Best Man, Brother of the Groom
Hello! I’m standing up here tonight,
pretty boastful I have to admit, of my brother, Jackson,
and his bride Macy. I have come to sing their praises,
and if I happen to embarrass either one of them in the
process, I apologize right now!
On behalf of our family, we want to
welcome each of you to the wedding today. It is a true
testament to Jackson and Macy that you have taken time
from your busy schedule to come and witness their
marriage. I have never seen a more beautiful bride than
Macy, and my brother looks just plain button busting
proud, doesn’t he?
Jackson and Macy do not come lightly into
this marriage. They have each led successful lives up
to this point, and each is a wonderful individual
alone. However, as wonderful and unique each of them
is, together they make the perfect couple! Jackson, a
man of patience, has become even more patient since
seeing Macy. He also has a warmer heart, a wonderful
glow of love about him, and family has taken on a new
meaning for him. We have always been brothers, but we
are now friends. He has a stronger tie to the family
now, and it’s a wonderful transformation to watch him
take on the role of husband and start a new household.
I know that if he models our parents, Chris and Jennie,
then he will be a wonderful mate for this woman he loves
so much.
Macy is a terrific woman. She lights up
with love when she sees my brother and her traits read
like a list of “who’s who?” She is compassionate,
filled with laughter, grounded and happy. She is
honest, trustful, faithful, sweet, kind, warm hearted
and intelligent. So, Macy, when you have the first
child, remember, the spelling of his name should be
N-A-T-H-A-N! No, I’m just kidding. I’m saying all
these wonderful things about you because you are truly a
wonderful person and we welcome you into our family with
open arms!
I always admired the tenacity that these
two had while they were dating! While he was in medical
school, Jackson would travel by train two hours to New
York City to meet and date Macy! Macy also, for over a
year, would travel a long distance just to be with
Jackson. I wonder how they’ll fill their free time
since they won’t be traveling any more? Oh, yeah,
they’re newlyweds. They’ll find “something” to do!
I feel blessed to be Jackson’s younger
brother. He has been a friend, mentor and role model
for me. I am so happy that he has found this woman
filled with perfection to spend the rest of his life
with. Together, they should see many years of success,
both personally and professionally, and they should
enjoy immense happiness, just by being together!
I don’t have much advice for the
newlyweds, because I really have no experience to speak
from. But, if I had any advise, it might just be to
Jackson. That would be to keep the seat down, never
fight before you go to bed, and to always say “yes
dear”, except if Macy happens to ask “does this make me
look fat?”.
Everyone, I’d like you to raise your
glass and toast my brother Jackson and his new bride,
Macy.
May the future hold your happiness,
May the future hold your health.
May your heart hold your love,
And may your arms hold your babies, yet
to come.
Here’s to your
future happiness together!
