You sit around a large table in a huge hall near the church. You were sharing the table wth; Gaby, Oliver, and Benedict's half sister and his niece.
You mess with the flower petals on the table as Sophie's parents make a speech about how much they love Benedict and how he is already like a son to them and blah blah blah.
You look around and see everyone tearing up as Sophie rubs Benedict's back softly.
Christopher was sat on Sophie's lap and was constantly making little noises, making everyone laugh.

Gaby nudges you, interrupting you from your thoughts. You look at her as she gestures her head to Benedict who was now stood up with a microphone in his hand, about to make a speech.
You sit up and rest your chin on your hands. Benedict clears his throat and smiles faintly.

"Thank you to everyone for coming today to celebrate mine and Sophie's wedding-" he starts, turning to Sophie and smiling

"When you meet someone and you just fall in love with them-"
You sigh slightly, ignoring his speech- knowing that it'll only make you upset. You were barely keeping it together as it was.
You watch his face as he says his speech , you notice how his face always stays the same and his eyes were either on Sophie or on the floor. You smile sadly as he finishes his speech but then feel your smile fall as he places a soft kiss on Sophie's lips.

You watch Tom's speech for Benedict, which was funny as hell

"Now ladies and gentleman, it's time for the bests mans speech. I'd like to welcome Benedict's best friend and best man, Oliver Wood" Timothy says happily, handing Oliver the microphone. Oliver takes the microphone nervously before he stands up and smiles.
Everyone cheers and all of the 'lad friends' all chant for Oliver, making you laugh.

Olivier clears his throat and smiles faintly before he pats the microphone. He smiles at Benedict, who chuckles slightly at Oliver.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if there's anybody here this afternoon who's feeling nervous, apprehensive and queasy at the thought of what lies ahead...... it's probably because you have just married Benedict Cumberbatch.
To those of you who don't know me yet. My name is Oliver and I would like to thank Ben for finally confirming that I am actually the BEST man!" Oliver starts. The audience all roar with laughter.
You smile to yourself as Oliver rubs his forehead nervously

"Now I am supposed to use this opportunity to recall embarrassing moments to ridicule My best friend Ben. But I've been put under strict instructions not to mention the time Ended up naked outside of a bar in Ibiza OR the time that we ended up paddling boat with no ores in the middle of the lake in Wales. Of course... Ben..... I won't say a thing. My lips are sealed. The theme of my speech is this: why marry Benedict Cumberbatch? What is so special about him?-"
The audience laugh again as you laugh too. Gaby looks at you and smiles, tears in her eyes as you smile at Oliver.

"-Over the last few months I've made extensive investigations and I think I've found the answer.  One reason to marry Benedict is that he's exceptionally thoughtful – he's always thinking about friends and family. In fact, he starts thinking from the moment he gets up...... and doesn't stop until he opens his mouth!" He Jokes. Benedict knocks his head back laughing.

"Joking aside, it's a wonderful honour being best man today as Benedict is a very special person to me. He is a true friend who never ceases to amaze me with his kindness. He has listened to me through many a crisis. He gives without any thought of reward. He is a super guy and a role model of a friend. And yes, we've had our differences... but nothing that two lawyers and a judge couldn't sort out.  I'd like to wish the happy couple well and toast their future happiness." Benedict smiles to him
