I was best man to my mates wedding (obviously as you don't do these things randomly) and I hadn't a clue who most of the brides family were (incidentally the brides sister is now Mrs Pud) When it came to reading out the cards one was slipped in from 'Uncle Ken', unbeknown to me 'Uncle Ken' had died 2 weeks prior and I didn't find out until I read it. You can imagine the looks I got and I was like a startled rabbit in the headlights of an oncoming truck not knowing what to do next, so I asked for a round of applause for Uncle Ken
So a simple toast to absent friends is a bloody good idea. So make sure Andy your best man knows who is or isn't dead when/if he reads out any cards.
