I do anenormous amount of video work shooting and editing. One of the best parts of shooting weddings, besides being a part of one of the most important days in a person’s life, is capturing unique moments only seen at a wedding. This unusual toast is one such example. The toast by the father of the bride about his daughter is by far the FUNNIEST toast I have ever heard!

He could keep me entertained for hours. He never told me the same story twice in about two years. He explained, “In those old days there was nothing else to do. No Television, no Radio worth listening to. We used to all take turns in entertaining one another.” Sample: “When a Maid of Honour loses her honour what can a man do – but get her honour back again?” Then I saw in my mind’s eye this vista of jolly good chaps like so many Allan Quartermains out of the novels of Rider Haggard, sitting around with their whiskies-and-soda or gins-and-tonic (note the correct, nifty pluralisations), fancy-waistcoated and sporting flamboyant face plumage, entertaining one another with tall stories: preposterous battles fought and won, buxom chambermaids charmed out of their knickers, blackguards thoroughly horsewhipped, cads sent packing with their tails between their legs; husbands, who couldn’t believe their luck in gaining such …
