Wedding Reception Toast
Published Oct 17, 2005
Our nephew was getting married to a doctor's daughter. At the wedding reception, the father of the bride stood to read his toast, which he had scribbled on a piece of scrap paper.
Several times during his speech, he halted, overcome with what I assumed was a moment of deep emotion.
But after a particularly long pause, he explained,
"I'm really sorry, folks. I can't seem to make out what I've written down."
Looking out into the audience, he asked . . .
. . . "Is there a pharmacist in the house?"
