(BF in this instance meaning best friend, not boyfriend - that would be just TOO weird).
Anyhow - I want to make it funny, but not too rude or revealing because of the oldies & rellies present. So I have ruled out mentioning that I sha55ed the groom before the bride did (it's ok - the bride is aware of that fact) , but will it be alright to mention my BF's bladder problems since childhood and other embarrassing moments that perhaps the groom's side are unaware of?

I wouldnt have thought so. There are good books on how to write speaches, get one of those.

A good start Zac, a good start.....
I especially like the Tena Lady sponsorship reference.

As for the cast-off reference - someone i the rugby world last week referred to it as "I don't mind him (her) having my slops..... do you think that would go down well at a wedding feast?!!

PorcelainGod

off course it will, belittle him all you can.

PorcelainGod

mention his small wiener and reference the egg timer joke too.

PG - I was joking about the being-there-first bit - of course I wouldn't bring that up....
I don't want to belittle anyone - I just want to make a funny speech because my friend is known as being a very funny lady but I don't want to go too far, as is my wont.

Zac my man, you are giving me some great ideas....

She had an early menopause though, and he's had a vasectomy - so perhaps that may not go down too well ?!

Morning salla.
I agree with 4getmenot......taking the p1ss out of the groom (sorry about the pun) is not a good idea. I cannot think of a funny joke at the moment, but will put my mind to it. In the meantime I would describe, as best you can, events in the early life of rhe bridegroom e.g school, holidays...but give boyfriends a miss. Remember it is your friends day and not the "sallabananas show". Salla, am I the only person you haven't sh@gged? LOL LOL

Oh dear. First of all - the bit about mentioning previous shennanigans was only a joke, and I would not dream of mentioning it; esp at their wedding. (Neither will I mention any of her former loves such as the Portugese toyboy, or the Greek-Cypriot Conman). I thought peeps would know I was only jesting on that score.

Secondly sqad - I have not actually "had the pleasure" of that many. I can count them on both hands & still have digits left, so maybe that's a wrong impression I've given here?

salla...so, so sorry...unforgivable of me, I didn't mean it to sound that I was discrediting you.

You have missed nothing with me my love, as I am a foreplay man.......can't abide all the shrieking, shouting and all that "pummelling" stuff.

He's a "foreplay man".
There is nothing wrong whatsoever in that.
