Most of what you have to do is just stand there next to me.

Traditionally, the best man also gives a speech at the reception about the person they're standing for, but I know speeches usually aren't your thing.

And, uh. Sometimes the bachelor party is the best man's thing. I'd really rather skip that part though.

[secondnature]

The speech part doesn't sound as bad as the party. I've given plenty of speeches about you.

[Weird out of context but also: true.]

What if we just go do something instead?

[igf]

Just don't tell any stories that are too embarrassing?

[ since keith probably has a few..... ]

That sounds much better than the strip club I know some people insist is tradition. Especially considering our luck.

[ the last thing they need is to end up with like. an unilu stripper. ]

[secondnature]

Why would I tell anyone an embarrassing story? It's a big day for you. I know how important Curtis is to you.

[Keith: if he's been to a wedding, he hasn't gotten the point. He probably just thought that the best man was being rude at ... whatever space wedding he's surely gone to by now.]

Anyway.

No strippers.

Just flying somewhere.

Or we can go back to the desert.

It's up to me, isn't it?

[igf]

Embarrassing stories are usually part of the speech.

It is.

I know you'll pick something good.

[secondnature]

I've never liked traditions. Why should I change that now?

Besides, maybe my delivery will be bad enough that it'll do the trick. For both of us.

[igf]

Just don't hit up the open bar too hard beforehand and you should be fine.

I think.

[secondnature]

I don't think it would help.

I usually just get all red faced and I fall asleep.

[igf]

Yeah, liquid courage doesn't really work if you're a sleepy drunk. Or an emotional drunk.

[secondnature]

I'll leave the spontaneous crying to everyone else.

It suits them better.

[igf]

There's something else you can do as my best man--hand me tissues during the ceremony when I get misty-eyed.

[secondnature]

I'll be sure to bring extras for Lance and Hunk, too.

[igf]

Probably a good idea.
