I do have younger viewers on there, so I have to be mindful
True story, I've done quite a few wedding speeches over the years and can't help but put in some risky jokes (my family say I've torrettes because I don't have a filter

), the last speech was at my mums wedding a couple of years back where I gave her away (gladly btw

).
I invited my brothers and sisters round to my house the week before to jot down some notes for the speech, obviously I've inserted some jokes which at the time got approval because it was all adults in attendance at the wedding.
So, I'm at the top table with one of my brothers and sat a couple of seats away on the same table was my mums husbands granddaughter who we didn't know was attending.
So I've stood up, looked at my brother who was mouthing "no Charlie", I of course smiled at him and he bowed his head down and murmured "fuck sake"
I started off with, "hi, how old is your daughter" to the parents who replied "12".
I said "you might want to block her ears as there's some priest jokes in here that are relevant to her age"
In fairness I toned it down because his side of the family looked mortified while mine were pissing themselves laughing
