Well since I posted http://www.bavarian-board.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=32987&KW=365+days&PN=0&TPN=1 - this post nearly a year has gone by! Two weeks on Saturday and I'll be a married man...and I am seriously bricking it! We were at a wedding a week past on Saturday and there I was sitting listening to the groom with the "I Robert take...." part and it then hit me that this was going to happen to me very shortly and ever since then I have been getting really nervous. Paaaarrrrppppp Got a rough draft of my speech done but just to cheer myself up can anyone on here suggest any clean/ish jokes that I can use in my speech?

Good luck mate.
I was at a wedding and the groom told the room booking joke.
"I called the hotel to book our room for after the proceedings. The woman asked me if I would like the bridal, but i said no, Id just rather hold her by the ears, These hotels will do anything to get money out of you :D Lead Brick anyone? ------------- |

1. Many people say that your
wedding day is the happiest day of your life. So, if
that's the case, I'd like to ask the husbands amongst
you, does that mean it's all downhill from here? 2. Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it 3. During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer: "Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I'm supposed to promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'be faithful to her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave that out." He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked away satisfied. On the day of the wedding, when it came time for the groom's vows, the pastor looked the young man in the eye and said: "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?" The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, "Yes," then leaned toward the pastor and hissed: "I thought we had a deal." The pastor put a $100 bill into the groom's hand and whispered: "She made me a better offer."4. Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence 5. Marriage is a 3-ring circus - engagement ring, wedding ring and Suffering. 6. A happy marriage is a matter of give and take; the husband gives and the wife takes. 7. Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock. 8. The definition of a perfect Wife? - one who helps the husband with the dishes... 9. The Minister noticed the bride was in distress so asked what was wrong. She replied that she was awfully nervous and afraid she would not remember what to do. The Minister told her that she only needed to remember 3 things. First the aisle, cos that is what you'll be walking down. Secondly, the alter because that is where you will arrive. Finally, remember hymn because that is a type of song we will sing during the service. While the bride was walking in step with the wedding march, family and friends of the groom were horrified to hear her repeating these 3 words ...Aisle, alter hymn (I'll alter him) 10. A little kid asks his Dad, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?" "No idea," replied the Father, "I'm still paying for it..." 11. Marriage - an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters. 12. There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage. 13. The man who says his wife can't take a joke, forgets that she took him (Oscar Wilde) 14. The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret. 15. Isn't it quite funny how History repeats itself? [Bride's Age] years ago your Mother and Father were putting you to bed with a dummy...and now it's happening all over again 16. I've known many, Liked not a few, Loved only one, I toast to you 17. May we never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten. 18. Here's to my bride: she knows everything about me, yet loves me just the same. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Sounds like Killian is the man to hire for your wedding for entertainment lol! Good luck mate. I did it 4 years ago and I have no regrets. The hard bit was actually the organisation. Once I got there I don't know why but I had no nerves at all. It'll all be over in a flash! One thing I was told by a few people was no matter how much you drink on your wedding day/night, you will not get drunk! I didn't believe a word until I necked 4 bottles of beer at home before we left for the reception then a very large glass of JD with a splash of coke. The rest of the night was spent with friends buying me drinks like absynth and other delights and when we got back to the hotel, I had another few glasses of JD. I felt a little tired but sober as a judge! You'll have to let me know if you get the same! Good luck! Mike -------------

Yeah and don't I know it! Cheers K for the jokes. Might drop one or two of those into my speech. I'm not too sure about the staying sober bit even though you are drinking a huge amount....Tell you what I'll practise that at my stag doo!

Good luck Andrew. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it seems and i can honestly say that my wedding day was a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh and don't worry about the speech. The grooms job is just to thank everyone. It's the best man who is supposed to make everyone laugh. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |

Mine has said he won't mention a few things which I'm kinda glad of. It is nothing she doesn't know about but it's not the sort of thing you want your mum and gran knowing about! My Best man got chatting to my old boss at my house warming party earlier in the year and then sent e-mails around the whole office asking if they had any dirt on me to pass on to my best man. Not that he got anything cos I'm a good boy.......... One thing about having a friend who is also into model trains, he can't make fun at me for that at least!

Yeah while it is funny in this sort of conversation, it is a huge no no on the big day! Our Toastmaster warned my best man not to tell stuff like that. I've only got one ex girlfriend coming to the wedding! It was a long time ago and I was a student at the time, much beer involved etc.. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!
