I always joke that I have 100 jobs (and I might be slightly exaggerating…it’s more like 98 or 99). In addition to being on the radio, I also officiate weddings.
Over the weekend, I heard quite possibly THE BEST wedding toast in my entire life (and I’ve heard a lot of them). Logan, the Best Man, said he saw different variations of the Wood Ships Poem online leading up to the wedding but adapted it to fit the day.
Logan started his speech talking about meeting his best friend (the groom) when they were 4 years old at a campground and being fast friends all way up to present day. They went to school together and Logan said he was so happy that Scott was able to marry Dayna. He ended his heartfelt Best Man Speech by asking everyone to raise their glasses in a toast to the newlyweds and said this:
“Some ships are wood ships and those ships may sink. But the Best Ships are Friend Ships and to those ship, we drink!”
Aww!! There was not a dry eye in the building.
Congrats to Dayna & Scott! And may all of you reading this have friendships like Scott and Logan (because they really are the best ships)!
