Welcome everybody.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Mike, I will be the best man tonight. My fiancée Erin and I came all the way from Kingston Ontario to be part of this special celebration, it is a great honor.
If you cant already tell, I haven't had to read in front of a crowd since college, there I learnt to stand up, speak up and then shut up.
I searched best man speeches on the internet for ideas. It told me the best mans speech should be about as lengthy as the bride and grooms love making. With that said I would like to wish you all a good night.
Pete and I have known each other for 17 or 18 years now, I believe it was our strong interest in reptiles, amphibians, and fish that made our relationship so strong. Chatting on the phone like little school girls about what fish can be housed together and what bearded dragons can and cant eat, etc We have lived together several times in Ontario and here in BC. We have partied good and hard together, sometimes until the floor came up and smacked us in the face. I know Pete well. This is my one get out of jail free card. I get to poke fun at Pete and not get beat up for it. Hopefully.
Petes voice and presence definitely fills the room. At the same time he can clear the room in a matter of seconds. I have never met anyone that constantly passes gas with such enthusiasm and pride.
You know, Ive heard Pete talk a lot of many great things; vehicles hes gonna buy, jobs he thinks he landed, things he wants to buy. My response to many of these statements was Ill believe it when I see it Pete. It wasnt until a few months ago, that I actually heard talk of marriage. I knew he was serious, I didnt have to see it to believe it, and here it is.
Pete has always been known to be the life of the party; he is very distinguishable. He is known for having the voice of the wings of an angel. Hes an easy guy to find, and until now, a hard one to tame. My congratulation goes out to you Amy, as you have found the secret to tame the wild beast within Mr. Peter ODonovan.
I applaud you for having the will power to look past the cave man characteristics in Pete, the guy who probably still types with two fingers, and scratches his head and grunts in confusion while using the computer. Pete was pretty excited the first time he punched the monkey on the computer and thought he had won 50 bucks. He immediately asked me where do I get the money? I pointed to a slot on the computer tower. He took a closer look and said no way. I held my laughter in and there was a good long pause before Pete blurted out forget about the stupid monkey, grab a screw driver, lets open this thing up and see how much cash is in it
Gotcha Pete.
What an unlikely jackpot to hit, the two of you have so many things to be proud of. Mainly the loving family you have created for your children. Jordan Dylan, how lucky are you to now have each other, and better yet be role models for your younger brothers. You are all fortunate to have each other; it is a one in a million bond we all dream to achieve.
I wish you many years of happiness, and laughter, as you embark on this adventure of life together. Let us all lift our glasses, one more time for Mr. and Mrs. ODonovan.
