help i need help with bestman speech

[alecstilleyedye]

when i had the honour, for some reason i brought the house down. breaking to the groom, the news that his team had lost 5-0 in the scottish cup final brought cheers/laughter, as did my finishing gag about taking one of the bridesmaids to bed later (i.e. my daughter, the groom was my (now) wife's brother).

i'd recommend preparing it all beforehand and learning it well enough that you only need a few prompt cards. and at least 3 glasses of wine.

good luck

Try and make it a bit longer than the one given at a wedding my sister went to.

The best man stood up.

"Thanks for coming, lets get pissed"

He sat down again having finished his speech.

Just a couple of minutes. I went to a wedding and the best man stood up and said "Thanks for all the booze mate, your the best. Good luck."
Then the other time the best man stood up and talked for over 10 minutes, and everyone kinda zoned off.

Props, you need props.

And embarassing pictures of the groom growing up, a laptop and projector.

That can keep for going for 10 minutes, with a few cheesy lines poking mild fun at the groom. Finish off with a few slushy, coupley, lines about how he's genuinely fallen for the bride, wish them well for the future and you're all done.

Play to the crowd, enjoy it, remember the audience wants you do do well and you'll be fine.

Somebody well versed in the art of speechmaking once told me that a good speech should have a beginning and an end , preferably not very far apart.

Before the reception try to arrange to have a crowd of nude cyclists turn up , just like this happy couple

then you won't be short of things to talk about in your speech

As a bestman I once used the line " I hope you're as happy as I though I'd be" my EX wife didn't seem too impressed (mind you she wasn't my ex at the time )
