Oh man, I have been there before. I am certainly not one of those kinds of guys that wanted to step up to the plate and deliver a speech to the huge crowd at my brothers wedding. However, I wanted to try to lighten the mood with my speech. I find them nice only when they are informative and rarely any “hidden meanings” within them. So, I tried to accomplish this as well with my own speech. I would highly recommend the same route to others.
Let’s face it. The married couple probably invited as many people as they could so that they could receive all the items that they wanted for their new house. So, you now that you know there are going to be people there that may have never met you, you should start with a little introduction about yourself. This is mainly for the people that are not brothers, and perhaps even if you are, you should introduce yourself as such. Things like how long you have known him or how you guys originally met would be great ones.
The next thing can be something to draw people in. A couple of humorous and short stories about the groom will bring people in and not make it feel quite so sappy as it might if you went straight to how much the groom means to you. But try to avoid things like, “I remember watching Tom chase girls around the pool table at the bars a few years back.”
Last, but certainly not least, you should end it with something sappy. Everyone will probably start to tear about this time, particularly the mother of the groom. But it is fine; you should tell them how the relationship has changed him. How they are perfect for one another. Talk about their relationship in general and perhaps their future plans.
In the end, try to keep it short. Keep your stories directly to the point. And do not hesitate writing your Best Man Speech down and reading it. It is better than trying to memorize it or getting stage fright and completely forgetting what you wanted to say.The next thing can be something to draw people in.

Valorie Jay asked:
Your best friend since grade school is finally tying the knot and has, of course, asked you to be the best man. During the ceremony, you’ll be at his side with all eyes on the happy couple, but at the reception, it’ll be your time to shine in the spotlight. A tradition steeped in history, the toast given by the best man is expected to be a heartfelt, but not overly sappy, speech honoring your friend and his new wife.
Here are some helpful tips on how to give a memorable toast as the best man.
Preparation is of the utmost importance when asked to be the best man in someone’s wedding. You’ll have several responsibilities ahead of you, such as the ever-important wedding toast, so preparing early will allow you plenty of time to edit or re-write if need be. Even if you’re at ease in front of a crowd, a wedding reception is a completely different environment than most are used to, so don’t rely on the hopes that “something will just come to you” when it’s that time.
A wedding can often be an emotional time as well, so you don’t want to find yourself scrambling for something meaningful to say at the last minute in front of the crowd. Begin preparing your speech by writing down whatever comes into your mind first. Let the words flow without worrying about whether they would really make complete sense yet or not, you know what you’re talking about, and there’s plenty of time for revisions since you started planning early.
Practice can really help with perfecting a wedding toast. It’s helpful if you time yourself in front of a mirror, this way you’ll get an idea of exactly how long it takes you from start to finish. Then have a friend, not the groom-to-be of course, listen to the speech and offer their constructive criticism if needed.
Be sure you speak clearly without being too fast or too slow. You’ll want the people in the back of the room along with those that may be hard of hearing to understand what you’re saying too.
If you don’t already know the bride-to-be, make it a point to get to know her sometime before the wedding, or ask your friend some thoughtful questions about her. Enlist the help of her friends and family for anecdotes or stories from her childhood that perhaps you could tie in with something about your friend. An amusing or meaningful story about the groom’s youth would also be well received in a wedding toast as it shows who he was, not only who he is today.
Save the jokes and one-liners for amateur night at the comedy club and focus on the happy couple instead. Remember who your audience is, a good number of people will either be the elderly or young children so use your good judgment when giving your toast.
A little humor is always fine of course, but profanities or wild stories about the groom or the couple will make your speech remembered for all the wrong reasons, not to mention embarrassing the newlyweds as well.

Chris Tait asked:
It’s a great honor when you’re asked to serve as the Best Man in a wedding. Whether you’re the groom’s brother, a childhood friend, or a college buddy, the invitation has been extended because you share a profound relationship, and the groom is entrusting you to help him through one of the most important times in his life.
As you start thinking through your host of responsibilities, from planning the bachelor party to getting the groom to the church on time, one of the most challenging duties can be delivering a meaningful speech to the bride and groom. With expectations high, you want to craft a speech that will not only make the wedding couple happy, but leave a lasting impression with the guests.
Let’s face it, whether it’s an intimate affair of 20 people or an audience of 200, delivering the right words can be nerve-racking. For many, public speaking conjures thoughts of sweaty palms, a racing heart, and dry mouth. But don’t worry, with a little pre-planning and rehearsal, you’ll be able to deliver a speech that will leave the guests wanting more. Just follow these easy steps.
1. Take a walk down memory lane. In this first stage, you’ll want to think back on your most memorable experiences with the groom. Whether embarrassing goof-ups or meaningful stories of comradery, jot down some of your favorites. To help jar your memory, look through old photos, talk to other friends and even take the groom out for a fun night to talk about the “old” times. You have a one-of-a-kind relationship with the groom, so choose memories that reflect the depth and breadth of your experiences together.
2. Remember the bride! It will be equally important for you to recognize the bride in the speech you deliver. Maybe you’ve known the bride for years, or maybe she’s a more recent acquaintance, be sure to include a story or anecdote that reflects positively on your friend’s new life partner. You’ll want to include your well-wishes for the bride and groom’s future together.
3. Decide on a tone for your speech. You’ll probably want a combination of humor and seriousness. A speech that is too weighted in humor can come across as crass and insincere, but a speech that is too serious can be downright boring. Make sure that you strike a nice balance.
4. Seek professional help. www.TheBestManSpeech.com/usabestman is a fantastic resource for creating personalized, meaningful wedding speeches that bring the house down. The site features the world’s largest collection of wedding speech material organized by a series of interactive menus that make it fun & easy to build a speech that will perfectly represent you and your relationship to the groom.
5. Start writing. You’ve already jotted down your favorite stories and memories, but now you need to compile your content into a thoughtful speech. Remember that you’ll want to start with an attention-grabbing story. Humor is always a great opener and a sure-fire way to hold the audience’s attention. Deliver your more serious stories mid-speech, and then, as you draw to a close, come full circle with another funny story. You’ll want to leave the audience smiling.
6. Rehearse. Rehearse. Rehearse. The week leading up to the wedding is a great time for you to practice your speech. And you should practice it every opportunity you get. Stand in front of the mirror and rehearse out loud. You’ll want to go through your speech at a nice even cadence. Don’t feel rushed. And stay away from filler words like “um” and “you know”. Finally, try to keep the length under 7 minutes.
By the time the wedding day rolls around, all of your preparation will pay off, and the time and effort you will have invested will be evident. When the microphone is finally handed over to you, be sure to stand up confidently, make eye contact with the wedding couple & guests, project your voice, and have fun!
You will not only deliver a memorable wedding speech, but you will also reinforce your friendship with the groom, and earn a special place in the heart of the bride and guests. And that is the mark of a wonderful best man.

Hi, later this year I will be a proud best man for my Wife’s brother’s wedding in the Philippines (Mindanao). Unfortunately, being British and from the UK, I know and speak next-to-no Tagalog or Visayan! I’m not going to let that put me off though and so I now need help from any budding Philippine jokers (or jokesses?) out there!
If anyone knows any suitable wedding jokes to amuse the guests, I would be very grateful to recieve them! It would be best if you could post both the joke and it’s english translation if possible. Family jokes and wedding jokes would all be very much appreciated! Many thanks for any responses! I look forward to laughing at your bestlines! Tony.
