subject: The Best Way To Create A Best Man Speech! [print this page] Lets be truthful: the thought of a wedding with the best man speech is not exactly in our comfort zone. When it comes to being best friends, being there for each other and even helping each other out in everyway needed, nobody beats us. But we don't exactly race to volunteer when it comes to making a speech in front of who knows how many people, many of whom you don't have the first idea who they might be and others whom you know too closely for your own comfort.
It is very difficult trying to write a best man wedding speech that is interesting, impressive and even witty and don't offend anybody in the process? Well first of all brainstorm and get all the anecdotes and memories that you can think of on paper.
If youve known each other from childhood, there ought to a couple of funny incidences that merit to be mentioned and shine a personal light on the groom (or the bride if youve known her for a long time also). You want to find some memories that depict your friend well and underline his personality, that show who he is and who the bride is getting married to. Having a look at an old photo album may do the trick to trigger some memorable memories. You can probably get one from the groom's mother or father, shell be happy to provide you with some memorabilia too to bring back memories from way back.
When you have your list of memories and also the things you like best about him, make another list of the people that will be attending the nuptials that you know personally. When looking at both lists, drop the memories that would leave a person present at the wedding in a bad light. If the anecdote has the potential to be hurtful or offensive to anyone present at the celebration, scratch it. The funniest story since wedding speeches were invented is not worth the fall-out sure to follow.
Once you've reduced your list (which is probably all crumpled by now from all the deep thinking) to usable facts check it once more and choose the memories that show best who your friend is and maybe uncover some hidden trait that's not commonly known about him (just make sure you won't get him into trouble) for your best shot at a best man wedding speech.
Now you only need to get your ducks in a row. I think a great starting point is to focus on the couple and show a few things that make them the great couple they are and that brought them to this happy occasion. After that you could mention some memories that would let the bride know who she tied the knot with. You can go on to the historic part and describe the groom in all his splendour (or attempts at it). Also weave in some nice characteristics of the bride if you know her well enough. Let the bride know the groom is the best thing that could have ever happened to her, project their beautiful future and finish your speech with a witty or funny toast.
Of the many best man wedding speeches people hear, yours will be remembered with joy and it will seal your lifelong friendship with the new couple. And it even might get you some brownie points with Aunt Lucille, whom you didnt take revenge on by pointing out that certain event some twenty-five years ago when she became that not so favourite aunt, even though it would have been so funny.
