Intro
Well, today I do not feel like I am losing a sister. Instead, I feel like I am welcoming an ex-boyfriend permanently into the family. I am the bride’s sister, and I actually dated the groom’s brother. It worked out much better for them, but thankfully, me and my ex remain friends so Thanksgiving will not have to be an awkward affair.
I want to thank my sister for giving me the honor of standing as her Maid of Honor. I want to thank the groom for making her so happy. To all of you who have come to share this day, I thank you as well.

Best Man's Baseball Speech
The best man, recounts how the bride and groom first met at a Cubs game and relives his Ninja Turtle days with the groom.
So welcome everyone! I'm told I'm not only the best man, but I'm Dan with a plan. I've known this day was coming officially for about a year, but I guess I first knew somehow about 20 years ago when Mike and met. Of course, back then we wouldn't have guessed we'd someday love girls or just how we'd be celebrating so many years later.
Back then I think our thoughts went as far as what was in our lunch bag and how many hours it was until school was out, so we could tie on our masks, battle evil megalomaniacs, and yell Cowabunga!
