VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Watch an Australian tv show

In the last class, I mentioned how Sherlock being Watson’s best man, and today, I would like to write about the story of Watson’s wedding. According to the schedule, Sherlock helps Watson to welcome the guests in front of the gate and says hello to everyone, but Sherlock is nervous and his smiles too fake, which make the guests feel so weird. In the middle of Wedding, Sherlock need to have a speech about his best wishes to the new couple, especially his highly appreciation for Watson as the best man. But he says a lot of embarrassing things about Walton first, when all the people think it will be a horrible speech, unexpectedly, Sherlock says “but he is the only person who can accept a weird friend like me and stand by my side with no hesitation always, Mary, the man deserves your love”. It makes all the guests moved deeply.
