HELP! Best Man's wedding toast speech [mandarin]
wuansen
October 24, 2008, 09:03 AM posted in General DiscussionAdmittedly late, since my best friend is getting married tomorrow and I need to deliver the speech then. Does anyone have any ideas as to if there is anything traditional one should say? It is a mixed marriage (Foreigner-Chinese) and I've prepared the English side of things, but Chinese? The closing I think I have down.

October 24, 2008, 09:06 AMwow sorry about that... obviously microsoft word decided to keep a lot of garbage when I posted. Wasn't there as I posted. Can't seem to find a way to edit it...
