so my best friend jill (i've known her for 16 years!!) is getting married two weeks from today; i'm her maid of honor and monkeygirl is her flowergirl, and i know it's going to be a great day. i am totally freaked out, though, because i know i'm expected to give a toast in front of all 150 people during dinner. i'm sweating a little right now even thinking about it.... what if i lose it and just start sputtering in front of everyone?? what if i'm trying really hard to be funny and nobody even cracks a smile? i definitely want to write something great, but i might need to borrow one of monkeygirl's diapers when the moment comes.
public speaking is NOT for me; does anyone have any advice? (*besides picturing everyone in their underwear; that only worked on the brady bunch).
