Tim's Wedding Speech

One of the hobs of the Best Man's Speech is to embarrass the Groom. So I was trying to figure out what events in Tim's life were embracing. Which of his past actions would cause him mortification if brought up in front of his friends and family? To be honest — I was straggling.

Tim's actions would cause embarrassment in others. Most would blush if it was mentioned that we lived in a flat that considerer mould as a pet. We would move uncomfortably if our past associations with a rohoipnol dealer were brought to light in public. If — during a reminiscence — it was revealed that you strained your ankle, while sitting down, you may feel more than a little awkward.

However, none of these actions seem to embarrass Tim. Even if you remind him that he used yoga to improve his ballet moves that he used in netball, he will remain… unmoved.

So Tim in remarkably immune to embarrassment. He does not suffer from mortification because he is comfortable with life. He is comfortable with his place in the great scheme of things. He is comfortable with the direction that things are moving.

Today you two move in a new direction: together into the future. Your relationship cost me a flatmate, but it is a burden that is easy to bear because of your happiness.

The other job of the Best Man's Speech is an easy one. I ask you to charge your classes and toast: Tim and Fi.
