I think that all best men should be required to watch the wedding toast given by Hugh Grant in "Four Weddings..." I convulse with laughter at each viewing. I think one of the best and briefest toasts that the groomsmen can give is to have the best man toast "To the Bride!" and have the groomsmen stand, shout the same and toss back a glass... just don't toss the glass, as others (like me) will follow suit.

We used the opportunity to thank and introduce our far-flung wedding partiy and those closest to us. My only embarassing moment was my uncle chastising me for not wearing a neck tie with my sport coat.

Trust fund family and humiliating. That marriage did not last long. My ex-brother-in-law made a toast at my marriage to my first husband…”here’s to you Dad, now you have one more dependent”.
