Client: Daniel, best man at his brother's wedding. Task: a warm, funny speech of about 3 minutes, without embarrassing stories.

Good evening, everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm Daniel, Tom's younger brother, and for twenty-six years his main source of problems.

When we were kids, Tom made me a deal: he would teach me to ride a bike if I did his chores for a month. I learned in two days. I did the chores for a month. That's when I realized my brother would make a great teacher.

And he did. But the best lesson he ever taught me was the day he called me and said, "I met someone who laughs at my jokes." I said, "Tom, that's not possible." Then I met Anna. And she really does.

Anna, you are patient, kind and organized, which is perfect, because Tom has been looking for his keys since 2009. Thank you for making my brother so happy that he now sings in the car. Loudly. Badly.

Tom and Anna, you both spend your days helping other people's children grow. I hope you never stop learning from each other.

Please raise your glasses: to Tom and Anna!

Timing: about 2 min 50 s at a calm pace. Note: pause after the bike story and the keys line, these get the laughs.
