I totally forgot to comment on the speeches at the wedding. For the most part, they were ... not about the couple.

Every time the emcee spoke, he talked about himself. He did a nice little speech about pants and who wears them in the family, but he used himself to start off his speech. And he included himself at the end of his speech.

Two girlfriends did their speech together. Actually that one was really nice. They read their speech though, which I felt took away from what they were saying. 

And then another girlfriend did a speech. Most of it was about her and her story of how she was going to do her speech. This was the gist of it:

"My boyfriend is a great speech writer, so I asked him for advice. He said not to be sappy and to be funny. Then he told me that I was sappy and not funny. So I'm not going to do a speech." Then she gave a short toast and that was it.

The groom's parents didn't speak, but the bride's father spoke. He mentioned that it was his son's 5th wedding anniversary and that his son and daughter-in-law gave them a wonderful granddaughter. Then he mentioned that the groom came around a lot when he and the bride first met, and that the two of them both got careers separately. And then he welcomed the groom to the family. Um....where was the mention about the bride from her father?

Okay, that's all the cattiness I have left!
