because I'll get really flirty.

How do you do? My name is Charles.

Don't be ridiculous.

Charles died 20 years ago.

Must be a different Charles.

You're saying I don't know

my own brother?

No, no.

Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to

drag you from your desserts.

There are one or two little things

I feel I should say as best man.

This is only the second time

I've ever been best man.

I hope I did the job okay

that time.

The couple in question are at least

still talking to me.

Unfortunately, they're not actually

talking to each other.

The divorce came through

a couple of months ago.

But I'm assured it had absolutely

nothing to do with me.

Apparently, Paula knew Pierce slept

with her sister...

...before I mentioned it

in the speech.

The fact that he slept with her

mother came as a surprise...

...but I think was incidental to

the nightmare of recrimination...

...and violence that became

their two-day marriage.

Anyway, enough of that. My job

today is to talk about Angus.

And there are no skeletons

in his cupboard...

...or so I thought.

I'll get to that in a minute.

I'd just like to say this:

I am as ever...

...in bewildered awe of anyone

who makes this kind of commitment...

...that Angus and Laura

have made today.

I know I couldn't do it...

...and I think it's wonderful

they can.

So back to Angus and those sheep.

So, ladies and gentlemen,

if you'd raise your glasses.

- The adorable couple.

- Yes!

The adorable couple!

The adorable couple!

Get one for me, Angus!

The first time I saw

Gareth on the dance floor...

...I feared lives would be lost.

She's a pretty girl.

The one you can't take your eyes off.

Love at first sight?

No, it's the bloke she's dancing with.

I played rugby with him at school.

I'm trying to remember what

position he played.

Though, let's say for

the sake of argument...

...one did take a fancy to someone

at a wedding.

Do you think there are people

who can just say:

"Hi, babe. My name's Charles.

This is your lucky night"?

If there are, they're not English.

Quite.

Three weeks is about

my question-popping minimum.

You know I love you,

Jean, don't you?

I love you.

I love you.

And Mike, I've never met you before...

...but I love you very much.

I really do.

Ignore her, she's drunk.

At least I hope she is.

Otherwise, I'm in real trouble.

How's it going, Lyds?

Bloody awful.

Oh, dear. What's the problem?

I was promised sex.

Everybody said it:

"You'll be a bridesmaid, you'll get

sex. You'll be fighting them off."

But not so much as a tongue in sight.

Well, I mean, if you fancy...

...anything.

I could always...

Oh, don't be ridiculous, Bernard.

- I'm not that desperate.
