I'd avoid trying to be too funny -- a brief and bland witticism along the lines of "if you had told his law school classmates that a chick like Muffy would even give Skip the time of day, much less agree to spend the rest of her life with him, they would have laughed you out of the room" is about as far as you should go in terms of humor.
Don't be too maudlin (a danger for me while I am drunk), but throw something romantic and sweet in there -- maybe something like "I see Skip and Muffy together, and I know how happy they are to have found each other. And, knowing them, I know how happy they both are to have us here to see them officially become a couple, and to celebrate their vows with them."
No hints (much less actual comments) about the hot sex they had in the limo/will have in the coat room in 5 minutes/joining the Mile High Club/etc.
And keep it short. |
