About Me: Mr. Radish and I are both from upstate New York, so we are planning a wedding in Syracuse from about 700 miles away. When I’m not obsessing about our wedding I play the cello in my band (which Mr. Radish is in too), read as much as I can, sleep even more, travel whenever possible, and try to find time to have fun with my friends. I’m also working on finishing up my journalism degree with a concentration in environmental reporting and I’m the VP of my campus Amnesty International chapter… so I’m a pretty busy bee.
Part XV: The Best Man’s Toast
April 10th, 2008 @ 7:03 pm by Mrs. Radish
After sister Radish gave the maid of honor’s toast, it was our best man’s turn. He is Mr. Radish’s best friend and partner in crime. They met in undergrad and then they both moved out to Chicago for grad school (he went to the Art Institute of Chicago and Mr. R went to the University of Chicago). After Mr. Radish finished his program, I moved out here and the three of us got a 3-bedroom apartment together and became quite the dynamic trio. Good time, good times…
We all lived together for about 2 1/2 years until our roomie/best man decided to move to Europe for awhile (he has dual US/Polish citizenship). I can’t say I blame him but we were sad to see him go. The three of us had some awesome times together and he’s been such a good friend to us. We still miss him a lot, but he is back in the states now (in New York) at least, so we do see him more often.
Like sister Radish, he isn’t big on public speaking, but he did a great job and it meant a lot to us since he is practically family.
He’s a funny guy as you can see from all the laughter 
Aww… we love this dude!

What is the name/style of these suits or tuxedos? I can’t tell about the color - are they black or dark grey? We are having a day wedding and my bridesmaids’ dresses are a soft teal, and my fiance is not so crazy about wearing a black tux for a ceremony at noon outside under the August sun. (I love these.)
Aww…so cute. I love all of your pics!
okay I see now that the sun is not shining directly on my laptop screen that those suits/tuxes are definitely black, not grey. Still, I love them.
That must have been a great speech since he knew you both so well. Were there any embarrassing stories??
@Miss Peacock: it was really cute. he kept it pretty tame though, for the family’s sake 
That’s good 
I was just picturing the three of you sharing a bathroom and all the hilarity that might ensue… I bet it was really sweet.
What a cutie!!
