i need your help ladies!

So I'm in my friend's wedding this weekend, and all of the members of the bridal party are being asked to say something at the rehearsal dinner.  Like a good wish, funny story, etc...

Since I'm pretty bad at telling jokes or retelling funny stories, I thought I'd share a nice (short) passage or saying about love/marriage - any suggestions????

Re: i need your help ladies!

  • A nice thoughtful toast is always good.

    One of my favorite things that people say at wedding is 

    "My greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will so deepen and grow, that years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least"

    you can also look up wedding toasts online

  • Courtney's suggestion was great.

  • Thanks girls!!!  I found something funny - I'm not an overly sappy person, and I think the B&G will appreciate a little humor - What do you think???  I think this is hilarious!

    Yes, I?ll marry you, my dear,
    And here?s the reason why;
    So I can push you out of bed
    When the baby starts to cry
    And I hear a knocking
    And it?s creepy and it?s late
    I hand you the torch you see
    And you investigate
    Yes I?ll marry you my dear
    And you may not apprehend it
    But when the tumble dryer goes
    It?s you that has to mend it
    You have to face the neighbour
    Should our roggie cat attack him
    And if a drunkard fondles me
    It?s you that has to whack him
    Yes I?ll marry you
    You?re virile and you?re lean
    Your house is like a pigsty
    I?ll help you keep it clean
    That sexy little dinner
    Which you served by candle night
    As I do the chappatis you can cook it every night
    It?s you who has to work the drill
    And put up curtain track
    And when I?ve got a migraine its you who gets the flack
    I do see great advantages
    But none of them for you
    And so before you see the light
    I do! I do! I do!

  • I think that is a cute idea for your friend to day. Should be funny to hear some of the stories that come out of it.

    Is there a movie that they love?  There are some good quotes and passages in The Notebook, When Harry Met Sally, or any other chick flight ever made. Maybe a wedding themed movie? It might add something different.

     Good luck! Let us know what you come up with!

  • You could tell a funny little story or give advice about being married starting with "DH and I have been married for so long now I thought I might share some of my wisdom with you...." or something along those lines and then start with something funny like I marred him to kill the spiders...but I had to use my own shoe or since we got married the sock fairy seems to leave socks on the floor...something silly?
  • I love it! Very cute!

  • Cute poem....I think it would be fun to hear some of the stories that come after/out of it.
