My Cousin's Wedding

I recently attended my cousin's wedding on June 27 at the beautifully landscaped Andover Country Club. It was a truly gorgeous affair, with the somewhat rushed ceremony held outside and being threatened with rain. After that we spent the rest of the evening inside the country club and as far as I am aware, it never rained. The food was delicious, but the highlight of the evening was a speech made by the groom's best man and brother. This speech had been fretted over by everyone but the guy who was making it because he had refused to write it down. All the worry was for naught because not only was it one of the funniest and greatest speeches I've ever heard, and this includes the speeches made by professional comedians, but it was also very deep and sweet, it showed how close the brothers were and how happy the best man was for the groom. The closing line of the speech was directed at the bride about her husband and was received with much applause and uproarious amusement: "If, for any reason, you find yourself in a cardboard box at the top of the stairs, he's not going next."
I laughed so hard I cried, as did many others present and in my personal experience, this speech will go down in the history of our witty, dysfunctional, and ADD prone family.
