I found out the other day my oldest brother is finally engaged. He will be getting married in July and will be 35. He is the 3rd to marry, and is the oldest of 5.
And I'm the best man.
Him and his fiancee thought it would be cool if the youngest of 5 is the best man for the oldest of 5. I just thought "Bachleor party". I don't even have to drive the car around at the wedding cause they are going to use a fire engine. But I be damned if I'm not gonna ride on that thing to the reception. The only thing is I have to give the toast/speech at the reception, which I have no problem speaking in front of strangers, but my mom told me to tell her what I'm going to say. When my 3rd brother married (he was the first), my second brother Greg didn't want to give the toast and asked me earlier if I would. I told him that if I was to give the toast, I would stand up and say "To Brad, you were the first of us to ruin your life."
So I've been thinking of saying "To Peter, you were the first of us to choose a wife worth keeping."
And of course, I'm going to get another 'N Sync dance in at the reception.

I can't think of anything to put here right now.
