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 .

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 ca n'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 could n'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 .
