Im the best man in my buddy's wedding tomorrow and I still cannot settle on a good quote to end my speech with. I've pretty much got most of the speech down, just looking for that perfect quote. We've known each other for a little over 15 years. Let's hear what ya got; funny, serious or words of wisdom. Thanks!
I read this at my daughters wedding directed at my Son-in-Law. To keep your marriage brimming With love in the loving cup, Whenever you’re wrong, admit it; Whenever you’re right, shut up. Ogden Nash Gary
A happily married couple never worries about who is the better half. You’re still young if the morning after the night before still makes the night before worth the morning after. The quality of a good marriage is in direct proportion to the commitment to love by both parties. Put your best foot forward every day. At least keeps it out of your mouth.
I said at my brothers welding Something along the lines of... Just remember Tim... Its "for better or worse"... AND we all know what that really means... You couldn't do any better and Katie couldn't do any worse. Was about as "risqué" I could get with the crowd. i quickly found out the older generation on her side is a "bit" uptight. I mentioned something about booze while we were at the rehearsal and it was nearly one of those "record scratches and all goes quiet" moments. Whoops.
Gary, if i used that one he'd probly punch me in the family jewels and say "don't ever back down!" haha Thanks for all the ideas! I ended up finding this one "my wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will so deepen and grow, that years from now you'll look back on this day, Your wedding day, the day you loved each other the least"
Fatherly Advice to Newlyweds Dr. Brian J. Kopp My advice to the Newlywed? While you're young, use your head! Have a baby... Have a few! I don't mean one, or even two. What about four? How about eight? (Making babies is really great!) Don't worry about braces, or college, or clothes. Their every need God already knows. Then when you're old, in time of need, with no more clamoring mouths to feed, look to your children that you (and God) made, to be your joy, comfort, and aid. Your babies today are your greatest treasure. You will receive in the amount you measure. God's greatest gift to husband and wife? A newborn baby. An eternal life! * * * from Amazing Grace for Fathers (The writer's only attempt at poetry, written on a napkin at a wedding reception.)
