Justin Timberlake wasn't the only guy making a big speech during his October wedding to Jessica Biel.

The 32-year-old "Suit & Tie" singer says his SNL BFF Jimmy Fallon almost stole the show when he interrupted Timberlake at the romantic Italian ceremony.

"Picture this: I'm in the heart of an impromptu speech at my wedding reception in front of 150 guests, pouring it out to my lovely new bride," Timberlake writes in a Time profile he did on Fallon for their 100 Most Influential People list.

"You could hear a pin drop," he continued. "I paused for just a moment in between thoughts. And then there was Jimmy, shouting a joke from his seat, sparking an improv between the two of us that went on for a good five or 10 minutes and had all our guests roaring with laughter.

"Interrupting the groom's speech at the wedding reception? Cracking jokes when your buddy is looking desperately for the words to say that he hopes his wife will remember forever? It turned into a moment that everyone there will remember forever. Anyone else would have bombed on that stage. And then I would have kicked their ass."

Good to know there's no hard feelings between the hilarious and talented pals.
