Greg's embarrassing best man speech at a million dollar wedding

Picture this: a million-dollar wedding. Crystal chandeliers refract light like tiny suns. Gold-rimmed champagne flutes glint in the glow of candlelight. The kind of wedding where the appetizers cost more than Greg’s entire rent for a year. And there he is — Greg, best man, armed with trembling hands and notes he could barely afford to print.

He wanted to give a moving speech, something heartfelt, memorable. Instead… disaster.

One rogue candle, sitting innocently on a table, found Greg’s notes irresistible. Sparks flew. Flames licked the edges of his meticulously scribbled wisdom. Did Greg notice? Of course not. He plowed through like a man possessed, reciting his “bullet points” as his words literally went up in smoke. Guests gasped, waiters panicked, and somewhere a sommelier wept.

By the time the fire died down, Greg’s speech was a charred, incoherent mess — the only lasting impression he made was “human torch meets public speaking.” And the irony? He just destroyed his one chance to impress at a wedding that was entirely out of his financial league.

Moral of the story: some people shouldn’t speak in public. Some people shouldn’t even exist near candles. And some people, like Greg, shouldn’t ever be allowed at a million-dollar wedding.
