Best man speech


Say something nice about your friendship, the bride and the bridesmaids.
Tell a pretty vanilla story that is only slightly embarrassing.
Say something else nice and ask everyone to raise a glass.

It's not a stand-up gig so don't worry about being funny. And keep it to around 2-3 minutes which doesn't sound like much but will feel like an eternity.

plastered, a few bags of the manic stuff, then deliver a form of speech in your poshest screaming klingon. Who wouldn't love it.
 
Go balls out and be absolutely brutal. Unfortunately I’ve been to lots of weddings and the ones where the best man has been absolutely turboed and let the groom have it have been the only good ones.

Nothing worse than a PG best man’s speech.
 
Best man once, my speech went like this

How we met
Childhood memory
Older childhood visits after wed moved away
Even though he's a kopite joke
Heartfelt story about him looking after me when I was working 18 hours straight on the reg
Him being a constant friend and never letting me down
But now he's met someone beautiful who somehow brought out even more of the best of him
His mum (rip) would be proud of who he is
Best wishes

Forgot to thank everyone, forgot to take talk about the bride, didn't crack any jokes really, ad libbed the lot, seemed to go down well

One thing I would say is there's a way to not let anything be left unsaid, without being too mushy. Be genuine and you'll be sound. If you try to be something you're not it will be much harder.

Good luck!
 

Went to my mates sons wedding a few years back and the best man totally roasted my mate (Father of the groom)
Told a story of when groom and best man were younger they heard my mate having sex with his new girlfriend in the next bedroom and went into explcit details about it,
All while my mates sat there with his current partner and her teenage daughter!!!
 
Done it once and will be doing it again this year, seemed to go alright as one sharing it with one of the other lads. Tried to be jokey without being too harsh, plenty of compliments to the bridal party and no longer than five mins. You'll be sweet mate
