Shes my best friend(YUCK!)

Pighead

Pighead was at a wedding last week and all was going well until the groom stood up to make his speech. "I'd like to thank my family blah blah blah etc etc.....but most of all I'd like to thank this beautiful lady beside me today who not only is my wife but my best friend also"

Pighead almost choked upon his glass of Montrachet 1978 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti wine when he heard that bit. Best friend? You've oinly known the girl for 3 years ya big eejit. And what a kick in the balls to your best man who had just finished his speech waxing lyrical about how they'd always been best friends down through the years.

It was like the groom was saying "Yeah thinks buddy for sticking by me through thick and thin over the past 27 years but I've got a chick now so I've demoted you to role of Assistant Best Friend. What a load of poppycock. Even if he had of called his wife his best fcukfriend things wouldn't have been so bad but for Pighead what the groom said was tantamount to treachery.

If you meant something else, then i didn't read closely enough or i just don't get it.

Or alternatively RE*AC*TOR was just being a spanner. Thats the option Pighead went for.

which is more upsetting for you?

the fact that he considers his wife his best friend and he never told you?

Why would he tell Pighead? Pighead didn't know the chap from Adam.

or that you dont have the same thing with your missus?

Pighead and Miss Piggy have a wonderful and strong bond and sometimes I even let her come to the pub with the lads to watch the football. She's a great girl but the best friend title doesn't get ditched willy nilly round our way. It takes years and years to earn the title.

WhiteWashMan wrote: »

and why do you think your ex best friend feels any less of you now than before?

Eh he doesn't. Pighead has a sneaking suspicion that WWM has rushed into the thread half arsed, armed with one or two words from the opening paragraph resulting in confusion and wrongness.

Maybe Pighead does WWM, maybe he does.

That's the second time the phrase "spanner" has been used in recent times. What a delightful coincidence. Someone once wrote that there are no coincidences. I wonder what that would mean in this case.

Either way, in order to cut to the chase. I don't know if Pighead is a virgin, nor do I care. I certainly didn't mean to offend him, perhaps it was a bad choice of word. What I was getting at, perhaps in a very roundabout way, was that Pighead's reasoning in his original post seemed to lack any real understanding of male-female relationships. Having been both a best-man and a groom in the last two years, I know that I wouldn't take offense, nor would I expect my best man to take offense to that type of comment. The groom in question may have meant it literally, or more broadly. Either way, its his wedding day, the purpose of his speech is (primarily) to compliment his new bride.

Much better. Pighead knew you could do it. Who needs those silly ellipsis?
So is your wife your new best friend RE*AC*TOR?

I would tell you, except it appears my posts are disappearing rapidly.

*EDIT* and now its back - how bizarre! What a totally benign glitch!

I didn't use that phrase in my speech, nor did my friend to whom I was best man. The point is that there should not be a problem with saying it, unless you are a bit insecure in your friendship.

Not just yours! I think maybe you're taking Pighead's thread a little too seriously? It's just a joke man!

question: if your partner is your best friend who do you talk to when they inevitably do the dirt on ya ?

Surely you agree my first reply to this jovial thread hardly crossed the bridge into the realm of gravity? Nor did I cross that bridge alone.

Exactly. You go sniffing back to your Ex Best Friend who immediately becomes your New Best Friend again, IF he can forgive you for the original rejection and find it in his heart to bring you back.

That was pretty damn funny.

Anyway, I can't imagine a significant other of mine also getting the title of 'best friend'. Maybe that's why I'm single? Or maybe it's the back hair.
If I were to hear something like that said in a wedding speech, it would have me reaching straight for a bucket. But then, much of what gets said at such occassions has that effect.

RE*AC*TOR's wife is my best friend.

possibly. quite very possibly.

or pighead just doesnt understand the nature of the questions?

either way, best friend is not a term i ever use, since i am actually over 12 yeas of age.

wwman has many friends, but the one he loves spending most of his time with is his wife

sorry pighead.

doonothing

between the ages of 12 and now you havent used the term best friend?! what?

many friends couldn't really make up for the twinship i have with my bessie! i nearly went into a rant of how close we are, but everyone knows the cliched description of best friendship, and that is somethign i definitely could not do without! maybe ill change my choon if i marry, but i dont see that happening...

sorry pighead.

Don't see anything wrong in using the term "best friend". Don't really see it as a childish phrase, but then again Pighead calls his Mother Mumsy and when he goes to sleep he wears ear muffs so the bed monsters can't get into his ears and eat his brain, so perhaps it may be so.

Who was your closest friend before you met your wife? Is he/she now your second closest friend? Will they be elevated to closest if you and your good lady should ever part ways? So many questions, so little time.

Pighead shall stay awake til 4 am awaiting the answers he seeks.

As Pighead's internet girlfriend, I'd just like to say that I'm also appalled at this partner/best friend lark. Pighead and I wouldn't be able to have hot, angry virtual sex if we we're friends at all. Better this way.

My "friends" know who they are.
They don't need me to tell them.

RE*AC*TOR

Ooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

Ooh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me, girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh ya
Oh you're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
You you're my best friend.

Burning Eclipse

I love Queen.

Also, for the record, yes, she is my "best" friend. Been friends with her for 6 years, going out with each other for the last 4.:)
