Competition

No. 1373: Best woman Set by Jaspistos: The best man's speech at a wedding on behalf of the groom is tradi- tionally fruity and facetious and notorious- ly fraught with pitfalls. Why shouldn't a `best woman' speak too, on behalf of the bride? An extract, please, from such a speech (maximum 150 words). Entries to `Competition No. 1373' by 7 June.
