subject: Educate Yourself On Speeches For The Best Man To Deliver A Truly Exceptional Speech [print this page] In my experience the rehearsal dinner is one of the more pleasant aspects of the wedding weekend. Typically it means family and only the closest friends will be converging for a wonderful meal in a night of celebration for the bride and groom.
What it also means is some family, some friends, and everyone in the wedding party will be giving toasts. However, no speech is more anticipated than the best man speech. If you fall into this select category, I'm sure there's some trepidation on your part about standing up and delivering a best man speech in front of everyone. I undoubtedly felt that way, and I'm confident I'm not the only one.
But as the evening unfolds, it becomes obvious who practiced this "fine art" of toasting and those who didn't.
Some will speak "off the cuff". Generally this is referred to as "winging it" and is one way of going about it that's not necessarily recommended, unless you're a professional. Others will deliver awkward, jumbled speeches that are certainly well-meaning but if the speech-giver didn't take the time to prepare something, what does that say about their feelings toward the bride and groom?
Surely as the order of rehearsal dinner toasts progresses, you will begin seeing those that did prepare. Undoubtedly they're probably nervous but they feel confident in their methods of speaking and in what they're saying. But where does that confidence come from? Where is that knowledge of public speaking learned?
Sadly the resources available on public speaking, and specifically speeches for the best man, that most of us have great access to are extremely limited. Any local bookstore will undoubtedly have something of use, but at how much cost to you? We all know how much hardcover books on etiquette cost these days? And the library? Well if you're one of the lucky ones that can even locate your card you can head down to the public library where you'll find out of date books that describe toast-giving as if its 1950 -- which is probably when the book was written.
The internet is where most of us turn these days when researching a topic. But how many websites out there offer truly good advice? How many break everything down in an easy-to-read format that will provide a quick-read for the consumer? How many websites rate the various sites on the 'net that offer rehearsal dinner toast information in the first place? Not many.
Until now.
