Control freak

It’s not uncommon for the best man to be rather daunted by the duties he has to perform, but ever since Paul asked me I’ve felt pretty relaxed. Because he’s so organised and a bit of a control freak, I thought that he’ll sort the whole thing – the stag do, which he pretty much did, the wedding, which he and Linda have done fanatically and, of course, my speech. So come on, Paul – can I have it now, please?

Here's to a well-organized wedding! Nothing has been left to chance or overlooked in the run-up to this day. Paul even prepared a spreadsheet listing the probability of attendance for each guest. He had Linda down as 100%. Which I thought was a bit presumptuous.
