Best Man Speeches

It may not seem like you’ve done much so far, but you have put some thought into what the groom means to you and hopefully got a few funny anecdotes, jokes, or situations that are suitable for your best man speech.

Take another look at them and start to think about which has the best potential for your best man speech.

If they all seem too short you can combine two or three. And don’t be afraid of embellishing them a little to maximize the humor value – nobody said you’ve got to tell the absolute truth as long as what you say rings true.

Also, it doesn’t have to be the funniest thing ever – all the guests will be on your side and more than willing to laugh at anything that vaguely resembles a joke, so as long as it is slightly funny you’ll get away with it.

Once you’ve decided on a story or stories, write them down in full, making sure the humor and content are suitable for the wedding. As mentioned before, you mustn’t step over the boundaries and those will vary from wedding to wedding. Don’t offend the bride, her family, or anyone else and if there is the remotest danger then edit it out.

Lead in to your funny anecdote with a quick introduction – who are you and how do you know the groom. This serves to put your friendship in some kind of context, whether you’ve been lifelong friends or known each other for 10 years.

Now you’ve filled in some of the gaps you have the first draft of your best man speech. It still won’t feel like it’s ready – and it isn’t yet – but with a little bit of work you’ll be able to shape what you have and mold it into a speech that fits you perfectly and brings the house down on the big day.
