Photos done pudding eaten (dinner was fantastic and dont believe what people say about not eating I ate the lot and I ate a massive breakfast this bride did not loose her appitite) it was time for Speeches, we changed the standard running order so Mr Drifter kicked off proceedings 
who'd have thought he wrote his speech the afternoon before the wedding nothing like the last min for this man!
I loved the speches Mr Drifter told our story so well, it was perfect, next was Dad
after a minor mishap (he had forgotten his glases a borrowed pair were found!) Dad was off. NowDad was a teacher he has taught many of our guests, (including me and OH) he made them all feel included, he spoke of my mum beautifully in a way only those of us who had known her would notice (cue my tears)
This is the point at which maid number 2 told maid number 1 to "think of boobies" ensuring make up was preserved (quick thinking BM number 2)
With dad done and dusted it was time for the all important best mens speech. Note guests take all betting on speeches seriously!
and they were off
the best men were fantastic, Best man number one did a wonderful job of making the toast to Absent family the one job niether my dad or Mr OH felt they could do, and we all laugh. Speeches were one of my favourite things, I was in room of people I loved who know myself and Mr Drifter better than anyone I couldn't have asked for more. (There is something very special about having grown up with your best men and also a little embrassing for the groom knowing someone since you were born gives them a lot of ammunition!)
