The speech
My best friend from Napoleon is getting married in August, which I know is a long ways away, but I'm the maid of honor. I have duties to fulfill (I'm not real sure what they all are), but I know that one of them is giving a speech at the reception. One in which every single person in that room will be listening to. Nerve racking? Yes. I have to make it good. I keep thinking about it and I have NOTHING. We have been best friends for 11 years, how is it that I have nothing to say. I'm not even sure where I want to start. Funny, serious, story, quote? I don't know. Lori and I don't have a typical friendship. Although we have been friends for so long and been through so much together we are rarely the serious type. We have hugged five times and serious conversations don't last long. We get each other through things in life with humor. We don't dig if someone wants to share they will and we go with the theory that some things are better left untold. It works. I just don't know what to say to her. I'm sure it'll come, but ideas are welcome.

Well.. when I was maid of honor I got out of this tough subject.. BUT in case I didn't get out of it, I was ready and prepared for things to say.. so here's some advice.. funny memorable things that will get the crowd laughing.. and lori really laughing.. because serious things are good to.. but throw in some fun and it will lighten the mood.. and if anything else remind her about the bus accident she saw.. it'll be fun.. haha
