A Wedding On Mt Tamborine?
5 Speech Tips For The Best Man
5 Speech Tips For The Best Man
1. Remember that your speech is about both the groom and the bride - and their partnership. Obviously your relationship primarily is with the groom, that is why you are the best man. But do not fall into the common mistake of just talking about the groom. This is not the place for that. Remember you are celebrating the couple today, their lifelong promise and commitment to each other. This is what your speech should be about. If you have limited knowledge about the bride, contact one of her bridesmaids, get together with her and have her help you out.
2. No bad taste jokes. The jokes you told at the grooms 21st birthday are not appropriate at his wedding. Bad taste jokes always backfire, making you look stupid and leaving people wondering why you are the best man. While jokes are a great part of any speech, the central theme of the joke always must enhance the happiness, joy and love of the occasion.
3. No tales of the exploits of the groom with other women. This includes ex-girlfriends, one night stands, the strippers on the stag night - it is all out-of-bounds on this night. These types of stories leave people feeling uncomfortable on a wedding and if elderly family are present, they are likely to get offended.
4. Remember to congratulate the bride and groom on their wedding. Sometimes a funny way to do this is congratulating the bride on her catch, making her aware in a humorous manner that you believe your buddy was "the catch". If this is done in a humorous albeit loving way, it can bring the house down.
5. Don't forget to complement the bridesmaids on their dresses and how beautiful they are. You should do this even if their dresses are terrible and the bridesmaids look like the sides of a truck. It is protocol and good manners.
