text: The musical toast a bride received from her brother in place of a speech by their father was also a way of remembering their dad, who died of motor neuron disease 10 years ago. Amanda Beringer asked her brother Brad Fraser to make a toast at her wedding at Eagle Bay, south of Perth. Far from a conventional toast, Mr Fraser performed a song which poked fun at marriage. The performance was also a tribute to their father, Peter, who lost his battle with the debilitating motor neuron disease 10 years previously, and a celebration of his zest for life. Scroll down for video . Amanda Beringer (left) asked her brother Brad Fraser (right) to make a toast at her wedding . The toast that Brad made at the wedding at Eagle Bay, south of Perth, was a musical one . 'It took the focus off the fact that Dad wasn’t here on my wedding day,' Mrs Beringer told Daily Mail Australia. 'My father wasn’t there to do my wedding speech, while my husband’s father was.' 'He (Mr Fraser) turned it around and and made it light-hearted which was great. It made me laugh instead of being upset because my Dad wasn’t there.' Mrs Beringer, 33, said it's what her father would have wanted. During the last stages of his disease he lost the ability to talk, but he never lost his love of life and his sense of fun. Brad sung heartily about the highs and lows of marriage . 'He had a computer where he could type in the words and it would read it out,' Mrs Beringer said. 'Even then he’d be making you laugh. He was still in good spirits even though he couldn’t talk.' 'Despite his disease he was there always up for a laugh until the very end. Brad’s speech was a kind of celebration of that.' She agreed some of the song's lyrics were not the kind most newly married women might like to hear. 'Well it's done now, you can't turn back. You're legally binded by the wedding trap,' Mr Fraser sang. 'For better for worse, it's only a curse, so open your wallet…and fill up her purse.' Everyone in attendance at the wedding couldn't get enough of Brad's ditty . The crowd, who in a video of the performance posted online can be heard bursting out in laughter, erupt into a standing ovation at the end. 'It was very funny – although maybe not the best advice to be giving my husband from my perspective!' Mrs Beringer said. 'But it was very touching. It brought a tear to my eye and pulled a lot of heartstrings.' Mr Fraser said he regularly works as a master of ceremonies at social functions, but always gives 10 per cent of his fee to the Motor Neuron Association. Far from a conventional toast, Mr Fraser's song poked fun at some of the burdens of marriage . The song was also a tribute to Brad and Amanda's father, Peter, who passed away of Motor Neuron Disease 10 years earlier . 'Motor Nueron Disease doesn’t affect your brain – it affects everything else,' Mr Fraser told Daily Mail Australia. 'My Dad would be sitting there not saying anything or just moaning, but you knew he was getting the joke. 'They’re laughing inside and you know that. So to give everyone a laugh at the wedding was important. It’s what my Dad would have wanted.' The musical toast was such a success that wedding guests gave it a standing ovation .
