I was asked by Jason a few weeks ago to deliver a best man's speech during his wedding dinner, and I said yes. It was indeed a privilege as Jason is an incredible friend I have known for over 20 years. I have nothing but amazing things to say about him. However, my mum passed away and I initially pulled out from attending the wedding dinner, as Chinese traditions and customs would normally prevent guests with recently deceased family members from attending. Jason insisted that I attend and after getting necessary checks and approvals from all relevant parties, I finally made it to the wedding. The Best Man's speech was delivered, it was the second speech I had to do in the same week, after my mum's eulogy at the Memorial Service, just a few days before. To Jason, thanks for having me at the wedding dinner, thanks for having me as a friend, and thanks for always believing in me, when I did not even see anything in myself. Thanks for bringing out the best version of myself, and I owe you so much, for being such an incredible friend that I honestly feel I don't deserve. To Jason & Gan, congratulations to both of you, may your lives be filled with everlasting blessings and happiness! All images taken by Justin Hee (IG @jh.pixels), used with permission.

| Thanks Jason for always being there. |
 |
| Suddenly the microphone appears! |
 |
| It has been a while since I went on a stage to do anything |
 |
| Braving the speech without paper/phone, I think I regretted that halfway through the speech |
 |
| Jason and his beloved mum |
 |
| Crowd was surprisingly supportive with positive reactions |
 |
| It is strange seeing so many photographs of myself taken in one week. I was the one taking photos of others usually! |
 |
| I admit, delivering this speech, I was more nervous than doing eulogy for mum. Because Jason was there! |
 |
| It was indeed one of the most nerve-racking moment I had |
 |
| Jason and Gan |
 |
| From this view, those probably aren't the best choice of shoes |
 |
| Simmy! A common friend with the couple |
 |
| Oh God knows what I was doing on stage |
 |
| Glad that I managed to crack a few laughs! |
 |
| A toast - Jason said no Yam Seng |
 |
| Man I needed that hug more than anything |
 |
| Me, Spencer, Jason & Gan, Bihzhu |
 |
| Some secrets are not meant to be told |
 |
| To both Jason & Gan - I love you guys so, so much! Stay awesome always |
