Godfather speech help!

[EddGee]

Hi folks,

Need a little bit of help and seeing as there are some knowledgable people here, I thought it a good place to ask.

Basically my wife and I have been asked to be godparents. The christening is next sunday.

We have been asked to be god parents before and its no hardship whatsoever and I was flattered to be asked again.

This time however the parents of the child have asked us to make a speech for the church.

I initially thought they were joking. But they are not.:rotz:

So, anyone know any good sites. Or at least give me a few pointers. I have never heard of godparents making a speech at a christening before.

Any advice would be appreciated. There is a virtual pint in it for you.

Ive never heard of a speech in the church before

If it is

i presume its just a bible reading like at a wedding or funeral

I think putting maltesers inside your cheeks is supposed to help - I saw that on an advert. If the speech is long I'd go for marbles though, because they'll last longer. Don't go for boss ones, or you'll look like you have some horrible tropical disease.

I've never heard of a christening speech, although I have heard the parents giving thank you speeches at the communal munch afterwards, but if that's what they want. Try this:

Yeah, insist on making the speech but do in the style of an ultra ****ed person! If you can manage to vomit into the font before the baby is christened, all the better. :-)
