My brother and his fiance are getting married on 8/3. They met over the internet a couple of years ago. Pretty much all of our mutual friends know how they met.
However, he was always somewhat embarrassed about how he met and he told everyone where he worked that he met his fiance at a wedding in Canada (I swear that’s what he told them).
Anyway, he is very concerned (with good reason) about my toast at his wedding.
I would be interested in any and all (reasonable) ideas that could be interjected into the toast that would dance all around how he actually met his wife without actually coming out and saying it.
Wow, that is a hard one. I would just stay away from the topic and make fun of other things they/he has done. But, if you must make reference to it I would use a lot of internet words or references. I am not sure if this is really any help, but you said any input.
If you must bring it up, you can always imply it was kind of like a blind date or something. Or put so much in the toast that is obviously not true that nobody will know.
I’m not going to bring it up directly. I want the joke to be an “insider’s joke” just to raise his anxiety level in a small fashion.
My brother and I are very close and I wouldn’t screw up his big day. But I want to have a little fun. That’s why my OP discussed dancing around the topic.
Do a web search for toasts and weddings. There are plenty of canned sentiments which you can tailor to your brother and future sister-in-law’s particular traits.
I’ve been to many weddings and can’t recall any Best Man saying how the couple met, probably assuming that everyone already knew. So if you don’t want to lie or offend the Groom I would just not mention it at all.
Was that any help? Probably not but I’m sending it your way anyhow.
