The Night Before the Big Show

😂 Funny 1.7 min read222 wordsFamily Member

Good evening, everyone. I'm [Your name], [Bride's name]'s brother, and I want to start by saying that I'm giving this speech tonight because tomorrow I'll be too busy crying. Don't judge me.

I've already teared up twice today and we haven't even started yet.

Now, for those of you meeting [Groom's name]'s family for the first time tonight, welcome. You're about to discover that between our two families, there is not a single person who can tell a short story. Speeches tomorrow are going to be long.

Consider this your warm-up.

I want to share something about [Groom's name] that I think sums him up perfectly. Last Christmas, he volunteered to cook the turkey. Nobody asked him to.

In fact, several people actively warned him not to. But he did it anyway, and it was actually good. That's [Groom's name] in a nutshell - shows up, takes on the challenge, surprises everyone.

And [Bride's name], my sister, the person who once called me at midnight because she couldn't remember if penguins have knees - tomorrow you're getting married.

I still can't quite believe it.

But I can believe in this. In you two. In the way you argue about what to watch on television and then end up laughing about it.

That's love.

So tonight, let's keep it relaxed. Save the big emotions for tomorrow. For now, let's eat, drink, and be grateful that we're all here together. To tomorrow!
