An easy-breezy friend is attempting to calm his best mate’s nerves this morning, despite the fact that he appears to be holding up an entire wedding party.
Spreading his relaxed demeanour throughout ‘Milky Stars’ homestead, the premier wedding venue on the outskirts of Betoota, it’s believed local Best Man Jason Marche has taken it upon himself to try and chill out his best mate before the most important day of his life.
Doing his bit to take the edge off the stressed nature of pre-wedding preparations, Jason is believed to be the first in the bridal party to crack a beer, despite the fact he himself is in no way ready to be photographed professionally in public.
Waltzing into the living room wearing nothing but undies and an unironed shirt, Jason reportedly took one look at the sweat pouring off his best mate and proceeded to convince the stressed groom that everything was under control.
“Chill out mate, we’ve got heaps of time!” said Jason, rubbing his friends shoulders as he knocked back a third gulp of Crown Lager.
“We’ve got like two hours till we gotta be anywhere!”
After taking the liberty of skipping the wedding party breakfast and choosing to sleep in, Jason’s early plea for a beer are a sure signal that he’s planning to ride off adrenaline throughout the day, and just take each moment as it comes.
“The chicks are gonna take ages with their hair and makeup, I reckon we’re heaps ahead of schedule,” said Jason, despite not having a single clue of the wedding run sheet or where or when any activities were taking place on the day.
Taking a moment to admire his best mates crisp wedding suit, stepped in to adjust his friend’s collar and wipe away some lint gathering on his shoulder pads.
“You’re lookin’ great mate, now park up and have a beer with me…”
“Today is a marathon, not a sprint, you’ve gotta stay hydrated big fella!”
