    Hi all, i'm due to deliver a speech at the weekend at a wedding recpetion.
    The brides family are from meath and the wedding is in louth.the grooms family are from down but a majority of guests are from louth.
    Obviously i'd like to stick the boot in a little without offending anyone (too much ;) )

    I was thinking along the lines of : [FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Good afternoon ladies and Gentlemen,Can everyone hear me ? I'd like to welcome you all, especially those of you from meath, to the home of the TRUE leinster gaa champions!!![/FONT]


    [FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Anyone got any other subtle, clean-ish jokes to go along with it?[/FONT]

    maybe pretend that the match referee who has been given the freedom of meath is in attendance at the wedding and ask the louth people to give him a kind warm welcome !

    I'm glad there was no 'does anyone here present know why this pair should not be wed' bit in the ceremony. The Meath contingent would have had to go off into a room for 3 days to come up with a decision!

    Turn to priest 'did you make sure to check on the communion chalice after the ceremony, these Meath boys might have made off with it'
