[Man] I usually have to
beg to be a part of weddings.
:17:46
And if I do get into the wedding,
of course they postponed it,
:17:49
and it's overseas somewhere,
and they've canceled my passport,
:17:51
and I can't be a part of it,
and it's ridiculous
and awkward and horrible.
:17:54
So thank you.
I take this very seriously.
:17:56
It's a gift
to be the best man.
:18:00
They say that once in your lifetime,
someone comes along...
:18:03
whom you're absolutely
meant to be with.
:18:05
Everything feels great,
stars are aligned,
:18:07
body and spirit
are in balance.

Formy friend
Jonathan Trager,
:18:12
that person was me.
:18:16
But as you know,
Jonny and I were simpatico.
:18:18
We were brothers
from another mother.
:18:20
We were friends
since freshman year.
:18:22
I watched him go out
with woman after woman,
and he'd always come crawling--
:18:26
he would come crawling
back to me.
:18:28
- It was embarrassing.
- You loved it.
:18:32
But then one night he came home
and things were different.
:18:34
His adole scent dream of becoming
a documentary filmmaker
was a thing of the past.
:18:37
- Thank God.
- He hardly even responded...
:18:40
to my playful yet tormented
flicks of my finger...
:18:43
against the soft part of his skull
as he studied for finals.
:18:47
And that is because
he had found her.
:18:50
The woman he was meant to be with.
And if anyone is qualified...
:18:53
to know when he met his soul mate,
it would be me, his first wife.
