i've had the pleasure of doing 3 in my life - and I think they've got better each time i had to do one - the last one made a reference to the top 40 music charts 9 months before the groom was born - making a play on what his mum and dad were getting jiggy too ...
(i'll be honest i choose what best fitted from the charts around that date) there was one song called -
Gimme, gimme, Good loving by crazy elephant
so a quick pun about his mums nickname for his dads little man - the crazy elephant sound effects and a trunk motion high five to the grooms dad which got a good laugh
then lead in to about how curiosity got the better of me as i looked at my parents - and how for me they got busy to -
Chuck Berry and My Ding-a-Ling - which just brought the roof down!!!
lots of things really can make it go well - one i did a A3 ringbound oversize speech booklet - which as i turned the pages over the front of a speaking lecturn revealed to everyone in the audience except the top table - phrases on the back like -
excuse me I'm really nervous - does anyone have spare underpants - that smell isn't really me - I got roped in last minute - I was the stripper at the hen night - I don't even know the guy - I only really know her - like really know her !!!
i knew it went well after i could see the audience straining to see the back of the next sheet - and the confusion on the groom - bride and parents as to why everyone was laughing as i turned each page
think a bit outside the box and have a laugh - take the piss out of him - out of his parents - even her parents if there good sports and take the piss out yourself
