If All Else Fails

Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have your attention please?
Because every now and then in life,
there’s opportunity you should seize.

And that moment is surely now upon us,
after all, it’s not every day Niall gets wed,
and I’ve got some thoughts on my mind, yes,
there are some heartfelt words that need to be said….

Firstly, I’d like to begin by being a little controversial,
in other words, Niall, you are just one lucky sod!
Because you have married a gem in Emma,
and look at you two, as happy as peas in a pod.

Actually, you two are something out of a fairy tale,
Cinderella? Well, the pumpkin keeps the halloween theme,
and well, you two certainly look happy ever after, so,
go on, enjoy yourselves, go on, live your dream!

As Niall has engineered a mighty fine speech therapist,
and Emma is also a good netball player and coach as well,
and Niall is probably going to be the last in our family to be wed,
so, I’m doing my best to make this interesting (I hope you can tell).

Actually, I think I’m doing better than Niall did for me three years ago,
actually, that’s a lie, on that day and in my life, he’s been my best man,
and Niall, seriously, I just wanted to thank you for being you, yes,
loving you like a brother has really been part of my lifetime’s plan.

Mind you, Mum and Dad have done a fine job with you,
and I know they worship the ground Emma walks upon,
I also think they’re happy, contented and somewhat relieved,
yes, thank God, their little baby boy has finally gone!

Actually, they’ve always been quite protective over Niall,
and he’s close to them too, so he tries to keep us other four away,
but we know he was a house angel but truly, a street devil,
and so that one line, leaves so very much to say….

Because Emma, he’s not very fond of housework, at all, and once,
he didn’t wash his football kit until there was stinking blue mould,
and even though he passed his 11 plus, and he walked the tightrope of life,
still, you’ll have plenty of stories to tell, when you’re grey and old.

You were a typical teenager, with your gel and phone bills
but all is now forgiven, because our love knows no bounds,
and you were also a good GAA footballer, a true team player,
a joker in the pack who could also run with the hounds.

Talking of old dogs, you’ve a few good friends here today,
I’m simply amazed how they have stood by you, for this long,
but mind, you’ve spent many a year gallivanting around the world,
and you’d never let the truth get in the way of a good story…Niall, what’s wrong?

Look, you know you’re a gossip who loves a good yarn,
you always know the dirt on everyone, sometimes it’s a lot,
but to be honest, Niall, you’re the sort of fellow, well, the
sort that the measure you gave is the measure you got!!.

But you’ve always said your prayers every night, even
on some occasions, that must have been one drunken slur,
and your time keeping is chronically, desperately bad,
at times, it seems that you live your life in a bubbly blur.

So, thank goodness that you met Emma,
because it’s obvious you’re each other’s soul-mate,
so, tonight, you’d better get married life off with a bang,
now little brother, set your watch, now, try and don’t be late!

And tonight you’ll have to not watch Coronation Street,
and you’ll even have to wait for your Good Honest Tea,
because as we all know, Emma doesn’t like either,
opposites attract? I guess some things are, meant to be.

Just think, if your football hadn’t been cancelled,
or if Emma hadn’t attended that Cornerstone leaving do,
what if you’d washed Emma off your drunken hand? Emma,
that is, Emma is gorgeous, Emma’ Was that you?

Mind you, the Miami flashing ring was all class,
shame you never got to have dinner on your own,
never mind, a Dublin proposal is as good as any and
Hamster, Nettser, Ginster all love you (everybody groan).

But we all wanted to say Niall, Emma, we love you,
truth, we’ve never really said just how wonderful you are,
just know that if our love for you were a distance,
well, it would reach way beyond the furthest star.

And Emma, I know your parents would be proud of you today,
you were a fine daughter, more than anyone could ever ask,
and they’d be proud of how you’ve got on with your life, as
my friend used to say, you’re the best invention (well, since the thermos flask).

And finally, thoughts must turn to this starry, starry night,
as we’ve all heard the rumour of the garter on that shapely leg,
so Niall, tonight, try a bit of romance, be subtle, and
if all else fails, well, you still have give us great memories of your wedding on the magical Lusty Beg!

Marius kindly replied:

“Hello, Allen

Words can’t describe what this means to me. I can truly say that I am overwhelmed by the result of all my random thoughts. This is something that I have never seen done at a local wedding, so it is great to have it as a surprise angle.

I am tempted to leave it as it is, but refer to my comments in red to see what your thoughts are?
I look forward to your next masterpiece.

Kind Regards
Marius”
