| My brother Scott had chosen me to be the best man at his upcoming wedding. It was a couple of weeks before the very day when I received a phone call from my brother, he told me that at 7pm during the reception party I would give a toast for him and his new bride Suzie in front of about 175 people at Willows Lodge. He politely explained that this was my responsibility because he had chosen me as his best man (makes sense really). I came up with these (4) choices and I realized it made some sense as a poem, so here it is. I actually made a piece of toast and shellacked it many times with the first stanza printed on it and carried this toast in my tux coat pocket during the wedding and held it up to draw attention at 7pm, you guessed it - I read the toast. It went over quite well actually if I must say so myself. For father's day 2009 Suzie made up a framed wall hanging of the actual toast and this poem and gave it to my brother. This piece hangs in their home today. |
