Should I ever have the honour of becoming married there will be no '1st dance'.
There will be no 'second' or any other 'dance' either.

I will not sumbit to such a degrading ordeal.

Wedding - no music at all, and none of my friends attending. My sister's had none and it was pure class and lovely.
Wholly separate party for friends - good music provided by me.

I understand that this is not for everyone (particularly not the 'music provided by me' bit).

Don't be daft, the wedding's not about what you want.
Your best hope is to find a woman whose wedding plans mirror what you want and then marrying her. Because if they don't, you *will* submit.

this is sadly the truth
I've had it pretty easy really, but just occasionally there has been a hint of crazy woman coming through.

You're lucky enough to get a woman
whose wishes mirror your own pretty closely.

indeed
I just need to find some way of incorporating this stuff into my speech

I'm pretty good at writing stuff like that and if I knew you personally, I'd offer to do so.
However, I don't. So I won't.

thanks
I have some content for it, I just need to decide how to actually write it, and how much to write, or whether to give myself headings and wing it. Which is what I normally do.

What I tend to do is write a full speech, but keep it fairly rough
and fill it out on the fly. That way you have a reference of what you mostly intend to say and it still comes off as of the moment.

Nothing ruins a speech more than reading it straight off the page.

that's pretty much what I intend
I'm hoping that a pressing deadline will make me write it quicker slightly nearer the time.

Then I shall accompany you to the pub
after it all gets called off.

Absolutely fine.

Booze is the best part of a wedding.
I've been engaged once, but managed to tunnel out of it, tf
