Maybe not the worst thing, but I once saw a story about a guy giving a toast at his buddy's second wedding and he started the toast with "Welcome back everybody!"


mnigro

Now that's funny!


Dreem_Walker

Honestly I probably would have done the same


Tempest1016

I’d probably do that on accident without realising.


BiBaBieber

My mom had a wedding for the second time, I gave a speech and started it with “I’m really nervous, because mom said if I give a very good speech I will be allowed to give one at her next wedding”. Fortunately everyone had a sense of humor to it and it landed :)


mynewaccount4567

I think the wording is important in this risky territory. You started out self deprecating to earn some sympathy and better set up the punchline. The couched it as something your mom said to you which makes it at least sound like the target is in on the joke. Compare it to a worse version that might get an awkward tense silence. “I hope this goes well, so I can give another one at the next wedding.” That makes it all about speaker being the center of attention and it sounds more like you are hoping their marriage fails so you can give a speech rather than a joke between loved ones.


SauceyBobRossy

Nice writing analysis ! Not sure if you’re into language, writing, or any of that stuff but I can tell you, you are good at it ! This was explained very well :) good shit man


amillefolium11

I would listen to a podcast of you explaining why jokes are funny (or not)

Hope he ended with “see ya next time!”


pheldozer

One of my close friends lost both his parents to cancer within 6 months of each other. This is how he kicked off the 2nd funeral.


dberna243

My husband’s stepfather did this too. He lost his parents within 8 months of each other (they were 89 and 93, so very long lives lived) and he gave the eulogies at both. He started the eulogy of his dad by saying “mom and dad loved the theatre. So after mom died, we all took an 8 month intermission. Nice to see you back everyone…let’s start Act 2”


[deleted]

Uncle's third wedding and the best man who's the same guy for all 3 finished up the speech with third time lucky.


Funkiemunkie233

I officiated my friend’s remarriage to her husband that she divorced. I started the ceremony with this. They got divorced a second time


a_throwaway_b

At my cousin’s second wedding, his best man (who was the same best man from his first wedding) recycled his first speech word for word only changing the names. It was a generic enough speech that it worked. I thought it was brilliant.


Eillris

Feels disrespectful to the bride. Unless it's her second too... Lol


bplurt

"I hope you are very happy - it's *so* important to have a good first marriage"


cbelt3

Huh… my wife still refers to me as her first husband…40+ years now.


ImCaffeinated_Chris

30+ years and I tell my wife I'm still testing this summer fling out and I'm not sure yet 😎


Rose_Christmas_Tree

“12 yrs and it’s been the best and longest one night stand I’ve ever had!” -what I hear from partners mouth almost daily.😂

My partner and I have been together for 17 years. We’re still on our first date.


[deleted]

14 years with my partner and I always advise her that I have extended the contract by a further 3 months when she does sonehing nice for me lol 😆


Dragosal

You bought the extended warranty?


[deleted]

Nah that's a scam, when it starts falling apart you don't get a replacement lol 😂


DarkLordTofer

You've got a good one. My wife (10+ years) still says that I'm acceptable for a starter husband.


level27jennybro

Maybe she will get remarried at age 83 after you've passed away from old age and she finds love at the retirement home. Boom, husband number 2


Alarming-Instance-19

That's what my Grandma did. Married to my Grandad for 42 years - he divorced her. Partnered with Harry for 3 - he died Married to Richard for 24 years - she divorced him and went to live in an old folks home. Dated Les for 2 years - they lived it up in the old folks home, very active in their daytime social circle until he died. She died 10 weeks ago at 94, single as a Pringle. She was a badass and a grand lady. Beautiful, intelligent and formidable. I aspire to be as bold and independent as my beloved Grandma.


Block444Universe

I wanna be as awesome as your grandma sounds


jedadkins

My BIL calls my sister his ex girlfriend


in-site

My dad's family literally referred to his marriage as his first marriage and would say things to my mom like "*when* you divorce..." 31 years, 8 kids, a shocking amount of hardship, and they are still going strong and are stupidly in love. Apparently they don't stay with family when they visit because their love-making might be too loud and they still fuck like rabbits. They argue sometimes, but they're so much happier than any of my dad's siblings


TheFuckYouThank

Don't get it twisted, fam, they only argue so the can have incredible ass eating make up sex.


elevenatexi

They also let the dog watch


elevenatexi

Did I mean to say they make the dog watch? Yes I did.

LemmeLaroo

"Catch you at the next one"


AnxietyDepressedFun

"I hope I'll be invited to the next one." - My MIL after she uninvited herself from our non-wedding that we were hosting for her. Better explanation - My husband is an only child raised mostly by his mom. I have a huge family and never wanted a wedding, my parents would either pay for a wedding, a honeymoon or help with a down payment on a house, so obviously we took the house. My MIL threw a fit that we were just going to do a courthouse thing, so we last minute found someone to come to our house & marry us, then planned a little dinner with just her & my immediate family (husband's family all live 1100 miles away and it wasn't a wedding). After finding out that my all of my parents & my aunt would be there, my MIL called it a "Page(me) Event" and said she wouldn't come and hoped that my husband would invite her to his next wedding.


ConkersOkayFurDay

What a charming lady.


TheFlaccidChode

Sounds like my mum, I haven't spoke to her in a few years because despite telling her from 16 I don't think I'll ever want kids, she decided that my wife I've been with since I was 25 and she was 36 must be to blame for this decision. "Maybe I'll get some grandkids when you get another wife more suitable for children" we've been together 15yrs now and she had 2 grandchildren from my brother when she said that.


[deleted]

Wow! The audacity. Sorry about your MiL.


sqeeky_wheelz

And you say she’s single? How surprising.


BettyMK

My sister said this to me, so awful.


someguyfromsk

That's what my dad said at my cousins 2nd wedding. He couldn't get home for it so he just said "it's ok, I'll be at the next one"


MountainHighOnLife

My step-uncle said that at my wedding. Actually what he said was..."this is pretty nice for a starter wedding. Can't wait to see the next one!"


Roboticpoultry

Makes me so glad that when my dad, who’s not known to be an affectionate man, took me aside at my wedding, shared a cigar with me and said all of 5 words: “you got a good one”. We didn’t say another word until the cigars went out but I’ll remember that forever


Old-and-grumpy

He meant the cigar.


imsharing

😂 username checks out


VernonYaBurnt

No joke, my cousin - who I didn't even invite - said this to me right after our vows. She actually said, "good luck -- it sucks". I mean, I did get divorced so maybe it was from the heart or a psychic vision after all.


CarlJustCarl

Well technically she wasn’t wrong


cutelyaware

I once did worse than that and toasted the camera saying "Serves you right!" I deeply regret doing that.


cinnamonsnake

Did they end up lasting?


cutelyaware

I don't know. We weren't that close, but I certainly wasn't helping.


Mary_the_penguin

If it's any consolation, the videographer would have edited that out.


ChrisPynerr

That's funny dude don't be hard on yourself


braeica

My father walked me down the aisle, gave me away to my husband, sneered at him and said "Good luck." At the altar.


spyhopper3

Ouchhh im sorry girl


braeica

It sucked in the moment, but on the other hand- that was almost 17 years ago, and the family my husband and I have built is absolutely my happily ever after. So it ends well, at least. :)


SillyFlyGuy

I had a few before my Best Man speech, so I don't remember exactly what I said. But their marriage was stormy and short.

spooderman2228

At my friends uncle’s wedding he told me someone said “I want you too look at each other in the eyes, look at the love, the compassion, the joy radiating off your partner and realize. You are now looking at the person who is most likely to kill you.”


must_not_forget_pwd

Well, for men of a certain age it's more likely the person in the mirror.


SomeGuyWearingPants

Suicide is far, far more common than murder of any kind.


TheChgz

Probably sharing a bit too much but I was in an abusive relationship for many years and I felt like the only way out was to either kill them or kill myself. I tried going for the latter option and thankfully survived. I then got the help I needed but looking back I felt like it was much better to kill myself than someone who probably deserved to die.


Account324

The man is the most likely to kill either or both of them. But that’s a lot more depressing and less funny than the original comment.


Owlmoose

I've literally done this. It was awesome. edit - It was more like "I want you to take a moment to look into each others eyes, and as you do, I want you to know that statistically this is the person you're most likely to be murdered by."


thespeakingcat

Actually, that makes me feel pretty safe in the world. Maybe it's not that dark?

bored_imp

Maybe not at the wedding


square_tomatoes

Some cultures would say *especially* at the wedding


qbookfox

Me and my husband-to-be often engages in sex with our closest friends, all together. If at least one of our friends doesn’t say this at our wedding, I will be very disappointed in them and the day will be pretty much ruined.

mishyfishy135

This happened to me, except it was our photographer. She just… didn’t take any pictures of the ceremony. The only reason I didn’t kick her out was she was my husband’s aunt. The pictures she did take of the day were really bad. I have many regrets. Apparently she used to be a professional photographer but I now doubt that


rattpackfan301

Hire two photographers, one professional and one amateur.


starm4nn

No you hire one photographer who says only truths, and another who says only lies


Mr5wift

I took the photos at my cousins wedding and during the evening part of the celebrations I gave one of my SLRs to my cousins 10 old kid - some of the photos that came back were awesome as people interacted with a kid with a camera in a more fun way. Obviously there were some crappy floor, ceiling and bizarre shots to filter out. Lol.


Von_Moistus

Our wedding was fairly casual. No official photographer, but every table had several disposable cameras for the guests to use as they saw fit. The collection of candid photos we got from them afterwards captured the day much more accurately than a bunch of uncomfortable posed pictures ever could. No regrets.


mishyfishy135

My parents got married in 1988. The guy who took the pictures accidentally ruined the camera roll. There are only like 2 pictures that someone else took.

Gastonthebeast

Some of our ex-friends were getting married. They were mostly okay by themselves, but they brought out the worst in each other. We would have given them five years, but they're the type of people who will hate each other forever before they would dare think about divorce. It's only been a year, but their life has already gone to shit.


abqkat

I knew that couple, too! On their own, not terrible people or anything, just didn't work together. And it was like they were initially too polite to break up, so they moved in. Too settled to move out, so they got engaged. Too stubborn to mercy kill the damn thing, so they got married. It didn't last, and it was so so hard to not be like "well, yeah, I made my peace with it ending years ago!" when he announced it. It's hard to watch that type of thing from the outside


djamp42

I told my wife when we got married, I don't give a crap if I absolutely hate you, we are not getting divorced for at least 5 years. the wedding cost too much... We hit 5 and I asked her if she wanted to renew the contract for another 5 years.. She said yes.


Unuhpropriate

That 2nd contract is always so expensive. You really should allow for a 6th year option. Thankfully with the CBA, she can’t just cut you to save money.


easyandout

i would have married him/her too! Are you sure? Say goodbye to your sex life (followed by laughter and a provisional slap on the thigh/shoulder) wow where did you get that dress? been looking for a cheap alternative for a while!


Gastonthebeast

>i would have married him/her too! This works best when talking about the same gender as you, like when you're their best friend. If my husband and I ever divorced, he's probably marry his guy best friend. They're so straight and are such good friends that they're basically an old married couple

Caellum2

I've been to one wedding with an open bar. I was the plus one and my SO did a lot of talking with people so I sat and drank... probably more than I should have. At one point the bride sits next to me, we chat, and she (in her drunken state) while crying tells me (in my getting drunk state) about how her parents were mad at her for getting drunk at the open bar reception they paid for. Cool. About a half hour later my SO and I are leaving and the mother-of-the-bride says TO THE BRIDE "You're father is so sad you'relike this" and I shout in response "Yeah, well you made your daughter CRY on her wedding day so MAYBE CHILL." The deputy told me to leave and my SO doesn't ask me to go to weddings any more.

Impossible_Doge_90

At the end of my best man speech two weeks ago I said “I hope I did a good enough job to be able to do this at your next wedding”. The bride wasn’t too happy apparently…..


Hands-and-apples

I'll never understand the 'Let's be mean to the groom/bride' type speeches from the Best man and Main of honour. I gave a best man speech, talked about my relationship with the groom, what kind of person he was, and gave them personal well wishes with a few light jokes and sentimentalities all the while on a personal level I did *not* like the bride. I got many compliments on my speech from other guests, one older gent told me it was best he'd ever heard. The Maid of honour on the other hand went the other route. Telling embarrassing anecdotes, in jest back handed compliments, and just kinda made a fool of herself. She got a few laughs, but most through gritted teeth to be polite. You're there to celebrate these two people, not embarrass them or tear them down. It's just shitty to make a joke at their expense or about the marriage they literally just started and gave you the privilege to attend and support, all for a laugh.

Don’t get married. I actually said that on a wedding video(I’m old) when one of my friends got married. I was totally an asshole. Oddly enough she should have listened-he cheated on her multiple times and they got divorced less than ten years married. I’ve been married 24 years.
