More often than not, the toasts at a wedding reception are the most boring part of the day for many guests. Speeches that drone on and on, filled with inside jokes that most of the guests don’t understand, meanwhile everyone is just waiting to get on the dance floor. While normally we would say a nearly six-minute toast is on the long side, the fact that Taylor and Ryan Ricker's maid of honor and best man teamed up makes their speech average out to a reasonable length. Most importantly, they had fun with it.

The best man, Kody Ricker, starts up rapping along to the tune of the theme song of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, when Kayla Atwell, the maid of honor, interrupts him with modified lyrics to a country tune. The duo expertly goes back and forth with different rap songs, finally culminating in a group sing-along to “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. 

Though the wedding itself was only this past weekend, the video of the epic toast has already gone viral on the videographer’s Facebook page. Enjoy the full musical speech below!
