The Romantics Page #3

about what a truly kind

and generous man Tom really is.

Many of you may not know this,

but I was only point two seconds

behind Tom McDevon

in the breast stroke,

our personal favorite stroke.

''Athletic and smart,

kind and charming,

Tom McDevon was

one disarming... dude.''

So I was like, ''Jake, where's Tom?''

He's like, ''I don't know.''

And I was like, ''Pete, where's Tom?''

He's like, ''I don't know.''

And we were just like...

But nobody knew where he was.

And I still maintain that

he put rufies in my Gatorade...

...and touched me

inappropriately under the water.

That was me.

- That was you?

- Such a good story.

I love that one, so...

But, OK, so one more...

Here's to that lucky lady,

here's to Tom.

I love you both, and...

''And should that egg meet

a sperm and turn into a baby,

count on me as a sitter.

I will always say, 'maybe'.''

Cheers.

Lila...

...is...

...graced with beauty and...

...intelligence and...

...determination.

Lila and I were roommates in college.

I was from the Midwest,

she was from the East Coast.

My first memory is...

...we were both on Old Campus

in line for our college lDs

and freshmen...

And all of a sudden,

this stranger comes up to me and says:

''You know we're gonna have these lDs

for the rest of the year, right?''

And, I said, ''Yes.'' And she goes,

''Well, didn't you bring your makeup?''

So, when she painted me up

with Lancome's best, I...

I knew we were gonna be...

...good friends.

And, yet, it was touch and go at first,

but we realized that our differences

made us stronger, you know? We...

We got the nickname ''La-la''

because we loved each other.

And we loved our friends.

Our friends got the nickname,

''The Romantics.''

Because of our

incestuous dating history.

We were just...

...in love with each other.

Because that's what friends do.

They...

...they fall in love with each other.

And...

...then they fall out of love and...

...they fall back in love and

this happens over and over again

for the rest of their lives.

The fact that Tom and Laura...

The fact that...

Tom and Lila found each other is...

...exceptional because they're both...

...exceptional people.

And I wish them all

of the joy in the world.

To their glittering future.

Hear, hear. Glittering future.

Did I seem nervous?

No.

No.

- You were great.

- You were really... great.

Wait! Lila!

You didn't think you could

escape that easy, did ya?

Come on, Lila,

just stay for one more drink.

No, I need hours,

maybe days of silence.

Boring.

But, I'll see you guys

at midnight, right?

Remember?

You guys said

you'd come tuck me in?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
