A Fucked-Up Wedding Toast - 1
a Drabble to promote my unofficial challenge
Good evening, everyone. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Alex, Sam’s best friend and long-time witness to this budding relationship. And by long-time, I mean really long time.
I’ve watched them date, break up, get back together, date other people, swear they were done forever and would be “just friends,” and then somehow end up back on the same couch arguing about movie choices and pizza toppings.
So when Sam told me they were finally getting married, my first reaction wasn’t surprise.
It was relief.
Because after fifteen years of this emotional roller-coaster…
It’s about fucking time!

Mark Twain: The Man Who Lived, Laughed, and Witnessed America’s Transformations
Have you ever wondered what it was like to grow up along the Mississippi River during a time when America was transforming faster than anyone could imagine? Meet Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain—a boy from a small Missouri town who rose from modest beginnings to become one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever known. Twain didn’t just write stories; he captured the soul of a nation, observing both its humor and its heartbreak with a sharp, unforgettable voice.

The best toast, from a best friend. Excellent, Lana.
Loved your example and something’s already cooking in the ole noggin, lol. Great idea for a challenge. Thank you for hosting.
haha this is harsh! but the voice feels authentic-- I could believe someone with two many drinks and too much frustration giving this speech. Excellent drabble :) I saved your challenge announcement, hoping to write one up if I can come up with something I like.
