So here's a question for ya: should I make a speech/toast at Carey's wedding? Am I expected to?

I'm pretty sure Corey will since he's the best man...it's a very small wedding party....shit.

Ideas anyone?

I forget...what's your position in the wedding party?

[camilee]

I'm the groom's sister (and the bride is now one of my best friends), but IN the wedding, I'm the photographer...

I would think of some words to say if you're asked, but I wouldn't expect that you'll be asked.

Yeah I have a pretty rough idea what I would say, but I'll just wait and see. They'll probably be more focused on me taking PICTURES of the people giving toasts. Thanks, Dave!

there probably need to be 2-3 toasts. you can ask who will be toasting (best man and father of the bride normally do one, the rest is whoever they've asked)

if you feel like preparing one in case the toasts run short, that's always a nice backup to have, but otherwise they should ask if they want you to give one.

Ahhh okay, thanks! So toasts are usually given when they ASK for it? I'm so new at this. And I watch too many movies where people just dramatically stand up unannounced. lol

Haha.. Awww Sis!

That's so cute! I would give anything to see your mom at Carey's wedding! Do you think she'll be able to keep it together? lol Will you be coming up for Xmas? If so, bring tons of pics!!!! Yeah, toasts are usually given when asked... It's usually all pre planned.. But it would definitely be helpful to have one ready just in case... I was a bridesmaid in Kristi's wedding and I got put on the spot... So DONT DO THAT! haha Luckily Somehow I managed to sound pretty elegant.. But that could have been a disaster considering I had a few glasses of champagne downed! haha

Bwahaha, I would've loved to have seen that! But that's definitely my fear- being put on the spot when I have nothing prepared. I'll have something up my sleeve....and YES, you'll definitely be seeing the pictures! I can bring them up next time I'm there or just email you a link to the kodakgallery gallery (gallery gallery?) that I'll upload for peeps. Yay! Can you believe I'll be an auntie?!
