Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I would like to start by thanking Frank on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind comments and echo the fact that they look wonderful and performed their role fantastically well, despite the inevitable and healthy rivalry that can sometimes occur.

Understandable, I thought - until I got closer and heard them saying, 'You!', 'no, you!'

Good evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you to this joyous and stressful occasion.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man.
