Assalamo Alaikum (Peace be unto you)!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’d like to say, what a genuine honour it is to be Imran’s best man. I appreciate that I am one of many equally suitable friends Imran could have chosen, but I know he looks upon me as an older brother he never had, and I look upon him as a younger brother I never wanted!
So here I am, stood up here with a great opportunity to reveal all. But after speaking to my solicitor, he tells me, we can still be prosecuted. So I won’t divulge too much into the past.

I first met Imran many years ago in a school in Pakistan. He was the perfect student. He was head boy and always gained top marks in every subject even though I tried my utmost best to corrupt him. Imran is a very close and dear friend of mine. Our friendship has remained strong over the years and we always looked out for each other. It makes me happy to see how successful Imran has become. All his hard work …. and my backhanders have paid off.

Without a doubt, Imran’s greatest achievement is – marrying Jane, who looks absolutely stunning today. You’ve done extremely well Imran. You have found someone who is beautiful, charming and intelligent. I wish I could say the same for you Jane!

I would like to thank Imran and Jane for giving me an opportunity to be involved in their unique and special day. I wish them well for the future and hope they have a long and happy marriage.

Thank you.
