Today marks the beginning of a momentous week in my best friend's life, and therefore in mine.
Danny Schoenfeld, my friend and my other brother, is getting married to the lovely and unstoppable Deidre Hughes. I am so proud of them both, and it is an honor to be Danny's best man.
This week will include the rehearsal on Wednesday, the wedding and reception on Thursday, and a celebratory open house on Friday. And then Danny and Deidre are off to British Columbia for their honeymoon.
Danny has asked me to be the MC at his wedding - "like Jon Stewart at the Oscars" he said - but I hope I can do a better job at the wedding than Jon did at the Oscars. But Danny has always been there when I've needed him, so it's the least I can do to stand up and talk through his wedding. Even though I'll probably make a fool of myself, I won't make a fool of him.
