Hunters Best Man Speech
Hunters Best Man Speech
Before I continue I would like to say thank you Hunter for giving me the honor of being
your best man, it truly means the world to me. If you asked me 8 years ago that I would
be here giving a speech at your wedding, I would be shocked that you made it this far in
life without losing an eye or a limb.
On behalf of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, I would like to thank Hunter and Gracie
for including us on their very special day. What a fantastic day it has been so far and so
much of Gracie’s hard work and preparation has gone into it. Hunter, you were just
there.
[INCLUDE MISHAPS OF THE DAY, IF ANY] (But for me) Today has gone incredibly
well, I have yet to stain my shirt by tripping on grass, so that’s a plus.
Then to Today
As soon as Gracie started dating Hunter, I had been demoted to the official third wheel
for both of them. This meant that I was now relegated to the back seat of car rides.
However this did not change the fun that we had together.
Over the course of their relationship we went on many fun escapades: Sonic Runs with
the Youth on Wednesday nights, watching Marvel movies, Shopping at Ross and Zona
Rosa, and many others.
Many times I would be dragged along for Hunter and Gracie’s adventures, and often
Gracie was dragged along for Hunter and I’s adventures.
Connection to Christ
If I have learned something throughout my time being with Hunter and Gracie, it is that
their commitment to one another has given me a picture of Christ’s love for His church.
Ending Encouragement
Hunter, where you may lack in height you more than make for in zeal for the Scriptures.
Your dedication to the Word of God has no doubt challenged me to grow deeper in my
faith with the Lord. I pray that you make them your family's light in the darkness when
times of hardship arrive.
Also Hunter, do not provoke Gracie to anger (as I know from personal experience you
have for me). I implore you to remember the words of Solomon in Proverbs 21:9: “Better
to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.”
And Gracie, please do your best to keep him alive(preferably with all his limbs intact).
Make sure that he looks both ways before crossing the road. Make sure that he wears
his seatbelt (and that he doesn’t open another knife in the car ever again).
With how much Gracie and Hunter’s relationship has shaped me over the years I often
ask myself where I would be without these two, “I guess we’ll never know…”
Lets raise our glasses and toast to the new Mr. & Mrs. Carcione!
