Help with speech intro/icebreaker - Meath guests at louth wedding

bigdogbarking

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 !

At least the bride has up graded ,her last boyfriend was a blind Tyrone man ,loved wearing black ,involved in the GAA somehow......... wonder what happen him.

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'
