Humorous Wedding Speech by a Friend of the Groom

Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen.

I would first like to thank you all for coming today and helping to make Marcus and Adrian's wedding such a memorable and special occasion. Personally, I wish you'd all stayed at home and made my job less nerve wracking.

This was great for me because he would generally have a spare bike for me to ride. In fact, I spent an entire summer riding around with great pleasure on Marcus's Chopper.
