My fiance’ is having his younger brother stand up as his Best Man in 10 days. His brother, lets call him “BILL”, is a bit of a nut. He does a LOT of funny voices, and always gets laughs where ever he goes. I’ve caught wind of him planning to do his Best Man toast in his “Arnie”. (from the Movie, “what’s Eating Gilbert Grape”….Arnie was the mentally retarded boy played by Leonardo diCaprio….. Anyways… I think it would be HILARIOUS…. and so does my Fiance’….
HOWEVER…. I actually HAVE a mentally disabled cousin. And my youngest son is also Mentally Disabled. While WE know he’s not poking fun at people with disabilities, some of the other guests may not find this funny at all.
Should I send word back through the grape vine that “Arnie” should NOT be making the toast? (Cuz I bet the weird Chinese guy could do it instead.)
Thanks everyone, for your help in this delicat4e matter. I had my finace’ speak to his brother and “Bill” had some rather heartfelt feelings to share. It seems “Bill” is worried that people will not like him for who he really is. So rather than reveal his true self, he hides behind his impersonations. Yes, he HAD planned for “Arnie” to give the toast. After revealing his fears to us, he asked us who we would like to give our toast. (to select from his cast of characters) We requested that he do the character of “Bill”, the ypounger brother of a man very much in love!!
