone you went to school with getting married.

Of course if you think that's weird, one of my classmates recently married our psychology teacher...

Clare and Giraffe are engaged, that's close enough for me!

The idea of anyone my age getting married is pretty scary frankly, I don't really see why you'd want to. (Though perhaps it's that old "when you know, you know" argument)



ok, I'm just not making sense....java makes my head hurt....

Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

Gotta use the classic best man joke in your speech:

"Being asked to be best man is much like being asked to have sex with the Queen. It's a great honour, but no-one really wants to do it."

Haha... You could precede that with the classic "If I could just say a few words, I'd be a better public speaker".

*tip* For your speech, get some keys, and give them to random women there and give one key to the vicar, that say

"now I realise that (name) has had quite a few girlfriends over the year, so if anyone still has keys to his flat, can they return them now"

get all women to return the keys, followed by the vicar last...

*/tip*

Hehehe, I love that one
nope.

Ah, between me and the boys we have plenty of ammunition for the best man's speech.... hehe

I'm just really flattered to be asked, especially as we're a really tight bunch of friends and it must've been a tough decision.

It won't be for a while - we need to graduate first, but I can't wait: it's gonna be awesome!

(MWUUUUUUAAAHHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH)

I know what you mean. The early, mid, hell even the late, 20s are the years to get out there and have a blast. I don't see the point in getting tied down so early, but it wors out for some people and that's cool for them.

It's odd right, but also an honor, to participate in someone elses wedding. Oh and as the best man you gotta throw him a bachelor party, make it good hehe
