•Unlike everyone else who is either an engineer or a solicitor, I’m a teacher and I also happen to be deaf – I’ll start this in the same way I do when I first meet a new class. Louder, Quieter Practice
• I won’t be able to hear if you laugh at my lame jokes – use some visual clues to help things move along.

• I’d like to start with a few words of thanks. On behalf of the bridesmaids and myself, I’d like to thank Dan and Debs for asking us to be involved in their special day. I know they’ve both put a huge amount of effort in to the planning this wedding, and I can only hope that, apart from this speech, everything else will be perfect for them.

• I must agree with Dan what a great job the Bridesmaids did – you all look fabulous.
• I would also like to thank the Ushers for top quality ushing – Being an usher is a hard job, not to be underestimated. Telling people roughly where to sit in a church or venue is a real challenge.

•Nobody ever seems to pay the Groom a compliment – I think you’ll all agree Dan is looking very dapper –although I think the lilac suit would have perhaps been more striking.

• I’ve met lots of Dan’s friends over the years, many of them are here today.
• I got to know most of you on Dan’s stag do, in Wales. I’d also like to thank them for carrying me up and down a mountain - well I say a MOUNTAIN, it was more a hill really. So I know how lucky he is to have such a great bunch of friends.
•However,… I CLEARLY am the… 23

•Dan grew up just down the road from me right over on the other side of the country – near France.
•As you know, Dan loves to travel and has been all over the world.
•One of his earliest travels was a family holiday to Spain when he was about three

• After a day spent happily playing on the beach. Dave and Sheila started to pack up and realised they couldn’t find Dan’s shoes anywhere.
• Sheila asks, ‘Dan where are your shoes?’
• ‘In the SAANNDD’
• It took a lot of detective work and a number of flights to Spain but…we’ve found your shoes.

31
• Dan loves climbing, a bug he picked up at a very early age. Dan’s parents’ house is in a road called Conifer Drive – and that’s just what it is – a drive through some very tall conifers. Much to his mum’s dismay, Dan used to love climbing in the masses of giant conifers in the garden.
• He would call out ‘muum’, ‘muum’, but she’d have no idea which tree he was in.
• ‘I’ve got no idea where you are but come down right now.’

33
• I get the impression that Dave was a bit of a hippie to be honest.
• He’s got a number of 60’s looking ‘ladies’ around the house and a really great record collection. I think this all rubbed off on Dan who became a long-haired guitarist in his teens. Dan and his mates started playing in Trashcan.
• They used to practice in our lounge or bedroom on a Sunday, with strict instructions to keep the windows closed so as not to annoy the neighbours!

34
• It was around this time that I first got to know Dan. I’ll always remember the first time I went to his house.
•They’ve got this great sunken lounge, a big open fire – and huge patio doors – it’s like something out of a James Bond film.

•Dan left university and went to work for Renishaw. I’m not an engineer, unlike pretty much everyone else here, so excuse me if I explain this in layman’s terms. When he wasn’t sleeping in a toilet cubicle he helped make some kind of pokey thing with pink bits at the end. 45
