Shirley and I are heading over to East Yorkshire this afternoon. We'll be away till Saturday and in the intervening time I won't be blogging or visiting other people's blogs. I am going to be the best man at my friend Tony's second wedding thirty two years after I was the best man at his first wedding He is marrying Pauline. Shirley has made half of the wedding cake.
My best man's speech is now written which is a relief. I was a bit like that hare in one of Aesop's fables. It would have been better to crack the speech days or even weeks ago but I left it till the last minute. Silly me. Still I am pretty happy with it and I am sure it will be well-received. All those years in school classrooms means that delivering speeches is something I take in my stride. Like water off a duck's back. In fact I quite enjoy that kind of situation and assembled wedding guesrs are generally "with" the speakers - not against them.
To accompany this little blogpost, I am adding three photographs I took on Tuesday morning while walking around Stanage Edge. I will get back to you at the weekend. Take care.
Have a great speech and enjoy the celebration.
ReplyDeleteI will obey.
DeleteHave fun! I'm sure the speech will be great.
ReplyDeleteI will obey.
DeleteEnjoy the wedding and the trip!

DeleteHave fun! I am sure your speech will be well received. Maybe writing it at the last minute will keep it more spontaneous and natural than something that has been prepared weeks or even months before.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo here makes me want to go out for a hike immediately.
There was smoke in the air from the controlled burning of moorland vegetation.
DeleteHave a great time, and behave yourself!
ReplyDeleteI will obey.
