Good evening, everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm [Name], and I've known [Groom] since we were eleven — which means I have enough material for a three-hour speech. Luckily for all of you, his new wife has asked me to keep it to four minutes.
The thing about [Groom] is that he never does anything halfway. Ask anyone who's seen him assemble flat-pack furniture. But the first time I saw him truly patient — I mean really patient — was the night he met [Partner].
Why it works
- The joke is about the speaker's length, not an embarrassing secret.
- The story pivots naturally to the partner.
